An excellent and affordable alternative to the traditional facelift, fillers and injectables give you dependable results and quick recovery times. All to restore beauty and youthfulness to your face. With constantly improving technology and products, cosmetic surgeons can fill the grooves of the face by adding lost facial volume with fillers or smooth out wrinkles with BOTOX® Cosmetic and the recently approved Dysport®.
Fillers: The "Liquid Facelift."
Several classes of filler products help surgeons achieve individualized results for patients. Restalyne®, Juvéderm™ and other hyaluronic (HA) fillers are extremely safe, clear gels that last about six to eight months. These popular substances fill in thinner areas such as in the lips or under the eyes.
More robust products, including Perlane, fill deeper wrinkles such as the smile lines between the nose and mouth (called nasolabial folds).
For longer-lasting results up to 18 months, many surgeons and patients favor Radiesse® and Sculptura®. All temporary fillers are reabsorbed by the body; however, doctors also offer several options for more permanent filling solutions such as fat harvesting or silicone injections. Your surgeon will assess your case and individual needs and discuss the options best suited for you and your budget.
Wrinkles begone.
Everyone's heard of BOTOX Cosmetic and its amazing and dramatic results. BOTOX and its brand new counterpart, newly FDA-approved Dysport, work by easing or immobilizing heavily used facial muscles such as frown lines between the eyebrows or the dynamic wrinkles (crow's feet) at the corner of the eyes. Safe and relatively inexpensive, BOTOX gives you outcomes lasting four to six months. Millions swear by the miracle of BOTOX; some even say it takes 10 years off their face after a 10-minute office visit.
Dysport is now more affordable than Botox and typically works more quickly.
Return to youth.
Injectable technology can also be combined with laser resurfacing methods such as the Active and Deep Fx laser to produce long-lasting results second only to a traditional facelift.
