Restylane® | Perlane® | CosmoDerm and Cosmoplast |
Radiesse
| JUVÉDERM™ Ultra Plus

Facial wrinkle fillers are used when natural aging and lifestyle factors diminish the natural collagen layer that supports the skin. And where collagen diminishes, unwelcome lines and wrinkle may appear. Facial wrinkle fillers are also used for correcting prominent nasolabial folds, cheek elevation, enlargement of lips, and elevation of acne scars. Treatment results are immediate and typically last three to twelve months, depending on the area being treated and which type of facial wrinkle filler is used. Without ongoing treatments, the facial wrinkle filler is gradually absorbed by the body and your face returns to its original contours. There are several types of facial wrinkle fillers including Restylane®, CosmoDerm, CosmoPlast, Radiesse™, Juvederm™ Ultra Plus, Perlane®, ArteFill®, and Elevess™.

The facial wrinkle fillers offer these important advantages:

Immediate treatment - no pre-treatment skin test required!

Treatment results typically last three to twelve months, and longer with Radiance.

Restylane® and Perlane®

Restylane® and Perlane® restores volume and fullness to the skin to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds. They are both composed of non-animal-based hyaluronic acid (a natural substance that already exists in the human body). Perlane® has larger gel particles and is intended to be injected deeper within the skin. The treatment results last an average of six to twelve months.

CosmoDerm and Cosmoplast

CosmoDerm and Cosmoplast are injected just below the surface of the skin, filling in unwanted lines and wrinkle and adding definition to the lip border. This filler is made from human collagen and formulated with an anesthetic for comfort. The treatment results last typically between three to six months.

Radiesse™

Radiesse™ is used in correcting prominent nasolabial folds, cheek elevation, enlargement of lips, and elevation of acne scars. It is comprised of smooth, 40 micron spheres of synthetic calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHa) suspended in gel with sodium carboxymethylcellulose media. Because CaHa is normal constituent of bone, Radiesse™ should not elicit an immune response. Therefore, skin testing as used with collagen, is unnecessary. CaHa is not a new material in human prosthetic implants. It has been used in both dental and orthopedic reconstruction, augmentation of the cheek and lips, and acting as substrate for bone growth. Studies in soft tissue have shown the material remains soft, without the creation of cartilage or bone.

The material is injected after a local anesthetic is administered. There is some swelling and potential bruising similar to collagen injections. The advantages over collagen are lack of allergic reaction and longevity.

The treatment results last on average 1 year.

JUVÉDERM™
