Injectable Fillers
Facial fillers, which are also known as “dermal fillers” and “injectables,” are temporary products administered on specific areas of the face to recreate volume. Dermal fillers are used to recreate volume in the face and to plump out lines and wrinkles caused by the aging process. These lines can be caused by environmental damage, poor lifestyle choices and sun damage.
What does it do?
Various types of facial fillers are available; each is designed with one or several purposes, such as wrinkle reduction and lip enhancement. Dr Raspaldo will decide with you which facial filler will provide you with optimal and rejuvenating results.
Treatment
Dr Raspaldo will use either or a combination of Voluma® (used for volume replacement.) and Juvéderm® ULTRA which is an advanced, cohesive, 3D hyaluronic acid matrix dermal filler.
The results are visible immediately, with the full effect showing once any swelling and bruising has subsided.
How long does the procedure take?
The procedure takes 15-45 minutes and can be a combined in the same session with wrinkle treatment and volume restoration to acheive an effective and pleaseing result.
After Treatment
Many people go straight back to normal daily life afterwards, although if a large area is treated it can take 1-5 days to recover.
How long does it last?
Typically, the results of dermal fillers can last one to one and a half years but this varies from one person to another.
Other facts
Dr Raspaldo is the first to use Juvéderm® ULTRA in a scientific study. Dr Raspaldo and collegues have proven by scientific study that Juvéderm® ULTRA can last up to about 18 months. Other hyaluronic acids last about 12 months.
