A dermal filler is a solution or gel, applied just beneath the skin by injection, to correct wrinkles or other depressions in the skin. Dermal fillers are especially effective in treating nasolabial folds or "smile lines," and for enhancing the lips. Results from dermal fillers typically last about six to twelve months.
The most widely used dermal filler currently in use is Hyaluronic Acid.
We offer the most advanced, state-of-the-art formulations of this type of filler. These treatments can be administered without prior skin testing, are relatively painless, and provide immediate results:
JUVEDERMTM Injectable Gel - Hyaluronic Acid
HYALURONIC ACID a nontoxic polymer naturally found in human skin. It has the special property of being hydrophilic: it bonds with water molecules in the body -- and by doing so, over time, it is able to maintain fullness and bulk. The hyaluronic acid in JUVEDERMTM Injectable Gel is non-animal-based, which eliminates the risk of animal-based disease transmission and minimizes the possibility of allergic reaction. JUVEDERM, currently our most popular dermal filler, has the highest concentration of hyaluronic acid available among dermal fillers, and is fabricated by an advanced process that creates a uniquely smooth gel. It's supplied in a range of formulations appropriate for a variety of conditions, including deeper wrinkles or folds. Here's a sample of the results of treating such folds with JUVEDERMTM Injectable Gel:
