As we age the volume of our faces decreases, resulting in a hollow, tired look. It is comparable to a balloon deflating leaving wrinkles and folds. In the past we have tried to correct this aging appearance with facial fillers. Sculptra Aesthetic is a new facial injectable approved by the FDA. It is unique from other facial injectables because of it’s ability to safely replace lost collagen over time. We call this product a “volumizer,”not a filler. Sculptra is made of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a synthetic biodegradable polymer that is both absorbable and biocompatible. This same substance has been used in absorbable sutures in surgical procedures for over twenty years. These small particles of ply-L-lactic acid are rehydrated in a sterile water solution, which allows us to safely inject unique areas of the face which have lost facial fat. The injections are performed over 3 to 4 treatment sessions separated by 6 to 8 weeks.
Sculptra’s ability to stimulate collagen production results in a fuller more volumized face. The results are not a “quick fix”,but gradually improve the lost facial fat and volume over time with each injection session. The results are a natural looking appearance. Studies have shown that results may last up to 24 months. Periodic touch ups will help maintain the new natural appearance of a more youthful face.
In some cases surgical rhinoplasty maybe not necessary to achieve nose refinement. Simple injectable, non-surgical procedure may correct appearance of your nose effortlessly in just minutes. A filler, such as Radiesse can be injected to elevate bridge of the nose, cover up a hump or correct surface imperfections.
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! Recently approved by the FDA, Juvéderm™ injectable gel is a “next-generation” dermal filler. The smooth consistency gel helps 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).?. Developed with safety and longevity in mind, Radiesse is a new generation of injectable filler that features superior versatility for both cosmetic and reconstructive use without surgery.
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 provide a smooth, natural look and feel—so everyone will notice (but no one will know)! In fact, studies show superior results of Juvéderm™ compared to a collagen-based dermal filler.* And, almost 90% of all study volunteers who were treated with both Juvéderm™ injectable gel and another dermal filler* preferred Juvéderm™! In addition, Juvéderm™ injectable gel is the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler that is proven to be safe and effective for persons of color.
JUVEDERM™ dermal filler, a ‘next generation’ hyaluronic acid dermal filler approved by the FDA in June 2006, contains the highest concentration of cross-linked hyaluronic acid of any dermal filler currently available. These attributes provide optimal results with a single treatment of JUVEDERM™ in the majority of patients and deliver sustained results for up to six months or longer.
In addition, JUVEDERM™ dermal filler is the only hyaluronic acid dermal filler developed using a proprietary, technologically advanced manufacturing process that results in a malleable smooth gel that flows easily into the skin, creating a smooth, natural look and feel. All other currently approved hyaluronic acid dermal fillers utilize a gel particle suspension formulation Juvederm is an excellent treatment option for:
Restylane – A natural beauty lift
Impressions of beauty change with time – as do our faces as we age. With RESTYLANE, you can have a natural beauty lift with the body’s own material. RESTYLANE is a crystal-clear, non-animal, biodegradable gel based on a natural substance, called hyaluronic acid. The gel is injected into the skin in tiny amounts with a very fine needle. The result is instantaneous and produces a long-lasting, natural enhancement, gentle and safe to your skin.
Since it was launched in 1996, RESTYLANE has undergone extensive histological and clinical studies with an increasing body of evidence relating to its ease of use, tolerability and effectiveness. Today, more than 1,500,000 treatments have been successfully carried out worldwide.
Restylane is a clear gel plant extract containing hyaluronic acid that is used to fill facial wrinkles, scars and enhance lips. Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally occurring in our body that traps water in the skin. As we age the skin produces less of the acid along with diminished production of collagen and elastin. This results in loss of volume, sagging skin and wrinkles. Restylane can help to temporarily diminish appearance of wrinkles by replenishing the lost volume.
Radiesse is the newest non-surgical facial-contouring filler that delivers an immediate and longer lasting result.
Whether you’re longing to reverse the common signs of aging or address a health issue that would otherwise require invasive treatment, you have more options for looking and feeling better with Radiesse. Developed with safety and longevity in mind, Radiesse is a new generation of injectable filler that features superior versatility for both cosmetic and reconstructive use without surgery. What sets Radiesse apart from other dermal fillers? The answer is in its durability, longevity, and versatility. The unique composition of Radiesse provides the immediate visual improvement common with other fillers, plus the benefit of long-lasting results. This is because Radiesse is made of very tiny smooth calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres. The microspheres (particles) form a scaffold through which your body’s own collagen grows, and this produces the desired long-term effect. These unique advantages make Radiesse the ideal choice for facial shaping and contouring, along with other therapeutic applications.
No matter what procedure you’re considering, Radiesse features unmatched versatility and years of extensive research and testing to prove its safety and effectiveness. Any form of facial contouring with Radiesse is performed as a non-surgical, minimally-invasive out-patient procedure in a physician’s office. Results are immediate and only require a few treatments with long-lasting effects, which means that Radiesse is also cost-effective, thus saving you time and money. And while treatment results may vary, results typically last months longer with Radiesse, as compared to other fillers. Radiesse currently has the following FDA clearances:
