Wrinkle correction treatments: Botox, Artefill, Radiesse, Sculptra, Hylaform or Juvederm.

BOTOX:

Botox® injections provide dramatic effect by temporarely paralyzing the muscles responsible for forming wrinkles in the forehead, around the eyes (crow's feet) and frown lines. Botox injections provide results that last 3-5 months without a surgical procedure. A few drops of reconstituted Botox solution is injected into the muscle that causes wrinkle formation. With this muscle weakness the overlaying skin relaxes and wrinkles soften and disappear.

ARTEFILL:

An innovation in safe, enduring wrinkle correction

Artefill® is the first and only FDA-approved permanent wrinkle filler for the correction of smile lines. Facial wrinkles are a result of the natural aging process. Over time, the skin loses its ability to repair itself as the underlying elastin and collagen fibers break down. Heredity, UV exposure and repetitive facial movement can all contribute to the development of facial wrinkles and folds. It is popular because of the following reasons:

• Immediate, visible results with no downtime.
• A simple, in-office procedure.
• Excellent safety profile.
• Results improve over the course of several months and stand the test of time.

Usually requires only one or two treatments

RADISSEE:

Radiesse™ is a filler material made from calcium hydroxyapatite as the base component. It can be used to replace soft tissue loss in the nasolabial folds and around areas of the face where there is bone loss as well. It is also effective for acne scarring. It lasts approximately 1 to 2 years, depending on the area injected.

SCULPTRA:

Sculptra™ / New Fill™ (poly-l-lactic acid) is a safe, synthetic injectable material that provides a gradual and significant increase in skin thickness and is used for the correction of fine lines, wrinkles and furrows or creases, as well as for the augmentation of cheeks, chin and lips. It has been used for over 5 years in 33 countries worldwide. SCULPTRA™ is composed of poly-l-lactic (PLLA) acid, a synthetic substance that is biodegradable and biocompatible. SCULPTRA™ works by providing a framework for your body to produce and lay down collagen, which fills in the desired area. There's no pre-treatment skin test, and, unlike surgery, little to no downtime. Most people usually return to work or normal activities immediately. SCULPTRA™ is long lasting but not permanent.

HYLAFORM:

Hylaform™ (Hyaluronic Acid) Replacement Therapy - Hylaform is another variation of hyaluronic acid for filling facial defects. It works in similar fashion to Restylane.

JUVEDERM:

Introducing Juvéderm™ Injectable Gel, The newest facial filler by the makers of Botox® Cosmetic

As we age, our skin changes. Over time, the natural volume of youthful skin begins to diminish as wrinkles and folds form. But, with Juvéderm™ injectable gel, you don't have to just sit back and let it happen! Recently approved by the FDA, Juvéderm™ injectable gel is a “next-generation” dermal filler. The smooth consistency gel helps to instantly restore your skin's volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and folds, like your "smile lines" or “parentheses” (nasolabial folds—the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth).

Juvéderm™ is a smooth consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid—a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration. Juvéderm™ injectable gel in injected under the skin to provide a smooth, natural look and feel—so everyone will notice (but no one will know)! In addition, Juvéderm™ injectable gel is the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler that is proven to be safe and effective for persons of color.
