Soft Tissue Fillers
(Restylane, Hylaform, Juvederm, Collagen)
Youthful
skin is smooth and elastic with a healthy, opalescent glow. During the aging
process, this smoothness and elasticity waxes and ebbs, resulting in drier and
thinner skin with a reduced capacity for replenishment. The hyaluronic acid and
collagen levels in the skin diminish and the skin will begin to wrinkle and age.
Approved by the FDA, Restylane, Juvederm, and
Hylaform Plus ( composed of hyaluronic acid) are designed to smooth
wrinkles, sculpt lips, and shape facial contours. With their unique ability to
bind with water, these fillers can last for up to 6 months or longer in the
skin. The hyaluronic acid found in these fillers is not of animal or human
origin which means that there is no risk of disease transmittal or allergic
reaction, which you might find in other cosmetic fillers. There is no need for
skin tests and the risk of side effects is very low.
Facial lines and features that
can be corrected by these fillers include:
-
Worry lines that run across the forehead (forehead lines)
-
Crow's feet at the corner of the eyes (periorbital lines)
-
Frown lines that run between the eyebrows (glabellar lines)
-
Smoker's lines which are vertical lines on the mouth (perioral lines)
-
Marionette lines at the corner of the mouth (oral commissures)
-
Deep smile lines that run from side of the nose to corners of the
mouth (nasolabial furrows)
-
Cheek depressions
-
Redefining lip border and providing lip volume/shape
-
Acne scars
-
Some facial scars

COLLAGEN – COSMODERM AND COSMOPLAST
Collagen is a protein found in the second layer of
skin known as the dermis. Cosmoderm and Cosmoplast are human based
collagen products that are injected under the dermis layer to provide fullness
and volume to areas of the face such as the lips, cheeks and forehead. Collagen
is used primarily to fill wrinkles, lines and scars on the face and sometimes
the neck, back and chest.
