Injectable Fillers

Home/Non-Surgical/Injectable Fillers

We are pleased to offer the latest dermal fillers available, including Restylane®, Sculptra®, and JUVÉDERM®. All of these fillers use hyaluronic acid or hydroxy apatite, natural substances that exist in all human tissues, to help plump and smooth moderate to severe wrinkles in just minutes. 

Unlike the earlier collagen fillers, these newer injectables should not cause an allergic reaction and do not require skin testing. That means you can have enviable results without the wait. In addition, many of these fillers can be helpful for younger patients who want to potentially prevent signs of aging from developing.

Restylane®

Restylane®, the trademark name of one of the best known dermal fillers, has safely been used throughout the world in millions of treatments. Made of a natural substance found in your body called hyaluronic acid, this FDA-approved product can restore volume and fullness to your skin, correcting moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. It most often is used to correct your smile lines, the “nasolabial folds” that run from your nose to the corners of your mouth and to add more volume to your lips. You’ll likely see the effects of Restylane® immediately and you can resume normal activities right after the procedure.

We offer a number of other products in the Restylane® family at JEV Plastic Surgery & Medical Aesthetics:

Restylane® Lyft

Restylane® Lyft is a versatile dermal filler used to restore volume and lift sagging skin in various areas of the face, and it can also be used on the hands. When administered by a professional, Restylane® Lyft can provide a subtle and youthful rejuvenation, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and enhancing facial contours. Its results generally last around six to nine months.

Restylane® Defyne

Restylane® Defyne was developed to soften deep laugh lines and nasolabial folds while maintaining natural facial expressions. It uses cross-linked hyaluronic acid to encourage flexibility and support, typically resulting in a smoother facial aesthetic. In many cases, patients can enjoy the results of Restylane® Defyne for up to a year.

Restylane® Contour

Restylane® Contour was formulated to enhance and define facial contours, such as the cheeks, chin, and jawline. The only cheek filler designed with XpresHAn Technology, it can help achieve a sculpted and harmonious facial appearance with improved volume and structure. Restylane® Contour typically lasts for a year, though it can last as long as 18 months.

Restylane® Refyne

The innovative Restylane® Refyne utilizes cross-linked hyaluronic acid to provide natural-looking results with enhanced flexibility and movement. It can be used to address moderate facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds. Its results can remain noticeable for approximately a year.

Tear Trough Treatment

Smoothing of the grooves under the eyes (called the tear trough) is a very contemporary method for freshening the lower eyelid area. The technique for placing filler in the tear trough blends the junction between the lower eyelid and the cheek, resulting in a fresher appearance and less shadowing that can contribute to an aged and tired appearance. This procedure takes approximately 15 minutes.

JUVÉDERM®

The makers of BOTOX® Cosmetic now offer their own FDA-approved injectable dermal filler: JUVÉDERM®. Made of injectable gel that contains hyaluronic acid, it’s the first injectable to have a smooth gel-like consistency, and the first to be found safe and effective for people of color. This latest-generation filler can produce immediate results and last up to six months. 

We’re pleased to offer these JUVÉDERM® fillers to our patients:

JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus XC

With JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC, you can enjoy the same great benefits of JUVÉDERM®, but with results that typically last longer. JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC is specially formulated with lidocaine, as well, so patients can be more comfortable during treatment. Most patients experience results that last up to about a year, creating a smoother, fuller, more youthful appearance that can last.

Similar to JUVÉDERM® and JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC, JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus XC is a hyaluronic acid-based filler that can smooth fine lines and wrinkles and create a subtle lift to treated areas. However, JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus XC has a unique consistency that allows it to treat deeper, stubborn lines more effectively than other JUVÉDERM® products. Results can typically last up to a year. Containing lidocaine, this injectable dermal filler can offer a more comfortable treatment, as well.

JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA XC

As the only cosmetic injectable that is FDA-approved specifically for augmenting the cheeks and midface, JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA XC can help restore volume and create a refreshed and youthful appearance to your face. Adding fullness to the cheeks with JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA XC also has an added benefit of reducing any wrinkles in the midface area. Patients should begin to see results immediately after treatment, and can enjoy fuller, more contoured cheeks for up to two years.

JUVÉDERM® VOLUX XC

JUVÉDERM® Volux is a specialized filler specifically designed to define the jawline and chin area. Sporting a robust and highly cohesive solution, JUVÉDERM® Volux can improve facial harmony and create a more balanced aesthetic. This product is also known to produce effects that can last from a year and a half to two years.

Sculptra® Aesthetic

With results that can last for a remarkable two to five years, Sculptra® Aesthetic can help you to restore fullness to your face for a revitalized look. Although results from this FDA-approved injectable might not be immediately evident, you should notice gradual improvement over time. Designed to stimulate collagen production in targeted areas, Sculptra® Aesthetic is ideal for improving volume where the face might appear hollow as a result of the aging process. As the collagen begins to regrow, the treatment area will appear fuller, and wrinkles will consequently be smoothed.

Revanesse®

Like those listed above, Revanesse® is a popular family of dermal fillers composed of hyaluronic acid. With an advanced formula and precise manufacturing process, Revanesse® is known for its versatility and natural-looking results. The products are formulated with a special particle size, which often makes for a more comfortable procedure.

Revanesse® Versa

Revanesse® Versa can effectively address moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds and marionette lines. The effects of Revanesse® Versa usually last for six months to a year, and swelling is typically less prevalent than with other dermal fillers.

Revanesse® Lips+

Revanesse® Lips+ is used to plump and replenish volume in the lips, creating a more aesthetically pleasing pout. Like Revanesse® Versa, Revanesse® Lips+ is formulated meticulously to provide both natural-looking effects and a quicker, more comfortable experience for patients. The treatment sports a success rate of more than 96%.*

What to Expect During Your Appointment for Injectable Fillers

During your skin care treatment, you can relax in our comfortable, meticulously clean surroundings while enjoying a complimentary beverage.

All of the injectable treatments involve using a tiny needle to inject small amounts of fillers. You may choose to have the affected area numbed with anesthetic to minimize any discomfort. The procedure itself takes only a few minutes, and your entire visit usually takes about half an hour. Following the procedure, one of our skilled, experienced registered nurses will apply an ice compress to cool your skin and reduce swelling. If you wish, we’ll assist you with your make-up following the procedure. 

Potential Side Effects of Injectable Fillers

All injectable treatments may cause mild side effects, such as irritation, swelling, itching, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site. While allergic reactions are extremely uncommon and usually resolve in a few days without intervention, the staff at our office is always available to answer your skin care questions or assist you. You should avoid sunbathing and outdoor activities in the cold until any redness or swelling disappears.
