Juvéderm®

Deep wrinkles and furrows may be a part of aging, but they don't have to be permanent. Dermal fillers such as Juvederm Injectable Gel are a quick and easy solution. They work to erase these lines and restore a younger, more refreshed appearance.
Juvéderm is a safe, FDA-approved formula that lasts up to one year. It contains lidocaine, a local anesthetic, to minimize the mild discomfort that is sometimes associated with receiving an injection. The injection of hyaluronic acid-a naturally occurring substance in the skin that adds volume and hydration-is administered directly to targeted areas to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and folds while also smoothing the skin. It is an effective technique for restoring a youthful plumpness to the skin.

Voluma™

Voluma™ is a new,  FDA-approved dermal filler formulated specifically to add volume to the face around  the cheeks and chin. This is the only injectable gel created to provide a  subtle, natural enhancement to the mid-face, addressing changes in definition  that occur over time. Voluma can help restore more youthful contours  by plumping up the area that so often loses volume as part of the aging  process. It can also return a firmer shape to the jaw line when some softening has  set in.

Voluma is not only an effective treatment method,  but it is long lasting as well. In many patients, the results will last for a  period of up to 18 months.

The active ingredient in Voluma is hyaluronic acid (HA),  which is a substance naturally produced within the skin. As we get older, the  levels of HA present in the skin begin to decline, resulting in a loss of  volume and sunken or sagging cheeks. Voluma integrates into the  existing collagen and elastin in the skin tissue to offer greater support and  elasticity. This can provide a noticeable smoothing and firming to the skin and  lend the facial structure more substantial definition.

Voluma is the latest in the Juvederm line of dermal  fillers.  These various formulas have a  successful history of reducing the appearance of wrinkles and folds in the skin  and rejuvenating the face.

Candidates For Voluma Treatment

Adults of any age who notice changes to their mid-face or at  the chin or jaw line may be considered good candidates for treatment with  Voluma. Typical early signs of aging may include a visible decrease in  volume, a sagging of the cheeks or the loss of noticeable contour around the  chin. While these are more commonly problems that people face as they age,  younger men and women may experience them as well due to weight loss, heredity  or a number of other factors.

Belotero®

Belotero® is the latest, most advanced form of dermal filler available today. It has a unique ability to integrate with the tissues of your skin, providing volume and a more youthful shape to your face. Belotero can reduce lines and wrinkles while enhancing your own facial contours.

As we get older, our skin's production of the substances that keep it moisturized and supple begins to slow, resulting in an increase in wrinkles and lines. But Belotero is a dermal filler that incorporates one of these natural substances, hyaluronic acid (HA), to help you achieve smoother, more youthful looking skin once again.

In clinical studies of Belotero, 97 percent of patients showed a visible improvement after a single treatment. Belotero can eliminate even the finest of lines. Belotero injections plump the skin subtly and evenly so patients appear relaxed and refreshed without looking like they have a noticeable implant.

There are different formulations of Belotero available, making it ideal to improve a wide variety of skin issues. This filler can treat frown lines between the eyebrows, periorbital lines (crow's feet), nasolabial folds from the nose to the corners of the mouth, perioral lines and marionette lines from the corners of the mouth to the jaw. In addition, it can round the cheekbones, plump the lips, restore softness to the hands and décolletage and more.

The quick and nearly painless procedure typically takes 20 minutes and most people can return to work immediately afterward. The results of Belotero treatment are not permanent and vary by individual. For most patients, the effects are still visible nine months after an injection. Follow-up treatments are typically done every six to 12 months.

Restylane®

When we are young our skin is smooth and elastic with a healthy glow. As we age, our ability to maintain that smoothness and elasticity diminishes, resulting in skin that becomes drier, thinner and less able to replenish itself. Our body's natural collagen and hyaluronic acid levels decrease and our skin becomes looser. This leads to our skin wrinkling and appearing older than it should.

Approved by the FDA, Restylane is designed to match your skin, smoothing wrinkles, sculpting lips or shaping facial contours. With its unique ability to bind with water, Restylane is able to perform for many months in your skin. The most common areas for a Restylane treatment are the glabellar lines (between the eyebrows) and the nasolabial folds (from the root of the nose to the angle of your mouth). When used for lips or facial contouring, Restylane will add shape and volume to the area. Restylane is able to create volume under your wrinkles, which are then lifted up and smoothed out.
