Dermal Fillers

Botox isn’t the only non-invasive weapon against facial lines. Although muscle contractions are the culprit behind forehead wrinkles, it’s another problem entirely that causes volume loss on the lower face. Your cheeks and lips lose some of their fullness as your skin ages and loses hydrating, tissue-boosting substances. Fortunately, another type of cosmetic injection repairs the damage. With dermal fillers, patients can pursue new sources of facial support, and many see a youthful renewal across treated areas of the face.

Facial Fillers Offer Rejuvenation

Your facial structure is supported by more than bone and tissue. Water also plays an important role, especially in the roundness of your cheeks, lips, and lower face. As time passes, you lose some of the natural, hydrating substances that provide a volume boost. This can lead to sagging skin and deep lines. The most noticeable usually occur around the nose and mouth, though vertical lip lines can also cause frustrations.

Juvéderm contains hyaluronan, a biologically compatible complex sugar that actually occurs throughout human cells. Juvéderm’s hyaluronan is synthetic, and is not derived from animal sources. Once Juvéderm is injected, its gel acts as a gentle cushion below the skin, boosting your natural tissues and structures. The hyaluronan also attracts water, increasing hydration in the area.

Juvéderm, a versatile filler that accomplishes a variety of rejuvenating tasks. Juvéderm’s formula employs specialized cross-linking of molecules to create a filler gel that lasts. We inject the Juvéderm so as to achieve subtle reinvigoration of the skin. Juvéderm may be used to supplement the cheeks or lips, reducing parentheses (laugh lines) and lip lines. It is also a potential tool for gentle lip enhancement.

Juvéderm Voluma^®

Juvéderm Voluma is a specially formulated filler designed to boost volume in the cheeks. In the same way that you lose volume in the lower half of the face, the cheeks tend to lose some of their height over time. You don’t have to sit back and watch your facial structure change – for many, Juvéderm Voluma can help. Like standard Juvéderm, Voluma contains hyaluronan. But its formula is designed to provide a subtle, lasting cheek lift. Treatment results may remain in place for up to two years.

Restylane^®

Restylane provides a wider range of fillers to our patients. We are thrilled to be able to present patients with this long-lasting option for laugh lines, frown lines and other areas of facial volume loss.
