Dermal Fillers
Healthy
young skin contains collagen that gives it volume, flexibility and strength. As
part of the aging process, your own natural collagen breaks down, diminishing
facial volume. This loss of elasticity and volume results in the wrinkles,
facial lines and skin laxity that rob your skin of its youthful appearance. A
dermal filler injected underneath the skin’s surface works to plump up the lines
around your nose and mouth and fill in where your natural collagen has begun to
deplete.
We offer
Juvederm, Radiesse, and Restylane. Details on each brand are listed below.

Juvederm®
As we age, our
skin changes. Over time, the natural volume of youthful skin begins to diminish
as wrinkles and folds form. But, with
JUVÉDERM®
injectable gel, you don't have to just sit back and let it happen!
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).
With
JUVÉDERM® the
injection process takes only about 15 minutes and results are immediate. Plus,
there’s minimal recovery or downtime. So you can step into your doctor’s office
for treatment and step right back into your life. And now with the newest
formulation of JUVÉDERM®,
the effects of lidocaine take place in seconds, potentially reducing the need
for further anesthetic.

injection into the mid to deep dermis (below the outer layer of skin) for the

folds (the creases running from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your
mouth, aka smile lines or parentheses).
Q: Why does
JUVÉDERM® come in two formulations?
A: JUVÉDERM® injectable gel is available in two formulations to allow your
healthcare professional to tailor treatment to your unique needs. JUVÉDERM®

correcting deeper folds and wrinkles.
Q: What makes
JUVÉDERM® different from other dermal fillers?
A: JUVÉDERM® is the ONLY hyaluronic acid (HA) filler FDA approved to last up to
1 year.* Our unique manufacturing process provides a high concentration of
cross-linked hyaluronic acid for long-lasting results. It also works to create a
smooth consistency gel that flows easily into the skin and provides a smooth,
natural look and feel. All other hyaluronic acid dermal fillers currently on the
market are made of granular consistency gels. And, JUVÉDERM® is the first
hyaluronic acid dermal filler that has demonstrated its safety and effectiveness
in persons of color.
*JUVÉDERM® is
indicated for injection into the mid to deep dermis for correction of moderate
to severe facial wrinkles and folds (such as nasolabial folds).
Q: What is
hyaluronic acid?
A: Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in all mammals that
helps to hydrate and add volume to your skin. In addition to its use as an
aesthetic treatment, hyaluronic acid has also been used for more than 20 years
for injection into arthritic joints to aid movement as well as for eye surgeries
and wound repair.
Q: What is
cross-linked hyaluronic acid?
A: “Uncross-linked” hyaluronic acid in its natural form is in a liquid state.
“Cross-linking” is the process through which hyaluronic acid is made into a gel
product that can be injected into the skin for long-lasting results.
Q: How is
JUVÉDERM® injectable gel used in treatment?
A: Your healthcare provider eases JUVÉDERM® injectable gel into the skin using a
fine needle to temporarily fill in and augment the treatment area and smooth
moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds such as “smile lines” or
“parentheses” (nasolabial folds) and “marionette lines” (oral commissures).
JUVÉDERM® temporarily adds volume to the skin and may give the appearance of a
smoother surface.
Q: What will
treatment with JUVÉDERM® injectable gel accomplish?
A: JUVÉDERM® injectable gel will help to smooth moderate to severe facial
wrinkles and folds. Most patients need one treatment to achieve optimal wrinkle
smoothing. And one treatment could smooth your lines and wrinkles for up to 1
year. Ask your doctor what you should expect from your initial treatment and
when they would recommend rescheduling another appointment.
Q: Is treatment
with JUVÉDERM® injectable gel painful?
A: Injections may cause some discomfort during and after the injection. The
smooth consistency gel of JUVÉDERM® allows your doctor to administer it easily
and smoothly. And, JUVÉDERM® is injected directly into the skin using a fine
needle to reduce injection discomfort. Your doctor may choose to numb
(anesthetize) the treatment area to further minimize discomfort.
Q: How long does
treatment usually take?
A: The injection process takes only about 15 minutes. You'll also need to allow
time to consult with your doctor prior to treatment.
Q: What kind of
doctor can provide treatment with JUVÉDERM® injectable gel?
A: Any authorized healthcare professional can administer JUVÉDERM® injectable
gel.
Q: Does the
correction last forever?
A: No. Correction is temporary; therefore, touch-up injections as well as repeat
injections are usually needed to maintain optimal corrections.
Q: How long do
results last?
A: JUVÉDERM® is the ONLY hyaluronic acid (HA) filler FDA approved to last up to
1 year.* Talk to your healthcare professional about JUVÉDERM® today—so you can

Q: What are the
possible side effects of JUVÉDERM® injectable gel?

lasting (7 days or less). The most common side effects include, but are not
limited to, temporary injections site reactions such as redness,
pain/tenderness, firmness, swelling, lumps/bumps, bruising, itching, and
discoloration. As with all skin injection procedures there is a risk of
infection.
Q: Can people
with different skin tones/colors be treated with JUVÉDERM®?
A: Yes. In fact, JUVÉDERM® injectable gel is the first FDA-approved hyaluronic
acid dermal filler that has proven its safety and effectiveness in persons of
color. Studies with JUVÉDERM® showed no increased risk of hyperpigmentation or
hypertrophic scarring in patients of color.
Radiesse
The
ideal way to achieve wrinkle reduction is by replenishing lost volume. With
RADIESSE® wrinkle filler, you welcome back your own natural collagen to
smooth out the signs of aging. That's because RADIESSE wrinkle filler's unique
formulation stimulates collagenesis – the production of new collagen – which
results in increased volume for natural looking wrinkle correction that may last
a year or more in many patients. It's also why more and more cosmetic surgeons,
estheticians, and other medical professionals are choosing RADIESSE wrinkle
filler for long-lasting facial rejuvenation.
The RADIESSE wrinkle filler difference:
-
Stimulates the body's own natural collagen production
-
Instantly corrects wrinkles
-
Results that may last a year or more in many patients
-
Now
FDA approved to enhance patient comfort1 with lidocaine mixing
In just
one syringe, many patients can achieve long-lasting youthful results. And now
you can ask your doctor about the RADIESSE treatment option that significantly
improves comfort. Because treatment with RADIESSE wrinkle filler is simple,
quick, comfortable and convenient, with immediately visible results that last,
more and more people are discovering that it is the natural choice for
maintaining a more youthful appearance.
Restylane
Restylane is a cosmetic dermal filler that adds volume within the skin. It
consists of hyaluronic acid to replace lost volume and restore youthful contours
to smooth away moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as the lines
from your nose to the corners of your mouth (nasolabial folds). You’ll still
look like yourself – just rejuvenated!
Restylane is the world’s most studied cosmetic dermal filler with more than a
decade of use. Restylane has well-defined safety profiles and is FDA-approved.
Restylane has been used in over 1.4 million treatments in the U.S. and is
available in more than 70 countries, with dozens of studies published in medical
literature.
After
your treatment, you may have some swelling, redness, pain, bruising, ad
tenderness. This will normally last less than seven days.
