Dermal Fillers

What is it like when Filler begins to “settle” after injections? At Parson Skin Center, located in Scottsdale, AZ. We have 4 amazing nurse injectors who specialize in neuromodulators as well as dermal fillers. A question that comes up often is what is it like when the filler that was injected begins to settle? Or what does it mean for filler to “settle?” When a filler begins to settle, it typically refers to the gradual redistribution or...

Can sun exposure damage injectables like Botox and fillers? Possibly, according to some experts, which is yet another reason to lather on the sunscreen (and invest in SPF 30+ lip balm). Botox and fillers go together like summer and sun hats at Parson Skin Center, and everyone wants to know how to make their injectables last as long as possible. Some studies have shown that UV rays can break down hyaluronic acid (HA) faster than...

Dermal fillers are usually associated with providing volume where you’ve always wanted it or restoring volume lost due to aging or weight loss. However, at Parson Skin Center, we have noticed an increase in younger patients opting for fillers as a preventative measure—also known as pre-juvenation. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons reports that 3.4 million dermal filler procedures are performed annually in the U.S. It is the second most popular minimally invasive procedure undertaken...

Dermal fillers and HA fillers are nearly synonymous, but did you know there are non-HA fillers? HA, or hyaluronic acid, naturally occurs in the body and draws water to the area. This means that a synthetic form of HA is ideal for fillers in just about every part of the body. HA fillers are a temporary way to make or restore volume, and they are one of the most popular injectables at Parson Skin Center....

Two is usually better than one, especially when it comes to cosmetic treatments. For instance, Dr. Shaun Parson Plastic Surgery & Skin Center and Parson Skin Center provide two-in-one clinical services, including surgical and non-surgical solutions. Sometimes mixing and matching between the two provide the best results because there are limitations with every procedure. If you’re thinking about cosmetic surgery, whether it's a tummy tuck, breast implants, or facelift, there’s a good chance that the...

Sculptra, a type of collagen induction injectable, just made a News24 list of the hottest procedures for 2023—and at Parson Skin Center we couldn’t agree more. Unlike hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, the most popular and common type of dermal filler, Sculptra is a collagen bio-stimulator that tells your body to produce more of its own collagen. Collagen is the building block for plump, youthful skin but we make less of it naturally as we get...

Most dermal fillers are made with a synthetic form of hyaluronic acid (HA)—but not Sculptra. It’s technically part of the filler family at Parson Skin Center, but it also works completely different than most fillers. It is an injectable, and just like other “fillers” it is designed to volumize, smooth, and sculpt the area for a more youthful aesthetic. However, Sculptra is actually a form of collagen stimulation which means results are incredibly natural-looking. Sculptra is...
