Dermal Fillers

Juvéderm

Juvéderm is a well-known hyaluronic acid filler that is available in several formulas for a variety of purposes. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance that creates a firm, plump, and hydrated appearance in the skin. Juvéderm facial fillers can be used to restore volume loss, especially in areas such as the cheeks, lips, or near the mouth. It is a common choice among patients who wish to reduce nasolabial folds or augment the lips for a plumper appearance. Most Juvéderm results last about one year, though some formulas and injection sites can last up to two years.

Restylane

Restylane is another line of hyaluronic acid fillers. These fillers are designed for natural-looking results. They can be injected in areas such as the cheeks, chin, nasolabial folds, forehead lines, or lips to reduce wrinkles and folds, restore lost volume, and create a smoother and more youthful look. Restylane can reduce wrinkles such as smoker’s lines, marionette lines, or nasolabial folds by replacing lost volume and filling in the lines. Depending on the formula used and the injection site, Restylane results may last from 6-18 months.

RHA

RHA Collection dermal fillers are designed using resilient hyaluronic acid, a specialized formula of hyaluronic acid designed to adapt to facial movement and offer long-lasting results. RHA Collection injectables are intended for dynamic wrinkles or folds such as nasolabial folds. These wrinkles occur in areas of frequent facial movement as you speak or express yourself, but are primarily caused by volume and collagen loss over time. The formula was also designed to most closely resemble natural hyaluronic acid for smooth and subtle results.

Sculptra Aesthetic

Sculptra is a unique and long-lasting dermal filler option that uses poly-L-lactic acid to stimulate new collagen production for more youthful-looking skin. This means that the results continue to gradually improve over time as the new collagen grows, eventually creating a naturally youthful look. It is beneficial for smile lines, marionette lines, chin wrinkles, and more. Sculptra creates completely natural results that typically last two years or longer.

Dermal Fillers FAQs

Can fillers help with Ozempic face?

Yes! Filler can restore the volume to your face that you might have lost after weight loss from medications like Ozempic. Those who take the medication have noted a loss of facial volume or “Ozempic face” and fillers can help with that hollow look.

Are Juvederm injections painful?

Because thin needles are used to inject Juvederm into the skin, you shouldn't feel much pain at all. You may feel a small pinch, but not anything beyond that.

Can Restylane injections reduce fine lines and wrinkles?

Yes! Restylane can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by restoring volume in the face. It can also reduce sagging skin on the face which often contributes to fine lines and wrinkles.

What are dermal fillers made of?

It depends on the type of dermal filler you're looking at. Restylane, Juvederm, and RHA are made of hyaluronic acid and Sculptra is made of poly-L-lactic acid.

When will I see the results of RHA dermal fillers?

You will see some results immediately, but they develop even more over 24-48 hours after the injection.

Will dermal fillers make me look frozen?

No! Dermal fillers don't stop the movement of your face or your muscles. They simply add volume to the face and allow you to fully express all your emotions.
