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. Dr Frank has harnessed the volumizing benefits of these fillers and combined them with other techniques to create his renowned FLT procedure. Utilizing volume restoration through filling and skin tightening via Thermage treatments, Dr Frank has circumvented the need for aggressive plastic surgery.
In addition to Restylane, the classic hyaluronic acid filler, the latest upgrade in the cosmetic arsenal is Juvederm™. Made of the same hyaluronic acid material, Juvederm™ has slightly different physical characteristics that make this a softer agent with a higher concentration of active ingredients. Great for lips and masking blue circles and hollows under one’s eyes.
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 that gives immediate results.
Sculptra®, (link to “Sculptra” page) 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. Find out about the multiple uses of this popular filler.
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.
Evolence is a newly available collagen filler that lasts longer than its collagen predescesors. In addition, its formula makes for an extremely gentle treatment that leaves virtually no signs of inflammation or bruising. Great for patients that need to look their best for an event that day or the next.
Each filler has different characteristics and depending on the needs of the patient both aesthetically and physically, our center will help patients find the treatment that is ideal for them. Call to arrange for a consultation.
