Fillers are a safe and effective non-surgical alternative for wrinkle reduction and volume correction. New fillers are being developed and introduced at a tremendous rate. The advantage for all of us is a wealth of options and opportunities for individualized treatments. And Atagi Plastic Surgery and Skin Aesthetics, we take advantage of this, by selecting only the best for our patients.
Juvéderm-Plus®, Juvéderm-UltraPlus®, Juvéderm-Plus XC®, Juvéderm-UltraPlus XC®, Radiesse®, and Prevelle Silk®, to name but a few, are all fillers used for treating moderate to severe facial wrinkles and lines, enhancing contours, sculpting lips, creating cheeks, improving acne scars and adding volume to improve folds and hollows. Sculptra® is actually a fibroblast stimulator—stimulating your own cells to proliferate.
Juvéderm Plus®, Juvéderm Ultra Plus®, Juvéderm-Plus XC®, and Juvéderm-UltraPlus XC® are the only hyaluronic acid fillers FDA-approved to last up to a year. The gels are injected into the mid-to-deep dermis (below the outer layer of skin). Juvéderm® offers multiple versions so that we can customize your treatment to meet your goals. In fact, its new XC products provide the first smooth consistency gel formulated with .3% lidocaine for a more comfortable patient experience. Please see www.juvederm.com for more information.
Radiesse® wrinkle filler stimulates new collagen production, resulting in increased volume for natural looking, long-lasting wrinkle correction. It has also received FDA approval to enhance patient comfort with lidocaine mixing. Radiesse has been proven to last a year or more. For more information, please see www.radiesseusa.com.
Prevelle Silk® is a gentle hyaluronic acid that moisturizes and cushions the skin, smoothing away wrinkles. Like Radiesse, it contains lidocaine for more comfortable treatments. Prevelle Silk fillers last 3-6 months in most patients. Please see www.prevelle.com.
Sculptra® is a new type of filler made from poly-L-lactic acid, which replaces lost collagen slowly over time. Poly-L-lactic acid has been used safely for decades in dissolvable stitches and as a facial injectable since 1999 in over 30 countries. Most patients will need a minimum of three treatments, which will then last up to two years. For more information, please see www.sculptraaesthetic.com.
Botox® and fillers are available to you on the same day as your consultation! Simply let us know at the time you schedule your appointment that you are interested so that we have plenty of time for your consultation, assessment and injectable treatment. At your consultation, we will meet with you, answer your questions and determine if you are a candidate for these services.
And to help you decide whether filler injections are right for you, please take a look at our patients' before and after photos in our Photo Gallery. You will see the amazing difference fillers can make!
