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
elastic 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.
Juvederm is an injectable hyaluronic acid (HA)
filler which was created by the company famous for Botox.
Juvederm aims to soften fine lines and wrinkles. It may be
injected into many different problem areas in different parts of
the body.
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.
Juvederm, 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.
Juvederm, 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 these wrinkle fillers is you can replenish your
natural beauty whenever you feel the need. Unlike permanent implants, both
Juvederm, 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.
