Choosing the Best Filler for You

Posted June 13, 2017 in Fillers

Sometimes referred to as a “non-surgical liquid facelift,” dermal fillers can help you achieve a more lifted and rejuvenated facial appearance. Fillers can restore youthful facial contours by correcting volume loss, softening wrinkles, and enhancing the lips and cheeks. Aesthetic Nurse Specialist Heidi Fell, R.N., would be pleased to help you determine which filler or combination of fillers is best for your anti-aging needs.

JUVÉDERM®

The JUVÉDERM® family of fillers, which includes JUVÉDERM® Ultra and JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus, all contain hyaluronic acid and can smooth away wrinkles and enhance facial volume. JUVÉDERM® may be recommended if you have moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds (smile lines or parentheses lines). JUVÉDERM® may also be a good filler for you if you would like to create fuller and softer-looking lips and cheeks. Results with this treatment last up to one year.

Restylane®

The Restylane family of products, which includes Restylane®, Restylane® Lyft, Restylane® Silk, Restylane® Refyne, and Restylane® Defyne, are clear gel fillers composed of hyaluronic acid. These treatments can give you a more youthful facial appearance by adding volume and correcting moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. In addition, they can enhance the lips by improving their shape and fullness. Results typically last about six months.

Sculptra® Aesthetic

Sculptra® Aesthetic is unlike most other fillers. Over time, this filler gradually replaces collagen beneath the skin and restores facial volume. Sculptra® Aesthetic may be recommended for the treatment of deep nasolabial folds, severe facial wrinkles, hollows under the eyes, and flat cheeks. Results from this filler can last up to two years.
