Natural Filler in Minneapolis – St. Paul

At Rocheford Plastic Surgery, we offer natural filler treatments to restore volume and refresh your appearance without synthetic products. This advanced approach uses your body’s healing properties to enhance skin quality, smooth lines, and improve contours. Because the filler is derived from your own system, it provides a safe, natural way to rejuvenate your appearance. 

What are Natural Fillers?

Natural fillers are created from a concentrated component found within your own blood that is processed and prepared for cosmetic use. When injected into targeted areas on the face, this filler stimulates collagen production and natural tissue regeneration. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which rely on hyaluronic acid or other materials, natural fillers rely solely on your body’s own ability to restore and maintain volume. This makes the treatment an ideal option for patients seeking a natural approach to facial rejuvenation. 

What is a “natural filler”? It is part of your blood, so it is a component of the platelet-rich plasma treatment. Once the blood is drawn, we do not add anything except a small amount of anticoagulant to prevent the blood from clotting. From there, we can heat and cool the blood, which changes its consistency from liquid to gel, thereby creating a natural filler specific to you. Because it is autologous to you, there are no delayed-onset reactions and minimal complications associated with this product. 

Synthetic fillers have been around for a long time, and we only use FDA-approved products in our office. Traditional fillers are composed of low- and high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid particles. This creates a gel that can come in different thicknesses. All hyaluronic acid fillers are made of non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid.

“There are not that many women surgeons in the Twin Cities. I felt Dr. Rocheford listened to what I wanted to achieve, didn’t push other procedures and was realistic about expected outcomes. I am so happy with the results, well placed stitch line and natural looking outcome. The aftercare nurse Jenny was spectacular. I felt well cared for and she was available whenever I had a question. If I decide to do another procedure I will definitely go back to Dr. Rocheford.”

Benefits of Natural Fillers

Natural fillers offer a range of benefits in addition to volume restoration. Patients often notice an improvement in overall skin tone and texture, with fewer fine lines and a more radiant complexion. Because the filler is sourced from your own body, there is no risk of allergic reaction. Results also tend to develop gradually, giving a refreshed and subtle transformation that enhances your natural features rather than altering them. 

Due to the regenerative effects of natural filler, it is best to undergo treatments in a series, one every month for at least three months. During those treatments, the natural filler can be placed, and then your provider will also inject you with the liquid form of platelet-rich plasma to maximize regenerative capacity. The natural filler does just that, it fills, but it does not create as many regenerative properties due to the heating and cooling of the product. It is best when the natural filler is applied, followed by the injection of liquid platelet-rich plasma into the same areas for maximal, longer-lasting results.

Who is a Candidate for Natural Fillers?

Ideal candidates for natural fillers are patients looking for a non-synthetic option to restore facial volume and improve skin quality. This treatment is beneficial for individuals experiencing early signs of aging such as fine lines, mild volume loss, or dull skin tone. During your consultation, Dr. Rocheford will assess your skin condition and aesthetic goals to determine whether natural fillers are the best option for your needs. 

Candidates for natural filler are people who do not want synthetic products injected, patients with lidocaine allergies, or people wanting more gradual, natural results. There is minimal risk, as it is autologous (derived from your own body). Swelling and bruising may occur; in fact, we encourage this as it is the body’s natural way of stimulating growth.
