Injectable
Fillers

• If you have any of the following issues, you may want to look into injectable fillers:
• Age lines in the forehead.
• Facial wrinkles, especially around the eyes.
• Lines and wrinkles around the mouth and nose.
• Decreased facial volume.
• Lip atrophy; the loss of lip fullness.

Your procedure’s injectable filler selection will be based on the areas of your face that need work and the severity of your age-related symptoms.

Before filler injections are applied, your surgeon will clean the treatment areas and numb them with a local anesthetic. Within an hour, you will have finished the entire treatment.

Juvederm is an injectable filler made from hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance found in the human body. It is effective for reducing the appearance of moderate frown lines and crow’s feet. Depending on age and lifestyle, the results of a Juvederm treatment can last anywhere from six months to a year.

Radiesse filler injections like those made by Juvéderm are ideal for eliminating smile lines, plumping up sunken cheeks, and smoothing out scars. Radiesse injections typically last for one year, at which point the material dissolves harmlessly within the body’s tissues.

Restylane, like Juvederm, is a dermal filler that contains natural hyaluronic acid to reduce the look of wrinkles and fine lines. Injections of Restylane can maintain their effects for up to nine months.

This injectable filler is most effective for deep creases and wrinkles on the face. Belotero is a longer-lasting alternative to Juvederm and Restylane, and its softer gel construction makes it more comfortable during treatment.

A little bit of swelling at the injection sites is normal after the procedure, but it should go down after 48 hours.

According to Dr. Trelles, a plastic and laser surgeon at the cutting-edge dentistry, plastic and aesthetic laser surgery clinic Vilafortuny, patients are discharged immediately following treatment and can resume their daily activities the following day.
