COSMETIC FILLERS

RESTYLANE® and JUVEDERM™
Restylane® and Juvéderm™ are made of hyaluronic acid, a natural compound which is normally found in our skin. As we age, the effects of years of facial muscle movement are visible as laugh lines, crows’ feet around the eyes, and creases near the nose and lips. Restylane® and Juvéderm™ can help fill in these lines and creases, producing a smoother, fuller and more youthful appearance. They can also be used to add more fullness to the lips. The effects are temporary.

Initial Consultation for Restylane® and Juvéderm™ Injections
During your initial consultation with Dr. Naidu, she will discuss with you your desires and expectations from the procedure. This will include a complete medical history and an examination of the skin and soft tissue of the face. Dr. Naidu will suggest a procedure that suits you best and answer any questions that you might have.

Injections Procedure
Both Restylane® and Juvéderm™ are injected using small needles into the deep layer of the skin or lips. The skin is “plumped” and creases and fine lines are filled in. Both products may be used alone or in conjunction with other procedures such as Botox®. The procedure takes 30 minutes to perform, and is done in the office under local anesthesia. The results are visible immediately. No bandaging is necessary, and makeup may be worn the same day.

Post Injection Procedure
Some patients experience bruising for several days after the injections, and therefore you should schedule your injection at least one week in advance of an anticipated event or meeting. The effects of the injection last between four and six months, although this varies between patients.
