What is
the difference between Botox and Facial
Fillers? Botox relaxes the muscles that
over time can cause lines and wrinkles. It
is especially useful for lines in between
the eyebrows, across the forehead and
around the eyes also called “Crows Feet”.
Botox is most often used on the upper half
of the face although it can be used
successfully in other areas. Facial Fillers
fill in lines and wrinkles to give more
volume to areas of the face that tend to
lose their youthful fullness as we age.
Facial fillers are most often used for nasal
labial folds, (lines from the nose to the
mouth) fine lines above the lip as well as
the lip, under eye shadows and hollowness,
as well as the lines from the mouth to the
chin (also referred to as marionette lines
or puppet lines).
How long do the fillers last? Most
fillers last approximately of 9-12 months,
some lasting even longer depending on
individual response. Results can be
maintained with touch ups when needed,
usually on a yearly basis.

Perlane®,
like Restylane®, is a long-lasting gel that, once
injected into the skin with an ultra-fine needle,
lift and add volume and help diminsh fine lines &
wrinkles. Made of a natural substance called
hyaluronic acid, it is a completely safe treatment.
The hyaluronic acid in Perlane® simply supplements
the body's age-depleted hyaluronic acid to plump-up
the lip or to raise the skin and 'fill in' the
particular wrinkle being treated.

Perlane® treatments last for between six and nine
months, although individuals will have varied
results. Perlane® is an excellent treatment for
wrinkle correction, lip enhancement, smile lines and
deep folds. Call the office today for an estimated
cost of Perlane® treatments.
Treatments are quick and easy. Recovery time is
minimal. The results are immediate and lasting.
Perlane® treatments last about six months.

Restylane
has become the preferred treatment for most common
types of facial wrinkles. These include crow's feet,
naso-labial wrinkles, and wrinkles that result from
sun damage and other effects of aging. Restylane is
an injectable filler, which sets it apart from
injectable chemical blockers such as Botox. The
active ingredient in Restylane is hyaluronic acid, a
compound found naturally in the body. However,
Restylane is not derived from another organism as
Botox is. Restylane works well for getting rid of
many types of facial wrinkles, specifically those
that are not caused by muscle contracture. It is
also commonly used in lip augmentation.
Is Restylane safe?
Yes, it is safe. In fact, every human has some
amount of hyaluronic acid in his or her body. It is
one of the compounds that add volume and fullness to
the skin.
What is the procedure like?
Your treatment will involve your cosmetic surgeon
injecting small amounts of the gel into your skin.
This can take as little as a few minutes, or up to
an hour, depending on the size of the area needing
treatment. Most procedures can be done during the
course of a lunch break. You may experience minor
amounts of swelling and discoloration following your
treatment, but this should pass within a couple of
days.
When used for lip augmentation, the gel is injected
into the inside of the upper or lower lip, and also
along the lip line. This helps prevent lipstick from
bleeding into the small wrinkle lines around the
edges of the lips.
How long will it take the results to show?
You will notice an improvement immediately as the
injection lifts and smoothes out the wrinkle, though
it takes a few days before the final result is
apparent.
Is Restylane permanent?
Restylane injections are not permanent, but you can
expect your treatment to last up to six months. Most
Restylane patients have the procedure done twice a
year. Those who do not continue with follow-up
treatments will find their treated areas returning
to their pre-treatment state.

Juvéderm™ is
a new
wrinkle
filler that
competes
with
Restylane, a
popular
cosmetic
treatment
for the
face.
Juvéderm™
has shown
promising
results for
long-lasting
smoothing of
acne scars
and facial
wrinkles.
Juvéderm™
typically
lasts six
months from
a single
treatment
session.
Juvéderm™—made
by Allergan,
the same
company that
brought us
Botox — is a
hyaluronic
acid
product that
is dense
enough for
lip
augmentation.
While newly
available in
the U.S,
it has been
widely used
in Canada
and Europe.
Juvéderm™
will be
marketed in
the U.S.
under the
Juvéderm™
Ultra and
Juvéderm™
Ultra Plus
product
names.
As we age, our
skin changes. Over time, the natural
volume of youthful skin begins to
diminish as wrinkles and folds form.
But, with Juvéderm™
injectable gel, you don't have to just
sit back and let it happen! Recently
approved by the FDA, Juvéderm™
injectable gel is a “next-generation”
dermal filler. The smooth consistency
gel helps to instantly restore your
skin's volume and smooth away facial
wrinkles and folds, like your "smile
lines" or “parentheses” (nasolabial
folds—the creases that run from the
bottom of your nose to the corners of
your mouth).
Juvéderm™ is a
smooth consistency gel made of
hyaluronic acid—a naturally occurring
substance in your skin that helps to add
volume and hydration. Your healthcare
professional eases Juvéderm™
injectable gel under the skin to provide
a smooth, natural look and feel—so
everyone will notice (but no one will
know)! In fact, studies show superior
results of Juvéderm™
compared to a collagen-based dermal
filler.* And, almost 90% of
all study volunteers who were treated
with both Juvéderm™
injectable gel and another dermal filler*
preferred Juvéderm™!
In addition, Juvéderm™
injectable gel is the first FDA-approved
hyaluronic acid dermal filler that is
proven to be safe and effective for
persons of color.

An innovation in safe,
enduring wrinkle
correction
Why ArteFill®?
Facial
wrinkles are a result of the
natural aging process. Over
time, the skin loses its
ability to repair itself as
the underlying elastin and
collagen fibers break down
and lose elasticity.
Heredity, UV exposure, and
repetitive facial movement
can all contribute to the
development of facial
wrinkles and folds.
ArteFill is the first and
only FDA-approved
non-resorbable wrinkle
filler for the correction of
smile lines.
-
Immediate, visible
results with no down
time
-
A
simple, in-office
procedure
-
Excellent safety profile1
-
Results improve over the
course of several months
and stand the test of
time
-
Usually requires only 1
or 2 treatments
-
Personalized ArteFill
Progressive

Sculptra®
The
Art
and
Science
of
Sculptra®
Sculptra®
is
intended
for
restoration
and/or
correction
of
the
signs
of
facial
fat
loss
(lipoatrophy)
in
people
with
human
immunodeficiency
virus.
Sculptra®...
a sculpting agent
that restores volume
to correct the signs
of facial fat loss
Sculptra® is
an enduring
treatment approved
by the FDA for
restoration and/or
correction of the
signs of facial fat
loss, or
lipoatrophy,
in people with human
immunodeficiency
virus. It is the
first FDA-approved
product of its kind
for this condition.
Facial fat loss, or
lipoatrophy, is the
loss of fat beneath
the skin, which can
result in sunken
cheeks,
indentations, and
hollow eyes.
Sculptra® is a safe,
synthetic, and
biocompatible
material that is
injected below the
surface of the skin
in the area of fat
loss. It provides a
gradual and
significant increase
in skin thickness,
improving the
appearance of folds
and sunken areas. No
skin testing is
required.
Sculptra® has been
safely used outside
the United States
since 1999 in over
150,000 patients
under the trade
names New-Fill™ and
Sculptra®.
