You'll Smile When You See The Results

The collagen in your skin is a natural protein that provides structural support throughout the body’s skin, muscles, tendons and bone. The texture, resiliency, and shape of your skin is directly related to this underlying support. Unfortunately, through sun and aging, this support system breaks down collagen, and the result are seen in facial lines and furrows. The appearance of deeper lines, furrows and soft acne scars are treatable through the use of dermal fillers to fill unwanted lines and depressions.

We feature four distinct treaments, Juvederm™, Radiesse, Restylane®, and Perlane®, to meet your individual needs.

Typical areas of treatment are:

• Smile-lines

• Marionette lines

• Vertical lines of the upper and lower lip

• Lip enhancement

• Deep brow furrows

• Scars caused by acne or other insults

When small amounts of filler material are injected into wrinkled areas, depressions can be raised to the level of surrounding skin. Facial lines are minimized, texture is improved and as a result your face has a softer, more youthful appearance. Dermal Filler augmentations are non-surgical and non-invasive procedures, each of the fillers below do not require a skin test and there is no potential for allergy.

To determine if you’re a candidate for treatment, schedule a Cosmetic Consult with our dermatologist or one of our registered nurses.

Juvederm™

Juvéderm™ is the “next-generation” smooth consistency gel dermal filler. It is a colorless injectable gel made of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring sugar found in the human body. The role of hyaluronic acid in the skin is to deliver nutrients, hydrate the skin by holding in water, and acts as a cushioning agent. Juvéderm™ comes in two formulations- Juvéderm™ Ultra and Juvéderm™ Ultra Plus and is indicated for injection into the mid- to deep dermis (below the outer layer of skin) for the correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds or lip augmentation. Follow-up treatments can be performed every 4-6 months.

Radiesse

Radiesse is unlike any other treatment. It is a completely synthetic compound comprised of microspheres of calcium hydroxylapatite, combined with a water based gel. Calcium hydroxylapatite is a natural substance already in the body, so Radiesse causes no allergic reactions or inflammation. It rebuilds your skins foundation and restores your youthful look, without the risks associated with permanent implants. In fact, the basic element in Radiesse has been safetly used by the medical profession for more than 25 years. When injected, the cream-like texture of Radiesse feels soft and natural. Unlike products that lose their effectiveness within a few months, Radiesse provides up to a year or longer of rejuvenation with intermittent touch ups. It is gradually replaced by the body’s own collagen and slowly dissolves away over time. As Radiesse is gently injected, it builds up the tissues of the face, reduces folds and creases restoring fullness. Any minor swelling from the injection typically disappears within 48 hours. You can comfortably return to normal activities after your treatment. Best of all, you’ll see immediate results.

Restylane®

Restylane is a popular natural FDA approved filler which provides immediate natural and appealing improvement to facial lines, furrows and can be used to add volume to lips. Restylane is a crystal-clear, non-animal, biodegradable gel based on a natural substance, called hyaluronic acid (present in all living organisms). Follow-up treatments can be performed every 4-6 months.

Perlane®

Perlane®, like Restylane®, is a dermal filler and is a long-lasting gel that, once injected into the skin with an ultrafine needle, lifts and adds volume and helps diminish fine lines. The difference between Restylane® and Perlane® is the size of the particle (with Perlane® containing more hyaluronic acid). Perlane® is an excellent treatment for wrinkle correction, lip enhancement, smile lines and deep folds. Follow-up treatments can be performed every six to nine months.
