Restylane® and JUVEDERM™

Restylane® and JUVEDERM™ are safe and effective ways of achieving a more youthful appearance.  They are common non-surgical method for treating unwanted creases and wrinkles.  Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a natural substance found in all human skin and fills in the space between the collagen and elastin fibres.  Over time, the amount of HA in your body depletes which leads to the formation of the lines and wrinkles. These products are injected in very small amounts beneath the skin’s surface with a very fine needle to help correct skin depressions such as creases, wrinkles as well as folds, scars, degenerative skin aging, and restore lost facial volume due to facial lipoatrophy (loss of fat).
In our experience, patients that undergo multiple treatments have the best, most satisfying results.  The effect of your first HA treatment may last from 3 to 9 months, but this time frame varies from person to person.  Generally, most clients require 2-3 treatments over the first year.  After this initial set of treatments, the enhanced appearance will last much longer.
