Dermal Fillers

Radiesse® is an injectable dermal filler used to effectively plump wrinkled or folded areas of the skin, typically on the face. This innovative treatment not only provides immediate results but also stimulates the naturally occurring collagen beneath your skin, making it a popular choice among facial rejuvenation treatments. Radiesse® can last for up to two years, offering a long-lasting solution compared to other options, such as hyaluronic acid fillers.

How It Works 

Radiesse® consists of calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) gel microspheres that begin to work instantly upon injection. Made up of naturally occurring ions of phosphate and calcium, this injectable gel fills in the volume you desire while simultaneously encouraging your skin to produce more of its own filler over time through collagen stimulation. The components of the gel—hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon—create a structure that mimics connective tissue, enhancing your skin’s overall appearance.

How Long It Lasts

Eventually, the CaHA absorbs back into your body, leaving behind the collagen it has stimulated. Thanks to this remarkable science, Radiesse treatment can last well over a year, and for some individuals, it can even extend up to two years.

What's The Cost

 Radiesse® is $800 per syringe. The number of syringes recommended will depend on the treatment area, your individual needs, and your desired results.

Belotero Balance is a hyaluronic acid filler designed for facial rejuvenation treatments. This injectable dermal filler completely integrates into the skin tissue and specifically targets moderate-to-severe etched-in lines and wrinkles, such as vertical lip lines above and around the lips.  

How It Works  

Belotero Balance penetrates deep into the sub-layers of your skin, binding moisture to fill and plump the wrinkles and folds that have developed in the area. It adapts to the unique contours of your face, ensuring a personalized treatment rather than a “one-size-fits-all” solution that might not suit your needs.  

The unique chemical formulation of Belotero Balance guarantees a smooth, flexible gel that seamlessly blends into the natural structure of your skin, allowing it to effectively address even the most stubborn wrinkles and creases.  

How Long It Lasts  

Results from this hyaluronic acid filler are immediate, and effects last approximately six to twelve months. The gel is gradually broken down by your body over time, leading to a slow reappearance of the wrinkles.

What's The Cost

 Belotero® is $700 per syringe. The number of syringes recommended will depend on the treatment area, your individual needs, and your desired results.

Sculptra cosmetic is a popular choice among facial rejuvenation treatments, specifically designed to correct shallow to deep nasolabial fold contour deficiencies and other facial wrinkles. It is important to note that Sculptra is not injected into the lips or used around the eyes, unlike hyaluronic acid fillers which are often used in those areas.

How It Works

The active ingredient in Sculptra is poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a synthetic compound that promotes the formation of new collagen. Due to this unique mechanism, patients typically require multiple sessions about four to six weeks apart before the results become evident. The number of treatments required will vary based on the individual’s level of facial aging and their response to the injectable dermal fillers.

How Long It Lasts

According to a clinical study published in 2011, the effects of Sculptra can last up to two years after completing the initial treatment sessions, which generally consist of an average of three injections.

What's The Cost

 Sculptra® is $800 per vial. The number of vials recommended will depend on your treatment areas, individual needs, and desired results.

RHA Dermal Fillers are clear, colorless, injectable gels designed for facial rejuvenation treatments, effectively correcting facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds. These hyaluronic acid fillers come in three distinct formulations: RHA 2, RHA 3, and RHA 4.

How It Works

RHA (resilient Hyaluronic acid) fillers are crafted to mimic the natural hyaluronic acid that hydrates your skin. The unique structure of the hyaluronic acid in RHA fillers makes this the first line of injectable dermal fillers specifically engineered to address dynamic wrinkles while preserving natural facial movements.

Unlike other injectable fillers, RHA fillers integrate seamlessly with our facial movements, resulting in a more natural look.

How Long It Lasts

On average, the longevity of RHA fillers is around 15 months. As with other injectable dermal fillers, the duration of effectiveness varies depending on the treatment area—lasting shorter in high-movement areas and longer in static ones.

What's The Cost

 RHA® Collection filler is $700 per syringe. The number of syringes recommended will depend on the treatment area, your individual needs, and your desired results.

The Restylane® family of hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers offers a range of formulations designed to address different areas of the face. Depending on the product selected, Restylane® can be used to restore lost volume, soften the appearance of lines and folds, enhance facial contours, define the lips, and create more balanced facial proportions.

Because different areas of the face require different amounts of structure, flexibility, and movement, we select the specific Restylane® formulation based on your facial anatomy, treatment area, skin quality, and desired result.
