Dermal Fillers – Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm

If you have lines, wrinkles, or sagging skin that make you look tired, angry, or older than you feel, dermal fillers can help you look more rested, youthful, and rejuvenated. Sometimes called facial fillers, cosmetic fillers, and injectables, these anti-aging injections “plump” areas of the face and neck that have lost volume and elasticity during the aging process. The result is a smoother, firmer, younger look.

How Do Dermal Fillers Work?

As we age, we produce less hyaluronic acid, and this results in the wrinkles, folds, and sagging skin you begin to see as you get older. These dermal fillers can restore volume to wrinkles and folds. Because your body already produces hyaluronic acid, these injections are very safe, and no allergy test is necessary.

• Restylane is a clear gel made up of hyaluronic acid, a substance that naturally occurs in your body.
• Juvederm is a smooth gel made up of hyaluronic acid
• Juvederm Ultra Plus is a still thicker version of Juvederm.

Lasting results make all the difference when investing in self esteem.

A Typical Restylane or Juvederm Treatment

The injections include Lidocaine, which numbs the treatment area so that you will feel more comfortable when the very fine needle is inserted. For patients that are allergic to lidocaine there are lidocaine free alternatives

You can expect your appointment to last about 30 minutes.

Recovering from Restylane or Juvederm Injections

Minimal downtime is required after dermal fillers, but you may experience some swelling, itching, bruising, and redness at the needle insertion points. These symptoms are usually gone within 7-10 days, sometimes sooner. If you experience any discoloration, feel free to cover it with makeup.

Results of Dermal Fillers

You will see gradual improvement after your injections over a period of weeks.They are all hyaluronic acid. Restylane injections last for about six months. In clinical studies, a second set of injections has lasted for as long as another 18 months.

Juvederm injections generally last for 6 months to a year.

It’s important to note, however, that individual results vary. While the results of dermal fillers are not permanent, neither are haircuts or even surgical facelifts. Fillers provide a more rested, more youthful, and natural look.

Dermal Fillers and BOTOX

Dermal Fillers can often be used in conjunction with BOTOX® injections to improve different types of lines and wrinkles. BOTOX treats wrinkles that are caused by repeated facial expressions, blocking the muscle contractions that cause the wrinkle. Dermal fillers add volume back to aging facial tissue. Together, you can target virtually all wrinkles for a natural but younger appearance.
