There are several injectable soft tissue fillers available to you for facial rejuvenation. Juvéderm®, Restylane®, Perlane®, and Belotero all are hyaluronic acid fillers which can be injected without any prior allergy testing. These products are used to soften the lines or fill in the hollows which can occur with aging, such as those that deepen around the nose and mouth. Many of these fillers now are formulated with a local numbing medication so that the injection itself is very tolerable. The effects of these hyaluronic fillers usually last anywhere from 6-18 months, depending on the location of the injection.
Sculptra®, Radiesse, and Artefill are considered to be volumizers which are used to replace lost collagen in the face. We also now offer the newly FDA-approved, longer-lasting filler, Juvederm® Voluma®. The effects of these products tend to last upwards of 2 years or more.
