Juvederm & Restylane
As we grow older, signs of aging become more evident on our faces. This is recognizable as wrinkles and folds. There are various injectable cosmetic fillers available to help improve upon one's facial appearance and achieve a more youthful look. These fillers add volume and smooth out wrinkles.
Types of Juvederm
JUVÉDERM VOLUMA XC
Juvéderm Voluma XC is a hyaluronic acid gel, a naturally occurring sugar in our bodies, but engineered and FDA approved for the treatment of “age related volume loss in the mid face.”
It is referred to as a “high density” hyaluronic gel because of its great ability to do more than just fill facial wrinkles. Voluma XC also adds fullness, lift, and contour to moderate to severe folds. The benefits of Voluma XC can last for up to 2 years.
Our favorite place to inject Voluma XC is along the cheek bones. Our patients love the subtle yet beautiful look they achieve with more contour to their cheeks, a lift of the nasolabial folds and doll’s lines and a youthful healthy look of added volume where it was lost.
JUVÉDERM ULTRA PLUS XC/RESTYLANE LYFT
These products are extraordinary if you have moderate to severe wrinkles and parentheses lines around the nose and mouth. The thicker formula is injected into the deeper dermal layers to smooth nasolabial folds, doll’s lines and sunken cheeks. It gives a completely natural look while diminishing the shadows and lines.
JUVÉDERM ULTRA XC
Juvéderm Ultra is great for filling slight to moderate wrinkles to create a more smooth-looking appearance of the skin. Because of its thinner formula, this is our favorite product as a subtle lip enhancer and for correcting the appearance of scars.
