What dermal filler products are available?
Injectable fillers are all designed for different purposes, depending on your areas of concern. For example, some people have prominent smile and worry lines, while others want to correct thin lips or raise the area around the cheekbones. About Face & Body Medical Spa offers JUVÉDERM, Restylane, Sculptra Aesthetic, and RADIESSE in Katy, TX:
-
JUVÉDERM: uses hyaluronic acid to smooth wrinkles and folds. This brand is normally recommended for areas around the mouth and nose. However, some JUVÉDERM formulas can also be used to add fullness to the cheeks and lips.
-
Restylane: also made with hyaluronic acid to correct mild to moderate facial wrinkles. Restylane is typically used in the cheeks, lips, and nasolabial folds, also known as the indentations on either side of your mouth.
-
Sculptra Aesthetic: made from poly-L-lactic acid to encourage collagen production and make your skin more resilient over time. Areas commonly treated with Sculptra Aesthetic include the temples and mid-cheek region, but it can be injected in nearly any facial area with wrinkles and lines.
-
RADIESSE: uses calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) gel microspheres, which are similar to the minerals found in our own bodies. RADIESSE enhances volume around the nose and mouth, cheeks, and lips.
What happens after dermal filler treatment?
About Face & Body Medical Spa can perform injectable fillers in about 20 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. Some side effects include temporary swelling or redness at the injection sites.
