Injectables

Wrinkles are an inevitable form of aging. Facial fillers, which are also known as "dermal fillers" and "injectables", are temporary to long-lasting solutions administered through a few tiny injections on specific areas of the face or hands.

Dermal filler fall into three categories: those that stimulate collagen and tissue growth, those that temporarily replace lost volume with "filler" material and a hybrid that delivers a combination of both actions.

With more than a dozen different FDA- approved dermal fillers to choose from, physicians have never had a better selection of safe and effective options for this highly popular nonsurgical procedure. These injectables deliver immediate improvements in the appearance of wrinkles, lines and sagging with notable advantages over conventional surgery.

In my offices, I am using the following cosmetic injectables; each designed with one or several purposes, such as wrinkle reduction and/or lip, jowl, cheek, nose or hand augmentation:

• Botox (Botulinum Toxin Type A)
• Dysport
• Elevess
• Juvederm (Ultra and UltraPlus)
• Radiesse
• Restylane

I always attempt to perform the cosmetic injectable procedures with a shared mental image of your desired final result in mind. My goal is to achieve that image as closely as possible and your expectations become a reality.

Facial fillers are truly an art and every patient is a person with unique anatomical characteristics. I always thrive for the artistic sensibility, perceptual flexibility, and technical ability to create beauty and symmetry on the human form in the many diverse shapes and configurations in which it occurs.

Side effects with fillers are rare, but may include short temporary redness, tenderness or pain at the injection site.
