uvederm™ is the latest FDA approved dermal filler advance from Allergan Inc. JUVÉDERM™ is a "next generation" smooth gel, non-animal dermal filler offering a natural look/feel and long-lasting results for up to six months or longer. JUVÉDERM™ dermal filler lasts long because it's the only dermal filler currently available with the highest concentration of hyaluronic acid and a special formulation process. This process creates a smooth gel that flows easily into the skin, creating smooth, natural looks.
Our plastic surgeons are the first in the Fredericksburg area to launch this product. See our press release regarding our participation in the Juvederm™ patient trial.
estylane is a safe and natural cosmetic dermal filler that restores volume and fullness to the skin to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as the nasolabial folds.
It is the first and only cosmetic dermal filler made of non-animal based hyaluraonic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that already exists in the human body and is used to provide volume and fullness to the skin.
Restylane contrasts from BOTOX therapy which is a drug that blocks nerve transmission and relaxes the underlying muscles. Many patients have been very pleased after receiving treatment with both products. |
You may be a candidate for Restylane if you have wrinkles on your face or around your lips that you want to diminish. Restylane can also be used if you desire to have fuller or more defined lips, if you have deep nasolabial folds (the lines between the nose and the corner of your mouth). Restylane can smooth out, fill in and decrease wrinkles. It is also intended to plump lips and define the edges of lips. Restylane is helpful because it can fill in and reduce the depth of the nasolabial fold and can also fill in depressed, acne scars. Restylane can also be used to restore the "padding" in the lower eyelid which can diminish the appearance of dark circles.
The average treatment results last six months or even longer. Restylane lasts twice as long as collagen, so treatments can typically be scheduled twice a year.

Introducing Perlane®, the Newest Addition to the Restylane® Family of Products
Perlane® is now approved in the U.S. for the treatment of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as the lines from the nose to the corners of your mouth (nasolabial folds). Restylane® is the world's most used, most studied cosmetic dermal filler, and has been used in over 70 countries and in more than 1.4 million treatments in the U.S.
The hyaluronic acid gel in Perlane adds volume and restores surface contours to smooth away moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. Perlane is composed of larger gel particles than Restylane and intended for deeper injection to volumize skin for structural support. The procedure is convenient and non-surgical, and the results are virtually instantaneous.
Fat Injections are also useful in restoring a naturally full look and soft feel to the face, back of the hands and even the buttocks. Fat can fill in hollow areas and creases for a younger and more stabilized apperance. Advantages of using your own fat include: no risk of allergy and nothing is more natural in feel or apperance than human fat. Results can also last from several months to indefinitely.
Please ask about other long-term fillers that may be available and appropriate for your needs.
BOTOX ® Cosmetic is an FDA-approved substance that is injected directly into facial muscles to reduce their movement. It is a highly effective, non-surgical procedure that can dramatically reduce the appearance of wrinkles. The results are apparent within days and can last up to 6 months. The procedure is fast, simple and minimally invasive, with no downtime or recovery.
You may be a candidate for Botox® Cosmetic if you would like to treat facial wrinkles in the forehead, between the eyes and in the “crow’s feet” areas. Botox® Cosmetic works by weakening the muscles that cause facial expressions. Once the treated muscles are weakened, the pull of the muscle relaxes and the overlaying skin flattens. Botox® Cosmetic is utilized to enhance your appearance, and lessen the wrinkles in the upper part of your face.
BOTOX® is also FDA-approved for severe underarm sweating that is inadequately managed with topical agents. BOTOX® helps control this condition by temporarily blocking the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands. When the sweat glands don't receive chemical signals, the severe sweating stops.
