Facial Allograft Adipose Filler
DermaClae is the next evolution in regenerative aesthetics: an advanced, off-the-shelf injectable derived from purified donor adipose tissue, engineered with a smaller particle size specifically suited for the face. As a sister product to alloClae, DermaClae brings the same structural, longer-lasting principles of allograft fat to the delicate contours of the face — restoring volume, refining definition, and softening the visible signs of facial aging without the temporary nature of traditional hyaluronic acid fillers.
At LUXURGERY in NYC, Dr. Sachin Shridharani offers DermaClae as part of a curated approach to facial rejuvenation, integrating the latest in regenerative biologics with the artistry of board-certified plastic surgery.
What Is DermaClae?
DermaClae is an injectable allograft adipose matrix sourced from carefully screened human donor tissue and processed to a refined particle size optimized for facial application. Once injected, DermaClae integrates with the surrounding tissues — providing immediate volumization while supporting the body's own regenerative pathways.
Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, which dissolve over months, DermaClae is designed to deliver durable, naturally-integrated volume. Unlike fat transfer, it requires no harvest, no liposuction, and no donor site — the tissue is ready to use, in-office, in a single appointment.
Why Patients Choose DermaClae
- Natural-Looking, Natural-Feeling Results. DermaClae is composed of the same biological building blocks as your own fat, allowing it to integrate into facial tissues for a soft, natural appearance and feel.
- Designed for the Face. The smaller, refined particle size makes DermaClae ideal for the nuanced topography of the face — temples, cheeks, jawline, perioral region, and other delicate areas where precision matters.
- Long-Lasting, Not DermaClae is engineered to provide volume that endures far longer than hyaluronic acid fillers, while maintaining the softness and adaptability of the body's own tissue.
- Minimally Invasive. Performed in-office under local anesthesia, with no incisions, no donor site, and minimal downtime.
- Off-the-Shelf Convenience. Because DermaClae is processed from carefully screened donor tissue, no fat harvest is required — making it possible to achieve volume restoration in patients who do not have available donor fat or who wish to avoid liposuction.
Where DermaClae Can Be Used
DermaClae's smaller particle size makes it especially well-suited for the face. Common treatment areas include:
- Temple hollows
- Cheek and midface volume loss
- Tear trough and infraorbital region
- Jawline definition and pre-jowl sulcus
- Perioral lines and corners of the mouth
- Chin projection and contour
- Lateral face and pre-auricular hollows
- Correction of fine surface irregularities or contour deficits
During your consultation, Dr. Shridharani will perform a full facial assessment to determine whether DermaClae alone, or in combination with other treatments, will best achieve your goals.
How DermaClae Compares
The DermaClae Treatment Experience
1. Consultation with Dr. Shridharani
Your DermaClae journey begins with a private consultation at LUXURGERY's NYC practice. Dr. Shridharani will review your aesthetic goals, examine the areas you wish to address, evaluate your overall facial proportions, and determine whether DermaClae is the right approach for you.
2. The Procedure
DermaClae is administered in-office, typically with local anesthesia or topical numbing. Using ultra-fine cannulas or needles, Dr. Shridharani precisely places DermaClae into the targeted facial areas. Most treatments are completed in under an hour.
3. Immediately After Treatment
You may notice swelling, mild firmness, tenderness, or temporary asymmetry in the treated areas. These findings are normal and expected. Most patients return to social activities within a day or two.
4. Recovery
Mild swelling and possible bruising can last several days to two weeks, gradually resolving as your body adapts. Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activity for the first 48 hours and to follow Dr. Shridharani's post-treatment guidance, which may include topical care and gentle activity.
5. Results
Volume restoration is visible immediately, with results continuing to refine over the following weeks as swelling resolves and the tissue settles. Final aesthetic results are typically appreciated at approximately four to six weeks, with longevity that significantly exceeds traditional hyaluronic acid fillers.
Is DermaClae Right for You?
DermaClae may be a strong option if you:
- Are seeking long-lasting facial volume restoration without permanent implants
- Want to avoid the limitations of traditional hyaluronic acid fillers
- Prefer not to undergo liposuction for fat harvest
- Are experiencing facial volume loss from aging, weight changes, or genetics
- Desire a natural, integrated result that feels like your own tissue
DermaClae may not be appropriate for patients with active infection, certain autoimmune conditions, allergies to components of the product, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Your candidacy will be carefully evaluated during consultation.
Safety & Considerations
DermaClae is derived from rigorously screened human donor tissue and processed under strict tissue-banking standards. As with any injectable, temporary side effects can include swelling, bruising, tenderness, redness, or mild firmness in the treated area. Less common risks may include asymmetry, palpable nodules, or contour irregularities, which can typically be addressed with follow-up care. Dr. Shridharani will review the full safety profile and answer any questions during your consultation.
Pricing
The cost of DermaClae varies based on the number of areas treated, the volume required, and the complexity of your individualized plan. Following your consultation, our administrative team will provide a detailed cost overview before any treatment is scheduled — with full transparency, and no obligation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does DermaClae last?
DermaClae is designed to provide long-lasting volume that significantly outlasts traditional hyaluronic acid fillers. Individual longevity varies based on treatment area, volume placed, and personal factors.
How is DermaClae different from alloClae?
Both are allograft adipose matrices from the same family of regenerative biologics. AlloClae uses a larger, structural particle size suited to the body. DermaClae's refined particle size is purpose-built for the face, where precision and finesse are essential.
Is DermaClae the same as a fat transfer?
No. A traditional fat transfer harvests fat from your own body via liposuction. DermaClae is an off-the-shelf allograft — no harvest required.
Will I look natural?
Yes. Because DermaClae integrates with your own facial tissues, results look and feel natural, without the "overfilled" appearance sometimes associated with synthetic fillers.
Is there downtime?
Most patients experience mild swelling and possible bruising for several days. Many return to social activities within a day or two and full activity within several days.
How soon will I see results?
Volume restoration is visible immediately, with continued refinement over four to six weeks as the tissue settles and integrates.
