Each time we laugh, smile, cry, or frown, our muscles contract. Over time, these muscular contractions develop into wrinkles, deep creases, and furrows in the skin, which make us look tired, angry, or old. Aesthetx offers dermal fillers, a series of rejuvenating injectables that can can erase years of aging to give a more refreshed and youthful appearance.
Aesthetx offers a repertoire of dermal fillers that have demonstrated efficacy and safety. Many of the dermal fillers we use contain substances that are found inside the body naturally, while others contain synthetic ingredients to mimic natural substances or to stimulate the skin’s natural production of collagen. Aesthetx uses a unique protocol for administering our dermal fillers: each procedure is treated as a sterile implant procedure, with stringent protocols for antiseptic application. With this, Aesthetx guarantees a level of care and safety that’s not seen in other practices.

Restylane® and Juvéderm® are FDA-approved dermal fillers made from hyaluronic acid gels. Juvéderm® comes as a smooth gel, while Restylane® is slightly granular. These differences can impact where your San Jose practitioner decides to use facial fillers. Restylane® typically lasts from six to nine months, while Juvéderm®’s effects can last nine months to a year.
Both involve injections, but BOTOX® relaxes muscle movement that creates dynamic wrinkles. Dermal fillers restore lost volume to smooth over static (stationary) wrinkles. We often combine these treatments to deliver optimal facial improvement.
