Restylane®, Juvéderm®, 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.

Restylane® and Juvéderm® 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 and Juvéderm 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.

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 chose Perlane to soften more prominent wrinkles and/or 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.

The RoxSpa practitioners commonly use dermal facial fillers to increase volume and revitalize any of the following areas:



Facial dermal fillers can also be used to:

• Plump up and fill out the jowls (folds from the corners of the mouth to the chin)
• Fill in facial depressions such as acne or surgical scars
• Fill deep irregularities from soft tissue loss and fat loss
• Augment jawline to make it more sculpted or angular
