Dr. Chaplik has been performing facial filler procedures since the late 90s. He was one of the first physicians to inject the newly FDA-approved, non collagen product, Restylane when it came to market. We use filler to shape the face and restore volume; however, we often apply products to augment or balance certain features and proportions. This is important to consider when the desire is to achieve the goal of a natural, harmoniously symmetric look. Dr. Chaplik works with the patient by carefully listening and recommending techniques that honor the proportions of a face. Using the golden ratio (phi) and the law of thirds allows us to achieve a high level of patient satisfaction and reproducible results.
Dr. Chaplik considers the characteristics of each and every filler that is on the market before carefully selecting the proper filler for each patient goal and area of focus from lips to under eyes. He has also seen many filler complications and has been sought after to correct them. In fact Dr. Chaplik was quoted in an article regarding this topic.
Dr. Chaplik has been performing neuromodulator treatments since their FDA approval for wrinkles in the 90s. Since then, a few more have come to market, and we have accumulated an extensive experience with each and every neuromodulator. At Aesthetix Dermatology of Ft Lauderdale, we use neuromodulators, often referred to as “wrinkle reducers”, to improve, refresh, and rejuvenate just about any candidate. This quick, painless, and highly rewarding procedure is virtually risk free in our experienced hands, yielding the most amazing and natural results.
Shaping and relaxing the face can be accomplished by injecting just about any facial muscle. We can accomplish a youthful rested look, a slimmer face, or a more frozen, yet natural appearance depending on your preference. With an experienced hand, we can adjust the treatment based on your desired outcome. Always keeping the rules of symmetry and proportion in mind, we will produce impressive and natural looking results for you. Our experience gives our patients the confidence to know that we are able to help them look their absolute best.
As we get older, through our 50s, 60s and beyond, our face begins to age in characteristic ways. In the top layers of our skin we lose collagen and elastin and the skin becomes more wrinkled and discolored. The deeper layers of the face which include fat, muscle, and bone also change. These deeper structures are the scaffolding that hold our skin up. When this scaffolding starts to disappear, the skin above it drops and becomes more lax and jowly. Volumizers like Sculptra and Radiesse are types of products which are injected under the skin to plump up and restore some of the scaffolding that is lost.
The two main volumizers that Dr. Chaplik uses are Sculptra and Radiesse. Dr. Chaplik has developed a unique technique over his years in practice in Fort Lauderdale using Sculptra in such a manner as to volumize the face. His technique focuses on restoring the “scaffolding” to mimic and replace the bone and fat lost through the natural aging process with collagen stimulating volume from Poly-L-Lactic Acid, also known as Sculptra. The amazing thing about PLLA is that it stimulates your skin’s natural collagen production and integrates into these supportive tissues, for a natural fill that becomes your own, gradually, over time. This pan facial filling technique leaves no area unaddressed and is a more advanced, yet very rewarding, technique. Similarly, Dr. Chaplik uses Radiesse to shape the jaw, cheeks, and the area between the nose and lips to recreate the signs of beauty and youth.
