Regenerative Fillers vs. Traditional Dermal Fillers
Expert Insights from Dr. Patel at Clarity Medical Spa
Looking to restore youthful volume, smooth fine lines, or refresh your natural glow—but not sure which type of filler is right for you? At Clarity Medical Spa in San Jose, Dr. Patel offers both traditional and regenerative fillers, tailored to your unique skin goals. Here’s what you need to know to choose the right solution.
💉 What Are Traditional Dermal Fillers?
Traditional fillers like Juvederm and Restylane are made with hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance your body naturally produces. These fillers are popular for their immediate results and ability to add volume, contour, and hydration.
Best for:
- Sculpting lips, cheeks, and jawline
- Softening deep wrinkles and folds
- Quick enhancements for events
Results: Instant
Longevity: 6–12 months
Reversible: Yes
🌿 What Are Regenerative Fillers?
Regenerative fillers stimulate collagen production and support your skin’s natural ability to heal and renew. These include:
- Sculptra® – Stimulates long-term collagen growth using poly-L-lactic acid
- Radiesse® – Provides immediate volume and long-term collagen support with calcium-based microspheres
- EZGel PRF – A 100% natural filler made from your own blood (platelet-rich fibrin) to rejuvenate and restore
Best for:
- Long-term skin rejuvenation
- Improving skin texture and firmness
- Natural, gradual enhancement
Results: Gradual (weeks to months)
Longevity: Up to 2+ years
Reversible: No (regenerates from within)
