Injectable Fillers Maryland
Juvederm, Radiesse & Restylane
What
is an injectable filler?
Injectable fillers, sometimes called "Dermal
fillers", are specially designed cosmetic treatments
that are used to reduce and sometimes eliminate the
appearance of fine lines and wrinkles that make us
look older. They help to reverse the signs of aging
while providing a more youthful, refreshed, and healthier
appearance.
Say goodbye to the lines, creases, crow's feet,
and hollowed areas that many of us get as we age;
and say hello to the fuller, healthier, look of youth.
When searching for the perfect dermal filler it is
important to understand that each is designed in a
specific way to meet your specific needs.
Understanding Juvaderm™
Juvaderm™ is a gel produced from hyaluronic
acid, which is a naturally occurring element in skin
that helps to produce volume and hydration. This gel
is designed to refresh the look of skin and erase
the signs of aging. This is the only FDA approved
hyaluronic acid filler that has a proven track record
for great results, found quickly and safely.
Juvaderm™ is administered through a fine injection
directly into the mid to deep dermis to help fill
in the unwanted lines and creases. Before receiving
a Juvaderm™ injection it is important to discontinue
the use of any medications that could prolong bleeding
(including aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatories).
In general, the injection process takes approximately
15 minutes; and since this is a non-surgical treatment
there is little to no downtime.
What happens following a Juvederm™ injection?
After you have received your injection your doctor
may recommend that you avoid excessive exercise, sun
or heat exposure, and alcoholic beverage consumption
for approximately one day; this is to diminish the
risk of temporary swelling, redness, and/or itching
at the injection site. For some patients injection-related
reactions have been reported. These reactions include
pain, redness, swelling, or bumps. These symptoms
have been mild and reported to have disappeared within
one week.
You will be thrilled with the results; most patients
report that the treatment area shows fewer fine lines
and wrinkles, as well as, a reduction in the appearance
of facial folds immediately. For many patients optimal
results are achieved with one treatment, which can
last up to 9 months on occasion follow-up or "touch-up"
injections may be needed for maintenance purposes.
Understanding Restylane®
Restylane® is a cosmetic filler that is used
to create smooth, healthy looking skin, as well as,
to enhance lips, reduce the severity of nasolabial
folds, chin augmentation, the reduction of acne scarring,
and to help create an almost flawless appearance.
This clear gel filler contains hyaluronic acid and
is used to fill in the collagen that has been lost
or damaged as we age. Restylane® does not use
any animal products and it completely safe for all
skin types. This non-surgical cosmetic alternative
requires a few simple injections and no downtime.
Restylane® is available in a variety of forms
to fit the cosmetic needs of almost anyone. Your doctor
can advise you on what the best treatment course is
for your individual needs. Like other dermal fillers,
Restylane® is injected directly into the treatment
area and provides fast and easy results that you will
love.
What are the benefits and risks of Restylane®?
The benefits of Restylane® are seen immediately.
You will notice smoother younger looking skin with
minimal amounts of pain and no recovery time. Most
people who have received Restylane® injections
have found immediate results, however, it may take
two or three days for your appearance to stabilize
since our natural processes require time to assimilate
the additional hyaluronic acid. As you pass through
this you will notice wonderful results that should
last up to six months. Restylane® gives you the
flexibility to contour your features exactly the way
you want them. You and your doctor can create a treatment
schedule that works for you.
Restylane® is a safe treatment option but some
minor side effects are possible. These include redness,
minimal swelling, or mild discomfort, all of which
are temporary and should diminish within a few days.
Understanding Radiesse™
Radiesse™ is an innovative dermal filler that
fills in fine lines and wrinkles and adds volume to
lost or damaged collagen. Radiesse™ is different
because it gives the same great results as other dermal
fillers but last much longer and helps to stimulate
your own natural production of collagen. This means
a natural look that you will love with fewer trips
to the doctor's office, which can save you time
and money.
Radiesse™ is created using a water-based gel
containing calcium-based micro-spheres that are able
to co-exist with your natural skin tissue. This biocompatibility
means no allergy testing and a flawless natural look
that compliments your facial contours. Administered
within 15 minutes you can be on your way in no time.
The results and risks of Radiesse™
You will notice the results immediately and they
will continue for up to 12 months, this is 2 to 4
times longer than some other collagen injections.
So why wait start enjoying a more youthful appearance

because it is developed using a biocompatible design
that poses no allergic reactions. In some cases minor
swelling occurs but this should diminish with 24 hours.
