If you are interested in more dramatic results than can be obtained with over-the-counter anti-aging products, but you’re definitely not quite ready for an invasive cosmetic procedure, dermal fillers can provide the perfect middle ground.
Dermal Fillers Thousand Oaks & Los Angeles
What are Dermal Fillers?
Where neuromodulators address dynamic lines, dermal fillers are engineered to erase static lines or those that form over time as a result of the aging process. Fillers can not only smooth wrinkles but also plump the lips, improve definition in the jawline, and combat fat volume loss that leaves the facial contours looking dull and hollow.
Many fillers are formulated with hyaluronic acid, a compound found naturally in the human body. HA binds with water molecules, plumping and firming the skin from within. Because HA is a biocompatible substance, there are typically no negative reactions with dermal fillers. Best of all, they can be administered over your lunch break, allowing you to quickly and easily return to your normal activities.
What are the Most Popular and Effective Dermal Fillers Offered?
The Restylane Family:
Kysse – Kysse is a new FDA-approved filler for the lips. Engineered with hyaluronic acid, it helps ease fine lip lines and enhance lip color while also boosting lip volume. Most importantly, Kysse is designed to help preserve your natural facial movements, blending seamlessly with your lip tissue. Results can last up to one year.
Lyft – Lyft is FDA-approved to correct a loss of volume in the cheeks, midface, or hands. It can also address nasolabial folds and other facial lines and creases. Like other fillers, it is made with hyaluronic acid, which helps it to integrate naturally with the skin, restoring a youthful and radiant countenance.
Refyne – Refyne is made with XpressHAn Technology, which crosslinks molecules to form a more natural-looking gel that will preserve your individual facial expressions even while the filler works to reduce the signs of aging. Refyne can beautifully reduce nasolabial folds and marionette lines while giving you the flexibility to smile, laugh, and frown as much as you like.
Defyne – Defyne can be used to contour the jawline and cheeks, remove deep creases, and reverse nasolabial folds and marionette lines. Like Refyne, it is engineered with XpressHAn Technology, which ensures you will always look just like yourself after treatment, only more well-rested, relaxed, and youthful.
Silk – As among the newer fillers on the market, Silk is designed to augment the lips and reduce smokers’ lines around the mouth. It is made with hyaluronic acid, which helps to hydrate the lips and produce a more supple smile. Silk can also be used to treat wrinkles surrounding the eyes and superficial acne scars.
The Juvederm Family:
Vollure – Vollure, an HA-based filler, can help reduce the appearance of moderate wrinkles, lines, and folds in the lower face. Patented Vycross technology is used to crosslink the hyaluronic acid chains, combining high and low molecular weights. This allows Vollure to integrate with your existing skin structures undetected for a natural, healthy-looking glow. Results can last up to 18 months.
Voluma – Voluma restores age-diminished facial volume and provides a natural lift for the cheeks and midface using hyaluronic acid. Results are instantaneous and can last up to two years, making Voluma among the longest-lasting fillers on the market today. Many clients report looking up to 5 years younger with Voluma injections.
Volbella – Volbella is ideal for non-surgical lip augmentation. It not only firms and enhances the lips but also smooths away lip lines that form with age. Volbella’s unique cross-linking of shorter hyaluronic acid chains means that it flows more naturally and cohesively, leading to an authentically beautiful and youthful smile. It can also address the vermillion lip border and treat the downturned corners of the mouth.
Belotero – Belotero is designed to smooth away mild to moderate wrinkles, lines, and creases around the mouth and lips and beneath the eyes (tear troughs.) Made with HA, Belotero integrates seamlessly with your existing facial tissue, making it an ideal choice for fine lines that are difficult to erase with over-the-counter products. After Belotero, you can expect to see a smoother, softer complexion with fewer etched-in lines.
