Dermal Fillers

We use dermal fillers to inject immediate volume below the skin’s surface to visibly reverse volume loss. Volume loss is one of the hallmark signs of aging. It contributes to the appearance and formation of hollow areas, loose skin, facial folds, creases, and wrinkles, typically on the lower and middle half of the face.

We can use our cosmetic injectables to reverse volume loss in a way that topical products simply cannot. In the hands of an experienced injector the results should look natural and can last 1-2 years.

Patients who begin a treatment plan with one of our anti-aging injectables can expect immediate and long-lasting results. The treatment process is quick and comfortable, and there’s no social downtime. After it’s over, you’ll see a visible improvement in the appearance of your treatment areas and can resume your normal daily activities. Other treatment benefits include the following:

• Reduced appearance of lines, creases, facial folds, hollow areas, and wrinkles
• Long-lasting results
• Smoother skin
• Voluminous skin
• A natural and youthful appearance

There’s often minimal social downtime. Post treatment you’ll see instant results in addition to some typical side effects of mild swelling, redness and possible bruising. You can resume most daily activities but should avoid strenuous exercise, hot or sweaty activities, wearing foundation or touching the treatment area for 24 hours.

The JUVÉDERM Collection is a line of dermal fillers made by the same company that created BOTOX. This collection has become the number one dermal filler collection in the United States and includes several fillers that can add volume to different areas of the face.

We can use these fillers to treat the lips, cheeks, chin, and lower and middle half of the face. All of these fillers are formulated with specific-sized HA particles, and all of them contain lidocaine, which ensures a comfortable treatment experience.

JUVÉDERM VOLUMA XC 

JUVÉDERM VOLUMA XC is designed to restore volume to the cheeks, which can flatten as you age, causing the skin to sag. Skin laxity of the cheeks is one of the most common signs of aging resulting from decreased volume in the area, also known as age-related mid-facial volume loss.

JUVÉDERM VOLUMA XC restores natural-looking volume below the skin’s surface to lift and contour the cheeks for up to two years post-treatment. We can also use this filler to improve the appearance of the chin profile and improve facial aesthetics for up to one-year.

JUVÉDERM VOLLURE XC 

JUVÉDERM VOLLURE XC is a dermal filler that we can use to smooth facial wrinkles on the lower and middle half of the face, including smile and laugh lines. This filler can smooth lines around the mouth for up to 18 months. Whether you want to treat nasolabial folds, marionette lines, or mild, moderate, or deep lines around the nose and mouth, we can use it to help you achieve smoother skin.

JUVÉDERM ULTRA PLUS XC 

JUVÉDERM ULTRA PLUS XC is specifically formulated for patients with moderate to severe facial lines, wrinkles, creases, and folds. It can smooth the deepest lines that form around the nose and mouth. Patients with more advanced signs of aging who need a dermal filler with a thicker formula to achieve their goals can benefit from treatment with JUVÉDERM ULTRA PLUS XC.

JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA XC

JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA XC is a filler specifically formulated for lip augmentation. It can also treat decreased volume around the mouth and correct perioral lines, also known as vertical lip lines, lip wrinkles, and lipstick lines. Results can last up to one year after an initial treatment.

JUVÉDERM ULTRA XC

JUVÉDERM ULTRA XC is a filler that we can use to add fullness to the lips to correct age-related volume loss or help patients achieve fuller lips. Results can last up to one year.

Restylane® Refyne

As time passes, our skin begins to lose elasticity the older we grow. This can result in age lines that are found from the corners of the mouth to the sides of the nose, more commonly referred to as nasolabial folds. Some people may also experience marionette lines, which are wrinkles that run from the corner of the mouth toward the chin. Using hyaluronic acid, Restylane® Refyne helps correct the appearance of nasolabial folds as well as marionette lines to help you look youthful and smooth.

Restylane® Defyne

For those experiencing more severe nasolabial folds and marionette lines, Restylane® Defyne is an ideal formula specifically designed to correct deepened wrinkles and age lines. Restylane® Defyne is also designed to help keep your facial movements intact so you can still create your natural expressions.

Restylane® Lyft

With age, the body will lose subcutaneous fat in the face, causing the cheeks to sag as they gradually lose volume. If you’re searching for a cheek augmentation, Restylane® Lyft is especially designed to correct a loss of volume in the midface, replenishing the cheeks to help you look younger and refreshed. Restylane® Lyft can also help correct nasolabial folds and marionette lines in addition to restoring the cheeks.

