As you age your skin loses volume, leading to the development of fine lines and wrinkles. Volumizers work by stimulating the natural matrix-bulking components in the skin, notably collagen. They instantly—and effectively—fill in fine lines, facial folds, and crevices by replacing lost volume for a smoother, plumper, younger-looking look.

Results are typically seen immediately, however, swelling, bruising, tenderness may occur at the injection site and will usually subside within seven days.

Treatment time varies depending on the number of areas to be treated, but can be as short as 15 minutes. Numbing cream will typically be applied prior to injections in order to make the treatment as comfortable as possible. Restylane® filler is injected using a very fine needle or a micro-cannula to achieve your desired outcomes, and your provider may gently massage the area after the initial injection. After your treatment, results are visible immediately. For the first 1-2 weeks, it is normal to experience side effects such as swelling, bruising, redness, or tenderness at the injection site. To ensure that you are a good candidate for hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, your provider will have an in-depth consultation with you prior to treatment.

Restylane® Kysse and Restylane® Silk both target the lips and wrinkles surrounding the mouth known as perioral wrinkles. Restylane® Lyft is indicated for moderate to severe wrinkles and volume loss. Some of the most common targeted areas include nasolabial folds, cheeks, and hands. Restylane®, Restylane®-L , and Restylane® Refyne are versatile fillers with varying consistencies and volumes. They are all used to target multiple facial concerns, including moderate to severe wrinkles, facial folds, and, in some cases, lips. Restylane® Defyne is used to target facial wrinkles and folds, as well as the chin. Chin augmentation using Restylane® Devyne balances the profile for patients with chin retrusion.
The Restylane® family of fillers is composed of non-animal hyaluronic acid and is developed to mimic the hyaluronic acid that occurs naturally in the human body. Restylane® fillers vary in volume and texture in order to take on the natural look and feel of the treated area.
The duration of results may vary based on the treated area and the degree of correction. With full treatment, some results can last as long as 12-18 months, however maintenance appointments within 6-9 months are typically recommended.
Radiesse® is a collagen stimulator, formulated to restore volume loss and smooth wrinkles in the face and hands
The main structural protein in the body is collagen, which keeps the skin youthful. Through the natural process of aging, collagen production slows, leaving the skin to sag and wrinkles to form. Radiesse is a nonsurgical procedure that adds immediate volume while also stimulating the skin's natural collagen production process.
Radiesse is a non invasive procedure with virtually no downtime. Appoints are typically only 30 minutes long, and patients are able to return to their daily routine immediately after treatment.
Targeted areas for Radiesse include smile lines, marionette lines, pre-jowl folds, corners of the mouth, chin wrinkles, and back of the hands. Your provider will work closely with you to determine the best treatment areas for you.
The active ingredient that works to add volume and stimulate collagen in Radiesse is calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres. Once injected into the desired treatment area, the skin is stimulated to restore it’s youthful appearance.
Radiesse treatments typically last 12-18 months.
