Types of Fillers
Hyaluronic Fillers
- Juvederm is an injectable that comes in gel form. Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid-based (HA) filler. HA is naturally found within the body and is responsible for hydrating and smoothing the skin.
Juvederm is a natural filler that is more commonly used in the lips but can also be applied in the cheeks or any area on the face that is shallow.
The procedure takes fifteen to thirty minutes, with immediately visible results lasting six to nine months.
- Revance is a new HA filler to US markets. It is produced in multiple molecular forms and has amazing spring like deforming and reforming properties. This allows it to blend into the facial motion lines of the patient and move with the patients’s facial movement. It was developed greater than 10 years ago in Europe and has proven to be a great tool in the battle against facial aging.
Microfat Injections
For those that want another option, Dr. Wolin offers microfat injections. Dr. Wolin conducts these procedures under local anesthesia, and they prove effective for long-term improvement. Treatments harvest a small amount of your own fat from your tummy or thigh, purify it, then inject it into the areas of deflation. Because it’s your own body fat, your body won’t reject it. Due to the location of the harvested tissue, this fat is less susceptible to the effects of aging.
Recent reports show microfat transfers result in a high degree of patient satisfaction with few complications. The consensus from medical professionals states these are effective, safe, and promising procedures.[2]
