While surgical procedures in general "lift" sagging tissues, injectables "fill" and add volume to the face in areas depleted of volume. They fill lines and plump depressed or deficient areas of the face. Facial rejuvenation without having to go the operating room, what could be better?
RESTYLANE® / JUVEDERM®:
Hyaluronic acid base fillers used to improve the appearance of deep folds and areas of volume loss, including by not limited to, the cheeks and lips. Hyaluronic acid is a natural occurring substance in your skin that helps provide fullness and elasticity.
RADIESSE®:
Consists of calcium droxylapatite microspheres, similar to the composition of teeth and bones. Radiesse is a filler that stimulates collagenesis - the production of new collagen – for the correction of deep folds and areas of volume loss. Correction may last a year or more, individual results may vary.
ARTEFILL®:
If you've used temporary dermal fillers in the past, then you know that they are eventually absorbed by your body and require frequent repeat injections to maintain the results you've come to love. Artefill is different. The first and only FDA –approved non-resorbable aesthetic injectable implant for the correction of facial wrinkles. The unique microspheres within Artefill are not absorbed by the body and provides the support your skin needs for natural, long-lasting results.
BOTOX® & DYSPORT®:
A purified protein that relaxes the muscles by blocking the nerve impulses, visibly reducing the appearance of wrinkles. A typical treatment takes about 10-15 minutes and consists of a few tiny injections. Results are typically seen within 2-10 days and last up to 3-4 months.
