Restoring youthful facial volume doesn’t have to mean surgery or a filler that fades within months. DiFrancesco Plastic Surgery is excited to introduce dermaClae, an innovative regenerative treatment coming soon to our Buckhead practice. dermaClae is designed for patients who want to refresh the face and improve the appearance of their skin, with a plan tailored to each patient’s anatomy, skin, and aesthetic goals. Consultations are now available for patients who want to be among the first in Atlanta to experience it.
What Is dermaClae?
dermaClae is the newest addition to the regenerative injectable offerings at DiFrancesco Plastic Surgery. Developed by Tiger Aesthetics as the facial counterpart to alloClae, dermaClae uses processed donor adipose tissue to restore volume the face has lost over time.
Unlike a synthetic filler that simply occupies space in the tissue, dermaClae acts as a scaffold that supports the body’s own collagen production and fat regeneration. Because it works with your natural tissue rather than sitting on top of it, results are designed to look and feel natural and to last longer than traditional hyaluronic acid fillers.
Who Is a Candidate
dermaClae is a strong option for patients who want to restore facial volume without liposuction, incisions, or anesthesia. You may be a candidate if you:
- Have lost facial volume after weight loss, including weight loss from GLP-1 medications.
- Are too lean to have enough fat for a traditional facial fat transfer.
- Want a longer-lasting alternative to hyaluronic acid fillers.
- Would prefer to avoid liposuction or a surgical procedure.
- Want natural-looking results that work with your body’s own tissue.
During your consultation at DiFrancesco Plastic Surgery, Dr. DiFrancesco will evaluate your skin, discuss the areas that concern you, review your medical history, and determine whether dermaClae is appropriate for you.
Treatment Areas
dermaClae is designed to restore volume in key areas of the face, including:
- Cheeks: Restores fullness and lift to the midface.
- Temples: Softens hollowing that can create a tired or aged appearance.
- Under-Eyes: Addresses volume loss beneath the eyes.
- Jawline: Supports definition and structure along the lower face.
How Does dermaClae Treatment Work?
dermaClae is a non-surgical, in-office injectable treatment. Because the material comes from processed donor adipose tissue, there is no liposuction to harvest your own fat, no incision, and no anesthesia.
Once injected, dermaClae provides a supportive framework that encourages your body to build its own collagen and regenerate fat in the treated area. This regenerative approach is what sets dermaClae apart from fillers that sit in the tissue until they break down. Dr. DiFrancesco will map out your treatment based on your facial anatomy, the degree of volume loss, and your goals.
Combination Procedures
dermaClae may be paired with other facial treatments as part of a comprehensive rejuvenation plan. Depending on your goals, Dr. DiFrancesco may discuss combining dermaClae with:
- Botox® to soften expression lines while dermaClae restores volume.
- Infini™ RF Microneedling to improve skin texture and tone.
- Facelift or neck lift surgery for patients who also need to address loose skin.
Dr. DiFrancesco will customize your treatment plan so that each treatment complements the others.
Why Choose dermaClae? The Benefits of a Regenerative Filler
Patients exploring facial volume restoration often compare dermaClae with hyaluronic acid fillers and traditional facial fat transfer. Hyaluronic acid fillers are temporary and gradually break down, and facial fat transfer requires liposuction to harvest your own fat. dermaClae offers a regenerative alternative that needs no fat harvesting and supports your body’s own tissue for longer-lasting, natural-looking results.
Dr. DiFrancesco has worked with alloClae for more than a year and was among the early adopters of this platform in Atlanta. That hands-on experience with donor adipose tissue carries directly into how she plans and performs dermaClae treatments.
Frequently Asked Questions About dermaClae
How is dermaClae different from alloClae?
dermaClae was developed by Tiger Aesthetics as the facial counterpart to alloClae. Both use processed donor adipose tissue, but alloClae is used for body contouring and breast enhancement, while dermaClae is designed for the face.
How is dermaClae different from hyaluronic acid fillers?
Hyaluronic acid fillers add volume by sitting in the tissue until the body gradually breaks them down. dermaClae acts as a scaffold that supports your body’s own collagen production and fat regeneration, so results are designed to last longer and look natural.
Do I need liposuction for dermaClae?
No. dermaClae uses processed donor adipose tissue, so there is no need to harvest fat from your own body. This makes it a good option for leaner patients who may not have enough fat for a facial fat transfer.

dermaClae is coming soon to DiFrancesco Plastic Surgery, and consultations are available now. Scheduling a consultation lets you learn whether you are a candidate and be among the first to receive treatment.
