Fillers

What can Facial Fillers do for you?

Facial Fillers help to minimize the aging process by providing temporary to long-lasting beautiful effects including: restoring facial volume, minimizing wrinkles, and lessening creases along the mouth area to name a few.

Injectables are a great solution for the busy person who wants to restore youthfulness to the face and experience minimal downtime.

Popular Facial Fillers:

Restylane®: Restylane® is a commonly used filler that addresses lines and folds of the face. As we age, we tend to see these lines form around our nose and mouth. Your doctor may use Restylane® to restore prominent folds along the mouth area to a more youthful appearance

Juvederm®: Juvederm® is a smooth consistency gel used to address folds along the mouth area. Your doctor may place this gel underneath the skin to instantly restore your skin's volume and reduce the appearance of folds and wrinkles

Radiesse®: Radiesse is another filler used to restore natural contours to your face. Typically only requiring one treatment, Radiesse® is a cost-effective way to see immediate, soft-looking results. Your doctor will discuss with you the best areas for treatment, so you can get the most out of your visit

Sculptra®: Sculptra® is a filler used to treat loss of fat beneath the skin. A loss in fat can result in indentation, hollow eyes and sunken cheeks. Your doctor may use Sculptra® underneath your skin to replace lost volume. It also improves thickness in the skin which creates a more natural appearance.

Your procedure will last around 15 to 20 minutes depending on the amount of areas treated. There may be some initial side effects, as with any medical procedure, including temporary bruising at the injection site, numbness, redness, swelling, and possible pain or tenderness. Your doctor may advise you to massage some of the areas where the filler was applied, so make sure to ask if this is necessary, and if so how often you should massage the site.

Patients can usually return to work and their normal activities right after their treatment, but it is a good idea to follow your doctor’s instructions and limit any strenuous activities and to avoid sun or heat exposure immediately following your procedure.

Most injectable procedures will last a few months to a year depending on the product. Consult with your doctor to ensure you return in the right time interval for follow-up and any additional treatments to make certain you achieve the best aesthetic outcome possible.
