As we age, many of us will find that we are losing that soft, supple shape to our facial features. This occurs due to loss of collagen and fat under our skin which leads to wrinkles and folds. You can soften the appearance of these areas with the use of dermal fillers such as Juvederm™ Ultra, Juvederm™ Ultra Plus and Radiesse®.
These substances are made up of hyaluronic acid, a non-animal based substance that occurs naturally in the human body and can provide volume and fullness to facial wrinkles and folds by binding with the water in your skin.
Dermal fillers can also be used to enhance and add to the fullness of your lips, fill scars such as those due to acne, and when used in the deeper skin layers, can even restructure certain aspects of the facial anatomy.
Dermal fillers are injected with a tiny needle directly into the wrinkle or fold. Over time, they will be naturally reabsorbed, but we have seen results lasting 6 to 9 months.
Fortunately, there is little to no down time with this procedure and the results are immediate. As always, all of your injections will be done by one of our highly skilled and knowledgeable physicians.
Juvederm
Juvéderm® is a smooth consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid—a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration. Your healthcare professional eases Juvéderm® injectable gel under the skin to instantly restore your skin's volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and folds, like your “smile lines” or “parentheses” (nasolabial folds—the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth).
Radiesse® is a safe alternative to collagen and other leading dermal fillers that provides both immediate and long-lasting correction of wrinkles and folds.
Radiesse stimulates the body to produce new collagen and not only fills in wrinkles, but provides facial volume for a natural look that lasts. The unique Radiesse composition may result in fewer office visits for retreatments, after taking effect, the Radiesse microspheres are safely and naturally absorbed by the body.
Most patients will experience correction of their wrinkles for over 1 year, and with appropriate touch-up applications, results can last up to 18 months!
Artefill
Artefill is a dual-acting wrinkle filler. The secret is in its patented microsphere enhanced collagen. First, the collagen in Artefill visibly corrects the wrinkles. Then the microspheres provide the support your skin needs for long-lasting, natural feeling wrinkle correction. The unique microspheres within Artefill are not absorbed by the body and provides long-lasting results. Recent studies show 90% of patients maintain their correction up to 5 years.
