The health care professionals at SkinOvations Skin Care and Laser Center will help you decide which filler is best for your individual needs and aesthetic goals. JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus XC, JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC, JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC, JUVÉDERM VOLLURE ™ XC, JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC, and Restylane-L®, are all safe and FDA-approved to restore volume and fullness to the areas being treated. This restored volume results in a natural, more youthful appearance.

Areas that we treat with Dermal Fillers include:

• Smile Lines: Typically are from the bottom of the nose to the corners of the mouth – also known as “nasolabial folds” or “parenthesis lines”.
• Marionette Lines: Run from the corners of the mouth down toward the chin area. These lines can sometimes cause people to look unhappy or frowning.
• Vertical Lines near the Mouth: These lines are often caused by sun damage, lip movement, smiling, or smoking; these fine vertical lines can develop near and around the lips and mouth.
• Lips
• Additional areas that can be enhanced with dermal fillers include cheeks, chins, noses, fill-in frown lines (the “11s” between the eyebrows), temples, lower eyelids/hollowing under the eyes, acne scars, other scars, and hollowing of the hands.
  
  

• WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?

  Immediately. You may also see some additional swelling due to the injections for the first 2-3 days.

• HOW LONG WILL THESE RESULTS LAST?

  Typically, benefits from fillers last 6-12 months. Individual results will vary and you should discuss this with us when you come in for your treatment. You may need “touch up” treatments to maintain optimal correction of wrinkles.

• TREATMENT TIME

  30-60 minute treatment time with minimal to moderate discomfort. Numbing cream, local anesthetic injections, or ice packs may be used to aid with treatment. Many of the fillers also come mixed with numbing medication (lidocaine) for enhanced patient comfort.

• RECOMMENDED FREQUENCY OF TREATMENTS

  Every 6-12 months.

• MEDICATIONS TO AVOID PRIOR TO TREATMENT

  Discuss with us and your primary physician your exact medication list prior to stopping, but typically avoid your blood thinners (such as aspirin, ibuprofen, alcohol, omegas, flaxseed oil, fish oil, vitamin D3, and vitamin E) for 3-5 days prior to your treatment.

• POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS

  Localized redness, tenderness, swelling, firmness, bumps, discoloration and bruising with very rare possibility of infection.
