Aesthetic Medicine Physicians & Surgeons Erase The Wrinkles Painless Laser Makeovers 
Restylane/Juvederm
RESTYLANE® and JUVEDERM® are the most popular lines of new fillers for deeper wrinkles around the mouth and between the eyebrows and to enhance the lips. They replace the older forms of collagen injections produced from animal products. These products had a very high incidence of allergic reactions and did not last as long as the new fillers. Both fillers have an extremely low incidence of allergic reactions, and last six months to one year in the skin and about three months in the lips. After being injected they can be molded for several days to more precisely fit the contours of the skin.
RESTYLANE® and JUVEDERM® provide instant gratification for our patients and have a huge margin of safety with only occasional posttreatment bruising or swelling. The exception is the lips, which can swell to twice their normal size for several days after injection. Both consist of a highly purified form of hyalouronic acid, which is a major component in the human body’s collagen, so the body does not usually recognize them as a foreign substance. By using a topical numbing agent or dental block prior to treatment most patients tolerate the
procedure very well.
