What Are Dermal Fillers and Biostimulators?

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that restore volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial contours. Most fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin that hydrates and plumps tissue.

• Cheeks and midface

• Lips (volume and definition)

• Nasolabial folds (smile lines)

• Marionette lines

• Chin and jawline contouring

• Temples

• Hands (for volume restoration)

Restylane XpresHAn Technology™: Dynamic and Natural

Restylane® fillers with XpresHAn Technology™ are designed to flex with expression—perfect for smile lines, nasolabial folds, and midface movement. They integrate beautifully for results that look soft, natural, and dynamic.

Biostimulators: Radiesse® and Sculptra®

While this page focuses on hyaluronic acid-based fillers, we also offer advanced collagen-stimulating injectables like Radiesse® and Sculptra®. These biostimulators help rebuild structural support and skin density over time and are often used as part of a regenerative protocol.

The Saluja Approach: Precision Filler + Regenerative Vision

At Saluja Cosmetic and Laser Center, we believe in the power of filler—when used precisely, conservatively, and artfully. Many of our patients achieve beautiful, natural-looking results with filler alone, and leave feeling more confident, refreshed, and radiant.

In fact, filler is one of Dr. Saluja’s most used and most loved tools. Whether it’s soft volume in the cheeks, gentle contouring along the jawline, or subtle lip enhancement, filler alone—done well—can elevate a face without ever looking overdone. For many patients, it is exactly what they need.

But when a patient's goals or anatomy call for something more, we also offer a layered, regenerative approach—one that addresses not just volume, but the skin's texture, tone, and internal support structure.

This bio-intelligent strategy combines filler with regenerative therapies to stimulate collagen, restore elasticity, and rebuild harmony from the inside out. The result is a look that not only appears youthful, but ages gracefully and continues to improve over time.

Whether your plan includes just filler or a more comprehensive aesthetic strategy, our goal is always the same:

• To honor your natural beauty

• To treat with intention, never excess

• And to deliver results that feel like you—elevated

Because your face isn’t a trend. It’s timeless.

Why More Filler Doesn’t Always Mean Better

A Smarter Approach to Facial Rejuvenation - More isn’t always better. Smarter is.

In today’s aesthetic world, terms like “full facial balancing” or “pan-facial re-volumization” are often used to promote 6, 8, or even 10+ syringes of filler in one session. Some injectors claim this can “restore a decade.” At Saluja Cosmetic and Laser Center, we take a different view. While fillers are an excellent tool, relying on volume alone—without considering skin quality, structure, or facial harmony—can lead to long-term issues.

Your Face Is Not Just Volume—It’s Structure, Skin, and Movement

True rejuvenation considers:

Ligament laxity and deep tissue support

Bone and fat pad changes

Skin thinning and wrinkling

Collagen, elastin, and vascular decline

Overfilling Can Distort Natural Proportions

Too much filler can create:

Pillow face or swelling

Filler migration

Static, unnatural movement

An overfilled or artificial appearance

Repeated Volume Can Stretch Skin

Excessive volume can result in:

Progressive skin laxity

Dependency on filler

Difficulty reversing effects in the future

Long-Term Accumulation Is Real

MRI and ultrasound studies show hyaluronic acid fillers can linger for years. Over time, this can:

Alter facial anatomy

Impact future treatments

Create cumulative puffiness or asymmetry

Filler Doesn’t Improve Skin Quality

Fillers do not treat:

Pigmentation or redness

Collagen or elastin loss

Surface texture or pore size