Radiesse is a dermal filler composed of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in an aqueous gel carrier. It is primarily used for facial contouring and wrinkle reduction, providing both immediate and long-term results.

Composition and Mechanism

Radiesse is distinct from other dermal fillers due to its unique composition. The CaHA microspheres act as a scaffold under the skin, stimulating the body’s natural collagen production. Over time, the gel is absorbed, and the CaHA microspheres degrade naturally, leaving behind the newly formed collagen.

Key Benefits

1. Immediate Results:

   • Radiesse provides instant volume and correction to wrinkles and folds, giving a rejuvenated appearance immediately after the treatment.

2. Long-Lasting Effects:

   • The results of Radiesse can last up to a year or more, as the CaHA microspheres stimulate natural collagen production, providing extended benefits compared to other fillers.

3. Natural-Looking Enhancement:

   • The stimulation of collagen production helps in achieving a more natural and youthful look, as it enhances the skin’s own structure and support.

4. Versatility:

   • Radiesse is used to treat various areas, including nasolabial folds, marionette lines, cheeks, chin, and hands. It is versatile and effective for both facial contouring and volumizing.

5. Biocompatibility and Safety:

   • Composed of materials naturally found in the body, Radiesse is biocompatible and has a low risk of allergic reactions or adverse effects.

6. Minimal Downtime:

   • Treatments with Radiesse typically involve minimal downtime, allowing patients to resume their daily activities shortly after the procedure.

7. Boost in Collagen Production:

   • One of the significant advantages of Radiesse is its ability to stimulate the body’s own collagen production, enhancing skin texture and firmness over time.

Ideal Candidates

Radiesse is suitable for individuals looking to address moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, as well as those seeking to enhance facial contours and restore lost volume. It is particularly beneficial for those desiring long-lasting results with a natural look.

Hyperdilute Radiesse is a modified formulation of the traditional Radiesse dermal filler, designed to provide a more subtle, widespread rejuvenation effect. By diluting Radiesse with a saline solution and sometimes lidocaine (a local anesthetic), this version is used primarily for skin tightening, improving skin texture, and addressing mild to moderate volume loss in larger areas of the body.

Key Features of Hyperdilute Radiesse

• Composition: Like traditional Radiesse, Hyperdilute Radiesse contains calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. However, it is diluted with saline and, in some cases, lidocaine to allow for easier spreading and smoother application over larger areas.

• Mechanism of Action: The diluted formulation still stimulates collagen production, but its effects are more diffuse, providing overall skin tightening and improved texture. The CaHA microspheres act as a scaffold, promoting new collagen formation as the gel is absorbed and the microspheres gradually break down.

Applications of Hyperdilute Radiesse

• Neck and Décolletage: Used to improve the appearance of crepey skin, fine lines, and wrinkles in the neck and chest area, providing a smoother, more youthful look.

• Arms and Hands: Applied to the upper arms and hands to address skin laxity, improve texture, and restore volume, reducing the appearance of veins and tendons.

• Buttocks and Thighs: Used for overall skin tightening and improvement of skin quality, addressing issues like cellulite and mild volume loss.

• Face: While traditional Radiesse is used for targeted volumizing, Hyperdilute Radiesse can be used for overall skin rejuvenation, improving elasticity, and reducing fine lines.

Benefits of Hyperdilute Radiesse

• Subtle and Natural-Looking Results: Provides a more gradual and natural enhancement, improving skin quality without the pronounced volumizing effect of traditional fillers.
• Collagen Stimulation: Promotes the body’s natural collagen production, leading to long-lasting improvements in skin texture and firmness.
• Versatility: Effective for treating larger areas of the body, making it a versatile option for overall skin rejuvenation.
• Minimal Downtime: The procedure typically involves minimal discomfort and downtime, allowing patients to resume their normal activities soon after treatment.

Ideal Candidates

Hyperdilute Radiesse is suitable for individuals looking to improve skin texture, tighten loose or crepey skin, and achieve a more youthful appearance in larger areas of the body. It is particularly beneficial for those who want subtle, natural-looking results and long-term skin quality improvements.

Sculptra is a collagen-stimulating filler that contains an active ingredient that stimulates natural collagen production at the injection site. Patients can schedule Sculptra treatments to naturally stimulate their own collagen to smooth lines around the mouth, like marionette lines and chin wrinkles, and reverse volume loss. Results appear within the first few months and can last two years or longer.

The RHA Collection is an innovative line of injectables that can restore lost volume and treat dynamic wrinkles during a single injection.

The results can last up to 15 months for each filler.

RHA 2
