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.

As we age, we lose volume in our faces due to the loss of collagen and cellular turn over. Over the last few years, a variety of fillers have emerged on the market. Although they aren’t for everyone, we offer numerous options and can assist you in choosing the one that’s just right for you. Fillers can be used to restore youthful contour and erase wrinkles with no downtime. So zip in at lunch and head back to the office or tennis court and no one ever has to know.
After choosing the product that’s right for you, we focus on your comfort and offer dental blocks or a prescription strength numbing cream. If you bruise easily, we suggest eating fresh papaya and pineapple a few days before the procedure. We also give you Arnica tablets or Auriderm, a topical cream, to reduce any discomfort.
Many of our fillers will be explained in upcoming posts, including Artefill, Juvéderm, Restylane, Perlane, Cosmoderm, Cosmoplast, Radiesse and Sculptra.
