Dermal Fillers

Made with hyaluronic acid, JUVÉDERM is a smooth-consistency gel that glides easily into the skin. Particularly suited for nasolabial folds (also referred to as “smile lines”) near the mouth, JUVÉDERM is the only FDA-approved filler to last up to 1 year and to be safe and effective for persons of color. JUVÉDERM is available in two solutions: JUVÉDERM Ultra and JUVÉDERM Ultra plus to correct deeper creases.

This hyaluronic acid filler is approved by the FDA to replenish volume in the cheeks that has diminished as a result of aging. VOLUMA XC is effective on all areas of the cheek and creates a natural-looking, youthful fullness that can last for up to 2 years. Formulated with lidocaine for a comfortable treatment experience, VOLUMA XC delivers a subtle lift on its own.

JUVÉDERM Vollure™ XC softens moderate to severe parentheses lines and wrinkles near the mouth by adding volume to the lines and wrinkles around your nose and mouth to produce subtle and long-lasting results for up to 18 months. It is a longer-lasting formulation of the original JUVÉDERM XC product.

Made from poly-L-lactic acid, Sculptra is approved by the FDA for the restoration and correction of facial fat loss. It is best used to treat deep folds between the nose and mouth as well as creases and wrinkles around the mouth and chin. Through a series of injections over a period of a few months, it can help replace lost collagen by creating an environment beneath the skin that encourages the growth of new collagen. As a result, changes appear gradually and create natural-looking, long-lasting improvements that can last up to 2 years.

Restylane is the world’s best-selling dermal filler. It is a cosmetic dermal filler made of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that already exists in the human body. Restylane maintains its shape using the body’s own moisture. As hyaluronic acid gradually degrades, each molecule binds to more water and, over time, the same volume can be maintained with less hyaluronic acid. This ability of hyaluronic acid to bind to water is what helps provide lasting results. Although slightly more expensive than collagen, Restylane can last anywhere from 2 to 4 times longer. Also, because Restylane contains no animal proteins, there is lower risk of allergic reactions.

If you’ve always had thin lips, or if they are losing volume as you get older, Restylane Silk injections can create fuller lips that look natural. Silk — like other Restylane products — is made using hyaluronic acid, but with a formulation specific to thinning lips and the fine lines that develop around the mouth. These “smile lines” are often one of the earliest signs of aging. The smaller, smoother particles in Silk differ from other Restylane fillers, which makes Silk ideal for the subtle addition of volume.

Volume loss in the midface area, especially the cheeks, can make you look older than you are by creating a hollow appearance. Where traditional hyaluronic acid-based fillers have fallen short in this area, Restylane Lyft can achieve the desired result. Its thicker formulation means a smaller amount of Restylane Lyft can get the same desired results as comparable products, making it a more affordable option. Patients may experience results lasting an average of 10 to 18 months.

BELOTERO BALANCE® injectable gel is a prescription injection that is used to temporarily smooth out and fill in moderate-to-severe nasolabial folds as well as other moderate-to-severe etched-in lines and wrinkles near your lips and mouth. BELOTERO integrates directly into the skin, helping to enhance the appearance of stubborn etched-in lines and wrinkles with minimal downtime.
