Want to enhance your lips, or get rid of wrinkles, or reduce the deep creases on the sides of your nose?

Facial wrinkles and creases appear as the underlying collagen and elastin fibers break down with age. The beautiful lips of youth thin over time for the same reason.

Until recently, the most frequently used material for filling facial wrinkles, creases, and lips was injectable collagen. Because bovine collagen is made from cows, some patients were allergic to it and delays in treatment were necessary. Clearly collagen injections are not for everyone.

Now, two new cosmetic dermal fillers have become available. Restylane is the first and only cosmetic dermal filler made of non-animal hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that already exists in the human body and is used to provide volume and fullness to the skin. Radiesse is another new injectable product for lip enlargement and for filling of folds and wrinkles. The advantage of Radiesse is the potential for even longer lasting effect.

Both Restylane and Radiesse are injected into the skin to lift the wrinkle, soften the crease, and to augment the lip. Once in the skin, these implants re-create volume, resulting in a healthy and vital appearance. In the lips, they restore a more natural, youthful, and sensuous look.

Both Restylane and Radiesse are not extracted from animals so there is no risk of allergic reaction. They are perfectly safe to use instantly without pre-testing. The average treatment lasts six months or even longer. By experience, these products last two to four times as long as regular collagen.

The great thing about Restylane and Radiesse is you can replenish your natural beauty whenever you feel the need. Unlike permanent implants, both Restylane and Radiesse always leave you a choice when the effect of the treatment has worn off. A touch-up can be performed any time you like or whenever you feel the need to look your very best.
