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 or 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, 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:
