Facial and Lip Fillers and Injectables:

Come celebrate the beauty of facial rejuvenation.  Facial fillers serve as a marvelous gift for yourself or a friend.  They require no surgery and minimal downtime.  Our three most popular fillers are:  RadiesseTM, RestylaneTM, and JuvedermTM.

RadiesseTM is a smooth cream substance made from calcium hydroxyapatite that is commonly used for correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds.  This product is also used to increase lip volume and improve lip wrinkles.  RadiesseTM is FDA approved and is widely used as a structural filler to areas such as the cheeks, nasolabial folds, brows, and prejowl depressions.  The aging process causes fat atrophy and loose skin.  RadiesseTM will "plump" these areas with fullness resulting in a more youthful appearance.  RadiesseTM stimulates collagen formation and can last up to 1-2 years depending on the area injected. The price is $1200 for one syringe.

RestylaneTM

RestylaneTM is made from hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the human body that provides fullness and volume to the skin.  This FDA approved product is a clear gel commonly used to correct finer lines and folds.  RestylaneTM can be used to lift corners; provide lip enhancement; and provide lip border definition-making lipstick application easier and more defined.  RestylaneTM can last up to 4-6 months depending on the area injected. The price is $500 for one syringe. 



JuvedermTM

JuvedermTM is the most exciting injectable yet.  Similar to RestylaneTM, JuvedermTM is made from hyaluronic acid but is formulated to last twice as long. JuvedermTM is produced through HYLACROSSTM technology creating a higher degree of cross linking to promote a longer lasting product with a smoother consistency gel. JuvedermTM also provides fullness and volume to wrinkles, lines and folds. Like RestylaneTM, JuvedermTM has many lip applications and is considered to leave a smoother and softer feeling.  It is a very popular filler in Europe and Canada and recently was approved by the FDA for use in the United States for experienced injectors.  JuvedermTM can last up to 8-12 months, depending on the area injected. Juvederm UltraTM is $600 for one syringe and Juvederm Ultra PlusTM is $650 for one syringe.
