Fillers

In young skin, the collagen and hyaluronic acid framework is intact and the skin remains moisturized and elastic. It's resilient to the many facial expressions we adopt as well as everyday environmental exposure. But, over time, the support structure weakens and the skin loses its elasticity. The skin begins to lose its tone as the collagen and hyaluronic acid supports wear down. Every time you smile, frown or squint, you put stress on the supports in your skin. The effect of these facial expressions is cumulative and facial lines begin to appear. Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm, Teosyal, Radiesse and ArteSense injections smooth wrinkles and enhance lips and cheeks instantly. If you would like to get rid of wrinkles and folds or if you want to improve the fullness of your face or lips, these are the answers to your needs.

Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm and Teosyal

Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm & Teosyal are long-lasting, crystal-clear gels composed of Hyaluronic acid and used for filling out lips, facial wrinkles and facial folds. Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the body and therefore dissolves naturally with time. The hyaluronic acid is derived from a non-animal source and is almost identical to that naturally found in the body being only very slightly modified (0.5 - 1%). Unlike Collagen, there is no need for allergy testing so treatment may be performed on the same day as your consultation.

Radiesse

Radiesse® works with your body, below the skin’s surface, to stimulate the production of collagen and encourage tissue regeneration. It does more than just temporarily fill-in facial lines and wrinkles - it rebuilds your skin’s foundation. You get immediate results and look younger, longer. Radiesse is made of very small, smooth calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) micro spheres, which are suspended in a water-based gel carrier. As Radiesse is injected, the gel and Radiesse Micro spheres form a “scaffold”, stimulating collagen production and encouraging tissue growth in and around the injection area. This “partnership” between Radiesse and your own body creates a natural look, comprised of your own tissue and Radiesse Micro spheres.

Over time, your body absorbs the gel carrier while collagen has started to grow and infiltrate the area, replacing the gel with your own, natural tissue. The Radiesse Micro spheres continue to provide the support and structure for your body to grow new tissue and collagen until the Micro spheres are also safely and naturally absorbed into your body. 

ArteSense

ArteSense’s primary ingredient, PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate), is an inert material with decades of medical experience within the human body, and blended with a small amount of collagen. A series of tiny injections are made under the skin’s surface, filling the gaps and raising skin to its normal height. Over time, the collagen dissipates and is replaced with new collagen created by the body, binding the ArteSense in place for a long-lasting effect.
