The
trend today is a less invasive approach to maintaining a happy,
youthful appearance. Fewer complete face lifts are performed
and are occurring later in life. We see an emphasis placed
on building and maintaining the right structure to support
the skin as it ages. There are many techniques used but the
most common is the use of Dermal Fillers. New products are
coming into the market each year and we research each carefully.
We recommend and use Juvederm Ultra, Juvederm Ultra Plus, Radiesse,
and Restylane injectable fillers. Why all three? Each filler
has a different consistency and works in specific way. Restoring
volume is an art and a science. Our staff is experienced at
defining which filler should be used in facial lines and folds
as well as lips.
These products are made sterilely in the laboratory and do not contain any human or animal products. Allergic reactions to the older collagen products are avoided; thus skin testing in no longer needed. These products last longer than the collagen: Restylane lasts 6-9 months, Radiesse lasts 12-18 months and Juvederm lasts 9 to12 months or more.
