FILLERS & VOLUMIZERS Stamp out - and plump up - the signs of aging

As we age, our skin changes. Over time the natural volume of youthful skin begins to diminish as wrinkles and folds form. But, with a variety of dermal fillers and volumizers you don't have to sit back and watch that happen!

Injectable fillers are used to soften and contour lines, folds and wrinkles by injecting a solution into the skin to add volume and create a more youthful appearance. We have many options so you can choose the one that's right for you. Ask about our "non-surgical injectable facelift".

COLLAGEN

Collagen is one of the key elements that keep our skin looking young, firm and smooth. Every time you smile, squint, or frown you put stress on the underlying collagen in the skin, which results in the development of facial lines. In addition, collagen is depleted naturally as you age, leaving many yearning for the plump and youthful skin they remember.

Collagen Replacement Therapy offers immediate and dramatic results for those unhappy with the early signs of aging and is used as a non-surgical method to smooth out facial lines, wrinkles, plump up lips and fill in scars.

Collagen Replacement Therapy produces results that can be seen and felt instantly and leaves you with a refreshed and more youthful looking skin.

JUVÉDERM™ PLUS & ULTRA PLUS The newest injectable filler

Juvéderm™ is used to smooth out wrinkles, plump lips, remove smile lines, nasolabial folds and acne scars.

Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in our body and helps maintain youthful, elastic skin; however, we lose it as we age. Juvéderm™ injections contain a hyaluronic acid gel, a natural complex sugar that bolsters elasticity. It's injected below the skin's surface to cushion and hydrate the skin, leaving it smoother, more supple and more refreshed looking - immediately.

The pliant gel provides a smoother, more natural-looking appearance than some of the more rigid treatments and is thought to last longer. After six to twelve months, the biocompatible compound is naturally absorbed into the body.

Juvéderm™ - can last up to one year.    Back to top ^

RESTYLANE® and PERLANE® Non-animal based dermal fillers

If you want to enhance your lips or get rid of wrinkles and you're allergic or fearful of using bovine collagen, then these natural products may be your answer.

Restylane® and Perlane® are safe and natural cosmetic dermal fillers that restore volume and fullness to the skin.

Restylane® and Perlane® were the first dermal fillers made of non-animal based hyaluronic acid… a natural substance that already exists in the human body and is used to provide volume and fullness to the skin. These products contain hyaluronic acid in the form of a crystal-clear gel, which is injected into the skin to lift the lip, wrinkle or fold. Once in your skin, they create volume, resulting in a healthy and vital appearance. When injected into the lip, they can restore a more natural and sensuous look.

Restylane® can last twice as long as collagen, so treatments are typically scheduled twice a year.   Back to top ^

SCULPTRA™ Facial contouring and volumizing for hands

Well, Sculptra™ is here to help. It's a sculpting agent that corrects the signs of facial fat loss by using a safe, synthetic material [Poly-L-lactic acid] that is injected deep into your skin. Once it's injected, the body will then build collagen up around it, causing your skin tissue to thicken and, ultimately, fill in any facial depressions.

And, Poly-L-lactic acid is very safe - it's the same material used in dissolvable stitches and soft tissue implants and a natural form of Poly-L-lactic acid is produced in our muscles during exercise so it can easily be dissolved by the body.

Sculptra™ is the first FDA-approved product of its kind to restore and/or correct the signs of facial fat loss, or lipoatrophy, in people with human immunodeficiency virus.

The results speak for themselves - Sculptra™ provides up to an 80% improvement in the treated areas and lasts up to two years or more by actually stimulating collagen growth as it is broken down by the body. This produces a gradual and significant increase in skin thickness. When the benefits of other dermal fillers begin to fade in a couple months, Sculptra™ will actually still be improving your skin's volume and youthful appearance.

One more thing to think about…
We, Drs. Isaacson and Berzin, are in the forefront of non-surgical facial rejuvenation and have developed a unique approach to reverse the signs of aging. We are breaking new ground by combining the skin tightening effects of Thermage™ with the contouring benefits of Sculptra™. They are highly complimentary and, when strategically used with one another, the results are outstanding.   Back to top ^
