Injectable fillers help smooth and remove deep wrinkles and folds in the face. Fillers can augment thin or uneven lips. Results are immediate, and the look is soft and natural. Areas for treatment include nasolabial
folds, cheeks, around the eyes, lips and wrinkles around the mouth. Fillers are used to treat folds and creases on the face caused by loss of volume and hollowing in the skin due to the aging process, effects
of gravity and repetitive facial muscle activity. Our procedures minimize discomfort and our products are the most advanced. Fillers such as Juvéderm® consist of hyaluronic acid gel.
Hyaluronic acid, in its liquid form is prevalent throughout your body and when cross-linked it becomes a gel.
Revanesse Versa is processed to make a very smooth product that gently fills lines and wrinkles. The length of time for wrinkle correction varies. Many people maintain correction at six months, and /or continued to be happy with the level of correction at six months or more.
Juvéderm is processed to make a very smooth product that gently fills lines and wrinkles and enhances lips.
Juvéderm Plus / Ultra may be recommended when extra volume is needed. Results for ultra will last up to 12 months
Juvéderm Volbella with Lidocaine is the latest advancement in the Juvéderm® range of facial fillers, developed specifically for your lips and mouth area. It has been specifically developed as a smooth gel to give
a soft, natural feel. The gel fills in lip lines and wrinkles while the hyaluronic acid within attracts and retains moisture, so results can last up to a year.
Juvéderm VOLUMA® XC Is the first and only FDA-approved injectable gel to restore age-related volume changes and instantly add volume to your cheek area. It can give you contour and a subtle lift for up to two years
with optimal treatment. Unlike other fillers commonly used to treat the midface, Voluma is a hyaluronic acid (HA) filler and almost twice as long as other fillers. Results can last up to 2 years.
