Radiesse is an additional option offering longer lasting results but should only be used to restore volume in the cheeks and nasiolabial folds. This is a calcium-based product that stimulates collagen production and lasts a year or longer.
Hyaluronic acid is a water-binding sugar molecule and is bio-compatible with our bodies. We absorb this product gradually over a period of six to nine months. Juvéderm Ultra and Restylane are hyaluronic-based products that last 6 months or longer. We use these products to fill in furrows under the eyes, the lines between the nose and mouth, (nasiolabial folds), or lines between the mouth and chin, (marionette lines). Juvéderm Ultra Plus and Perlane are also hyaluronic based, but thicker products that can be used in areas where lines are deeper and more volume is needed. All of these products can be used to restore volume to the cheeks as well.
Artefill is considered a permanent filler and skin testing is required as it is a bovine product. This product is used in the lines between the nose and mouth (nasiolabial folds) for deep folds and can be layered with another product.
