The Laser Skin Care Center offers four brands of dermal filler: Juvederm®, Radiesse®, Restylane®, and Sculptra®. Dermal fillers not only boost volume but also enhance the target tissue’s capacity to behave more youthfully.
Radiesse®, for instance, contains calcium hydroxylapatite, a mineral-like compound found in bones, that helps to improve wrinkles and frown lines. Juvederm® contains hyaluronic acid – a natural substance that increases the skin’s production of collagen plumping compounds. And Sculptra® uses polylactic acid, which boosts collagen production in thinning lips and facial skin.
Types of Dermal Fillers
Here’s a rundown of the dermal fillers Laser Skin Care Center offers.
Juvederm®
Juvederm® is the brand name for a family of fillers designed to restore lost volume and give your complexion a more vibrant appearance. Specific products, for instance, help to restore plumpness to sunken cheeks or improve lip contours. Others reduce the appearance of lip lines or improve the shape of thin lips.
Applying Juvederm® treatments usually takes around 30 minutes, with only one session required. Results appear instantly and last between six months and two years before needing a top-up.
Radiesse®
Radiesse® is another Laser Skin Care Center filler patients use to restore lost volume and diminish wrinkles. The filler contains tiny spheres of calcium hydroxylapatite, increasing plumpness and encouraging the skin to produce more natural collagen, helping it look more youthful. People use Radiesse® to treat multiple areas of the face, including nasolabial folds (smile lines) and marionette lines that run from the corners of the mouth down to the chin.
Restylane®
FDA-approved Restylane® is another type of dermal filler we use to target nasolabial folds and marionette lines. It is also useful for hand enhancement, cheek augmentation, and lip enhancement.
There are several different types of Restylane®: Lyft, Silk, Refyne, and Defyne. These specific products add volume, augment lips, soften smile lines, and smooth wrinkles.
Sculptra®
Sculptra® is a powerful dermal filler designed to positively impact how you look by increasing your skin’s internal collagen production. Injections use polylactic acid to attack wrinkles, lines, depressed areas around the temples, jowling, and chin wrinkles. The filler boosts natural plumping compounds in the skin, giving patients a fresher, more youthful look.
