Don’t have time for long recoveries? Looking for immediate satisfaction for wrinkle removal, scar improvements, facial lifting and volume enhancement?
Then filling substances are for you. Done in minutes, you can fill in those lines, correct hollowed out, tired eyes, or enhance those lips with a natural looking, safe result. Maybe you want to change or enhance your cheek bones, chin, or nose without surgery. The use of filling substances to augment facial features is truly an art form. There is no best substance. Dr. Frank and his associates work with their vast experience and a patient’s needs to find the best filler for each individual and their intentions. In addition to the traditional agents, such as Collagen, there are several filling agents both temporary and permanent available in our center. We were proud to be amongst the few leading injectors for the FDA trials of Restylane®, currently the world’s most popular filling agent. A naturally occurring sugar, Restylane® can be used immediately, without allergy testing, and without the risk of disease transmission seen with traditional agents.
The latest upgrade in the cosmetic arsenal is
Juvederm™, a competitive agent to Restylane. Made of the same hyaluronic acid material, Juvederm™ has slightly different physical characteristics that make this a softer agent for a certain patient population. Great for lips and masking blue circles and hollows under one’s eyes.
For a longer lasting and extremely natural feeling result, ask about permanent microinjections. Great for lips, smile lines and acne scars.
Radiesse® is a long lasting temporary filler derived from calcium hydroxyapetite, a natural and soft component of bone. Used for years in head and neck surgery, its attributes for cosmetic dermatology are shining through. We commonly use this substance to build cheekbones and chins without the use of surgical implants. In addition, facial hollowing can easily be addressed along with non-invasive rhinoplasty (nose job) to rid of nose bumps or unsavory shapes. Lasting up to one and a half years, Radiesse® has become a popular alternative to other available fillers.
Sculptra®, another long lasting filler, has been FDA approved for facial atrophy associated with HIV disease and therapy. Made from micronized suture material, Sculptra can correct facial wasting with long term results after only a few treatment sessions.
Cosmoplast® and Cosmoderm® collagen fillers are still a standard of care. Quick and easy, these fillers have a long history of safety and use in cosmetic dermatology.
Each filler has different characteristics and depending on the needs of the patient both aesthetically and physically, our center will help patients find the appropriate treatment. Call to arrange for a consultation.
