Have You Ever Consideres Tissue Fillers And Other Injectables?

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

Do you have moderate or fine wrinkles on your face that you would like to get rid of? Do you have augment lips or facial depressions that make you look older than you really are? All of these things can be corrected with these different Tissue fillers and Injectables.

Hylauronic Acid Fillers like Juvederm®, Perlane® and Restylane® are very good for this these types of problems and can correct all of these issues.

Radiesse® is a tissue filler that once injected, it works below the skin to stimulate the production of your own collagen, causing your face to attain a more filled out appearance.

Many other ways of treating these issues can be read about on this site I found and it should be very useful in helping people learn more about these types of procedures.

So What Are Dermal fillers?

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

Filler agent treatments for facial aging are one of the most rapidly growing areas of cosmetic medicine. When a plastic surgeon evaluates patients who desire facial rejuvenation, they consider a three prong approach. Surgery and skin care can be vital to obtaining the best result, but the third prong includes fillers. They are a wonderful adjunct in many patients. They can improve the result of surgery in most, but in some, fillers can provide enough improvement that surgery can be delayed.

So what are Dermal fillers? They are products designed to be injected into the skin to correct and soften lines or furrows. They can also be used to increase lip volume. There is a dizzying array of products available that are made from different substances. Some products are derived from animals, and other from cadavers. Still others are bio-engineered. I currently prefer Juvederm. It is made from a substance called hyaluronic acid, which is a natural component of human skin. There is no risk of allergy, so skin testing is not required in advance of treatment. It is a gel formulation, unlike some earlier generation products that are particulate in character. The gel injects smoothly and does not result in lumps or bumps under the skin.

In the past, the lack of longevity of result was a concern for many patients considering filler treatments. Juvederm generally lasts between nine and twelve months in the vast majority of patients. While it is not permanent, most things in life do require maintenance.

Revive Your Youthful Skin

Wednesday, February 11th, 2009

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).
