Nowhere has the field of facial plastic surgery exploded over the past several years as in the application of injectable cosmetic fillers. These products which include Juvederm, Restylane, Radiesse, Sculptra and soon Perlane are biocompatible substances that are used for treatment of facial furrows, creases and wrinkles. These substances all have different indications but all share in common a quick and patient friendly application, little or no downtime, and near instantaneous, satisfying results. Depending on which substance is used repeat injections may need to be performed in anywhere from 4 months to 2 years. If you think you may be a candidate for one of these fillers and would like more information about them, please contact us.
