Injectable and Implantable Fillers
Collagen injections are a safe, effective, time-tested, non-surgical wrinkle treatment that provides immediate results. The ten areas most frequently treated with collagen are: frown lines between the eyes, acne scars, cheek depressions, smoker's lines around the mouth, marionette lines at the ends of the mouth worry lines in the forehead, crow's feet at the eyes, deep smile lines, dimples, and facial scars.
Radiesse® skin correction and enhancement is a fast and effective procedure. Depending on how many areas are being treated, the procedure could take just 15 minutes. Other filler materials are absorbed by the body, so the treated area has to be slightly overfilled. There is less absorbtion with Radiesse® so the results are immediate, and long-lasting. You may choose to have a touch-up - but you wont be back every 3 to 6 months.
Radiesse® can last as long as 2 years. Two injections (treatments) are recommended. The 1st treatment lays the foundation for your body to start building collagen upon. The 2nd treatment (approximately 6 weeks later) replaces the gel carrier that is absorbed, this gives the product its longevity.
Short-term treatment is pain-free. Local numbing is used for patient comfort. Usually little to no bruising or swelling occurs.
Restylane® is a cosmetic dermal filler made of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that already exists in the human body. The hyaluronic acid in Restylane® is a crystal-clear gel called NASHA™ or Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid. It is a safe and natural cosmetic dermal filler that restores volume and fullness to the skin to correct facial wrinkles.
Botox® Cosmetic is a very mild version of the Botox® that has been used for many years. It is frequently used to decrease the appearance of frown lines and crow's feet. The procedure is very short and no anesthetic is needed. Botox® Cosmetic is administered using an ultra-fine needle, minimizing discomfort. Many people have reported that it feels like an insect sting. The procedure takes about 10 minutes. Visible results take 2 to 7 days. Occasionally, there may be slight bruising at the injection site. Botox® Cosmetic is not permanent, in 4 to 6 months you will see the wrinkles returning and may choose to repeat the procedure.
