Which Injectable Filler Is Best for Me?

Posted June 17, 2015 in Injectable Fillers

The Difference Between Facial Fillers

The Difference Between Facial FillersThere are many cosmetic procedures available to restore a youthful look to the face. For some people, surgical procedures like facelifts are desired, while others prefer less invasive treatments like injectable fillers. For those who wish to achieve a more attractive facial appearance through fillers, we carry several types to improve all aspects of the face.

JUVÉDERM® XC

Composed of a naturally occurring substance known as hyaluronic acid, JUVÉDERM® XC is primarily used to improve moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. Results from JUVÉDERM® XC typically last six to eight months.

JUVÉDERM® XC effectively treats the following:

  • Nasolabial folds (lines around the nose and mouth)
  • Hollows under the eyes
  • Thin lips

Restylane-L®

Like JUVÉDERM® XC and BELOTERO BALANCE®, Restylane-L® is made of hyaluronic acid and is used to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles. Restylane-L® can also restore volume and fullness to certain areas of the face. Results from Restylane-L® typically last six to nine months.

Restylane-L® can effectively treat the following:

  • Nasolabial folds (lines around the nose and mouth)
  • Marionette lines (lines from the corners of the mouth down to the jawline)
  • Lines above the upper lip
  • Creases at the corners of the mouth
  • Thin lips

RADIESSE®

Made of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in an aqueous gel, RADIESSE® Volumizing Filler not only fills in wrinkles and provides volume to the face, but it also stimulates the body to produce collagen. Results from RADIESSE® typically last about one year.

RADIESSE® effectively treats the following:

  • Nasolabial folds (lines around the nose and mouth)
  • Marionette lines (lines from the corners of the mouth down to the jawline)
  • Creases at the corners of the mouth
  • Pre-jowl lines
  • Chin wrinkles
  • Acne scars
  • Deep depressions of the face

Sculptra® Aesthetic

Made of poly-L-lactic acid, Sculptra® Aesthetic improves fullness around the eyes and lips by replacing lost collagen.

PREVELLE™ Silk

Similar to Restylane-L® and JUVÉDERM® XC, PREVELLE™ Silk is used to restore fullness to the face and lips.

Perlane®

Also made of hyaluronic acid, Perlane® is typically used to reduce wrinkles around the mouth and to plump the lips.
