Injectable Fillers: Radiesse® and Juvederm®
Injectable fillers can plump thin lips, enhance shallow contours, soften facial creases and wrinkles, or improve the appearance of recessed scars.
Radiesse®
Radiesse® dermal filler is an FDA-approved, next-generation filler that is setting a new standard for the correction of facial lines and wrinkles such as nasolabial folds. Made of calcium-based microspheres suspended in a water-based gel, Radiesse® filler is injected into the skin through a simple and minimally invasive procedure giving you immediate, visible improvement of folds and wrinkles, and providing long-lasting and beautiful results.
Juvederm®
Juvederm is what is referred to as an “injectable filler” used to soften deep folds and reduce facial wrinkles. Juvederm was approved by the FDA in June of 2006 for use in patients over the age of 18. One of the key ingredients in Juvederm is hyaluronic acid which helps to maintain the volume of the skin through hydration. The results from Juvederm typically last from 3-6 months depending on the individual. Injections then need to be repeated periodically to maintain results.
