Dermal Fillers

Volume and fullness in the face suggest a more youthful appearance. The effects of sun exposure, gravity, and facial movements such as smiling, squinting, eating or smoking cause tissue breakdown, leaving lines and creases in these areas. We offer a choice of dermal fillers to correct moderate to severe facial lines and creases, and restore volume and fullness to the lips.

Restylane / Perlane / Juvederm / Juvederm Ultra Plus

Hyaluronic acid is a non-animal-based, natural substance similar to that already existing in the human body. No skin test is required, and results are immediate. Some patients prefer a local anaesthetic to numb the area to be treated; others describe the treatment as a quick pin prick. The gel is injected into the skin in tiny amounts with a very fine needle. This produces volume that smoothes the wrinkle or fold, shapes the facial contour or enhances the lips in a natural way.

The result is instantaneous and produces a long-lasting, natural enhancement, gentle and safe to the skin, leaving no scars on the face. The hyaluronic acid fillers last about 6-8 months, depending on each individual.

ArteFill

ArteFill is a gel filler consisting of millions of synthetic microspheres (polymethylmethacrylate or PMMA) suspended in purified bovine collagen. ArteFill also contains the local anesthetic lidocaine to reduce discomfort during injection.

ArteFill is injected directly beneath the wrinkle to add a permanent support structure and smoothen the area. The synthetic PMMA microspheres in ArteFill are “non-resorbable,” which means they are not absorbed into the body or metabolized, allowing ArteFill to last significantly longer than other injectable fillers. ArteFill lasts about 5-7 years, depending on esch individual.

A skin test will have to be done before the actual treatment. After the skin test is done, you will have to wait about 28 days before scheduling the injection.
