Dermal Fillers

As part of the aging process our skin stretches and loses some of its elasticity and the face loses some of its subcutaneous fat. As a result, the skin looks loose, and we lose the plump skin we had in our youth.

Dermal fillers replace the fat we lose and help to restore the fullness appearance of our face. In addition, fillers serve as a buffer between our facial muscles and our skin. This buffer reduces the impact of the constant muscle movement of the face and fills indentations and lines left in the skin

What until recently could be corrected only by an invesive and expensive surgery can now be corrected by Juvederm and Restylane the two derma filler brands that revolutionized cosmetic surgery since they introduced to the market in the beginning of the millenum.

uvederm & Restylane: Time to results: 1-10 days. Last: 6-9 months.

The most common dermal fillers in the US are manufactured and distributed by a handful of pharmaceutical vendors. The Juvederm line and Kybella are produced and distributed by Allergan and Restylane by Galderma. Other products are Radiesse, Belotero, Prevelle, Artefill, and Sculptra.

Most of these products address the same facial areas such as the Nassolabian lines, vertical upper and lower lip lines, and cheeks. Cost, lasting results, and personal preference are the most common diffenenciate the different products. Also, an experienced injector may prefer one product over another in specific situations.
