Dermal Fillers

Beautiful female lips before and after augmentation

Products such as Restylane®, Juvederm®, Perlane®, and Radiesse® are all common types of injectable dermal fillers available today. They are all highly biocompatible making them safe and simple treatments to revitalize your facial appearance by increasing volume in the face. It is very common to couple a Botox® treatment with any of these fillers.

Uses

Facial dermal fillers can also be used to:

  • Plump up and fill out the jowls (folds from the corners of mouth to chin)
  • Fill in facial depressions such as acne or surgical scars
  • Fill deep irregularities from soft tissue loss and fat loss
  • Crow’s feet
  • Improves appearance of lower lid hollowness (tear trough) and wrinkles

Treatment

So that you are comfortable you are receiving the optimal treatment for you, the plastic surgery trained practitioners at the RoxSpa will provide you with a personalized consultation and assessment prior to your treatment.

Restylane and Juvederm are clear injectable gels produced with stabilized, hyaluronic acid and water. Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the body, however, over time its synthesis diminishes. By replenishing nature’s supply of hyaluronic acid, Restylane or Juvederm revitalize and plump up the skin, instantly diminishing the appearance of lines and giving a softer look. Results with these fillers are expected to last 6 months or more. Fillers are expected to last 4-6 months or even longer but varies patient to patient.

Perlane is another dermal filler that was approved by the FDA in May of 2007. It has large gel particles that can reach the deep layers of the skin, allowing for enhanced volume capabilities. Using their clinical and aesthetic judgment, the RoxSpa practitioners may choose Perlane to soften more prominent wrinkles, more severe facial folds, to augment thin lips or to improve facial scarring, including acne scarring.

Radiesse is an injectable facial filler composed of calcium hydroxylapatite. Like hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite is biocompatible, so it is safely used in the body. One potential advantage of Radiesse is that its effect can last up to two to three years. It is the only filler that immediately replenishes lost volume and stimulates the production of your own natural collagen for long-lasting results. It is clinically proven to last a year or more in many patients.
