After your treatment, results are visible immediately. For the first 1-2 weeks, it is normal to experience side effects such as swelling, bruising, redness, or tenderness at the injection site. To ensure that you are a good candidate for hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, your provider will have an in-depth consultation with you prior to treatment.

They are all used to target multiple facial concerns, including moderate to severe wrinkles, facial folds, and, in some cases, lips. Restylane® Defyne is used to target facial wrinkles and folds, as well as the chin. Chin augmentation using Restylane® Devyne balances the profile for patients with chin retrusion.

How does it work?

The Restylane® family of fillers is composed of non-animal hyaluronic acid and is developed to mimic the hyaluronic acid that occurs naturally in the human body. Restylane® fillers vary in volume and texture in order to take on the natural look and feel of the treated area.

How long does it last?

The duration of results may vary based on the treated area and the degree of correction. With full treatment, some results can last as long as 12-18 months, however maintenance appointments within 6-9 months are typically recommended.

Manufacturer

Merz

About Radiesse®

The main structural protein in the body is collagen, which keeps the skin youthful. Through the natural process of aging, collagen production slows, leaving the skin to sag and wrinkles to form. Radiesse is a nonsurgical procedure that adds immediate volume while also stimulating the skin's natural collagen production process.

What can I expect?

Radiesse is a non invasive procedure with virtually no downtime. Appoints are typically only 30 minutes long, and patients are able to return to their daily routine immediately after treatment.

Targeted areas

Targeted areas for Radiesse include smile lines, marionette lines, pre-jowl folds, corners of the mouth, chin wrinkles, and back of the hands. Your provider will work closely with you to determine the best treatment areas for you.

How does it work?

The active ingredient that works to add volume and stimulate collagen in Radiesse is calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres. Once injected into the desired treatment area, the skin is stimulated to restore it’s youthful appearance.

How long does it last?

Radiesse treatments typically last 12-18 months.
