What Are Facial Fillers?
The Gold Standard in Non-Surgical Facial Rejuvenation
Fine lines and wrinkles are well-known signs of an aging face — but a less recognized culprit is volume loss. As we age, we lose fat, collagen, and bone density beneath the skin, causing structural support to diminish, leading to sagging, hollowing, and jowling that no topical product can reverse.
Facial fillers — also called dermal fillers — are injectable treatments that strategically restore lost volume, smooth skin from within, and redefine facial contours for a refreshed, natural-looking result. At Perfect Skin Dermatology in Juno Beach, Florida, Dr. Susan Schroeder is recognized as one of Palm Beach County’s most skilled injectors, combining artistic precision with deep anatomical expertise.
Whether you’re looking for a subtle refresh or a more comprehensive non-surgical face contouring transformation — sometimes called a “liquid facelift” — Dr. Schroeder designs a customized protocol uniquely tailored to your anatomy, concerns, and aesthetic goals.
“Aging is not just about wrinkles — it is about the loss of structural support beneath the skin. Restoring that support with precision is where the real transformation happens.”
— Dr. Susan Schroeder, MD · Board-Certified Dermatologist, Juno Beach, FL
Facial Fillers vs. Botox — What’s the Difference?
Botox and neurotoxins relax the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles (frown lines, crow’s feet). Facial fillers add volume to address static wrinkles, hollows, and lost structure. Many patients benefit from a combination approach — Dr. Schroeder will advise which treatments best address your specific concerns during your consultation.

Why Choose Facial Fillers?
Beautiful Contours — Beyond Just Smoothing Wrinkles
A truly versatile treatment, facial filler injections offer a comprehensive range of benefits that go far beyond surface-level wrinkle reduction.
-
Restore Youthful VolumeFillers replenish lost fat and volume in key areas — cheeks, temples, lips, jawline — erasing years from your appearance while maintaining your natural look.
- Reduce Jowling & Hollowing. By filling skin laxity and restoring structural support, fillers counteract the downward migration of facial fat that, with age, creates jowling and under-eye hollows.
- Deep Hydration & Collagen Stimulation Hyaluronic acid-based fillers attract and retain moisture within the skin, while bio-stimulating fillers like Radiesse and Sculptra actively trigger your body’s own collagen production for long-term skin quality improvements.
- Natural Facial Contouring & Feature Refinement. In the hands of a skilled injector like Dr. Schroeder, facial fillers can refine the jawline, create a slimmer nasal profile (non-surgical rhinoplasty), enhance lip volume and definition, and lift the brow — all without a scalpel.
- Minimal Downtime — Maximum Results. Most patients resume normal activities immediately after treatment. Mild swelling or bruising, if any, typically resolves within days — making fillers ideal for busy Palm Beach lifestyles.
FDA-Approved Filler Options
Choosing the Right Filler for Your Needs
Not all facial fillers are alike. Each formulation is specifically designed to target certain facial areas and address specific concerns. Dr. Schroeder’s expertise lies in selecting the ideal product — or combination of products — with precise dosing and injection placement to deliver natural-looking, beautiful results. The following are the primary FDA-approved fillers available at Perfect Skin Dermatology in Juno Beach, FL:
Juvéderm®
The Juvéderm family of hyaluronic acid-based fillers is among the world’s most trusted. Formulations like Juvéderm Voluma (cheeks), Juvéderm Volbella (lips and fine lines), and Juvéderm Vollure (moderate to severe lines) allow Dr. Schroeder to precisely tailor treatment to each zone of the face. Hyaluronic acid naturally attracts water, plumping and hydrating from within for a youthful, refreshed appearance.
Restylane®
Restylane, Restylane Lyft, Restylane Silk, and Restylane Defyne are hyaluronic acid fillers that use NASHA and OBT technology for precise shaping and lift. Restylane products hold their shape particularly well in areas requiring structural support, making them a popular choice for Palm Beach filler patients seeking jawline definition, cheekbone enhancement, and under-eye correction.
Revanesse Versa+®
Revanesse Versa+ is a next-generation hyaluronic acid filler formulated with a spherical particle structure for exceptionally smooth integration into tissue. Clinical studies have shown lower rates of post-injection swelling compared to other HA fillers, making it an outstanding option for natural facial contouring in areas prone to swelling such as the lips and nasolabial folds.
Radiesse®
Radiesse is formulated with calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. It provides immediate volumization while simultaneously stimulating the body’s natural collagen production for ongoing skin tightening and rejuvenation. Ideal for deep facial folds, jawline contouring, hand rejuvenation, and patients seeking a bio-stimulating filler with lasting results.
Sculptra® Aesthetic
Made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), Sculptra works gradually to replace lost collagen and diffusely rebuild volume in deflated tissue — cheeks, temples, jawline, and even the skin around the lips. Results develop over several months as your body’s collagen regenerates, creating a natural-looking, gradual improvement that keeps you looking like yourself — just younger. A series of 2–3 treatments is typically recommended.
Bellafill®
Bellafill is the only FDA-approved permanent facial filler. It contains polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) microspheres that the body does not absorb, providing a long-lasting scaffold of support. Proven in the only 5-year filler clinical trial, Bellafill is indicated for nasolabial folds and acne scars. Due to its permanent nature, patient selection and physician expertise are critical — Dr. Schroeder conducts a thorough evaluation and skin test prior to treatment.

Facial Fillers for Men & Women
Facial contouring with fillers is an excellent option for both men and women.

Dr. Schroeder’s gender-nuanced approach ensures every patient achieves results that align with their unique anatomy and aesthetic vision.
