Dermal Fillers

Restylane®, Juvederm®, Perlane®, and Radiesse® are all common types of injectable dermal fillers available today. They are all highly biocompatible making them safe and simple treatments to revitalize your facial appearance by increasing volume in the face. It is very common to couple a Botox® treatment with any of these fillers.

Restylane® and Juvederm® are clear injectable gels produced with stabilized, hyaluronic acid and water. Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the body, however, over time its synthesis diminishes. By replenishing nature’s supply of hyaluronic acid, Restylane® or Juvederm® revitalize and plump up the skin, instantly diminishing the appearance of lines and giving a softer look. Results with these fillers are expected to last 6 months or more. Fillers are expected to last 4-6 months or even longer but varies patient to patient.

Perlane® is another dermal filler that was approved by the FDA in May of 2007. It has large gel particles that can reach the deep layers of the skin, allowing for enhanced volume capabilities. Using their clinical and aesthetic judgment, the RoxSpa practitioners may choose Perlane® to soften more prominent wrinkles, more severe facial folds, to augment thin lips or to improve facial scarring, including acne scarring.

Radiesse® is an injectable facial filler composed of calcium hydroxylapatite. Like hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite is biocompatible, so it is safely used in the body. One potential advantage of Radiesse® is that its effect can last up to two to three years. It is the only filler that immediately replenishes lost volume and stimulates the production of your own natural collagen for long-lasting results. It is clinically proven to last a year or more in many patients.
