Dermal Fillers - Kris M. Reddy MD, FACS

1
Juvederm
Juvederm injectable gel is a dermal filler that
helps to restore your skin's volume and smooth
away facial wrinkles and folds, like your "smile
lines" or "parentheses" (nasolabial folds - the
creases that run from the bottom of your nose to
the corners of your mouth). Juvederm is a smooth
consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid - a
naturally occurring substance in your skin that
helps to add volume and hydration.

Restylane
Restylane is a form of hyaluronic acid, a natural
substance found in our bodies. It is well suited
to plump thin lips and fill facial creases such
as nasolabial folds. It may be appropriate for
some surface wrinkles and concave scars. The
fullness achieved from Restylane treatment may
last 6 months or longer.
3
Radiesse
Radiesse can smooth and enhances key areas of the
face. Radiesse can also Reduce lines between
the nose and mouth and on the upper lip Fill in
the so called "smile lines" annd "frown lines"
Diminish blemishes like acne scars Renew
fullness in the lips Restore the natural
contours of the cheeks
4
Radiesse is a completely synthetic compound
comprised of microspheres of calcium
hydroxylapatite, combined with an aqueous gel.
Calcium is a natural substance already in the
body so Radiesse rarely causes allergic reactions
or inflammation.
5
Hydrelle
Hydrelle is a soft, malleable injectable gel
(similar to juvederm or restylane) designed to
reduce facial wrinkles. Hydrelle immediately adds
a natural fullness and reduces unwanted wrinkles.
6
Perlane
Perlane is made from non-animal stabilized
hyaluronic acid (NASHA) gel. This means that
Perlane contains no animal products. Since
hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in
the skin and other tissue, there is no need for a
skin test when using Perlane filler. The
hyaluronic acid in Perlane supplements the body's
natural supply, which becomes depleted with age.
Perlane is biodegradable so its effects are not
permanent. The results of a Perlane filler
treatment tend to last at least six months. This
is much longer than the typical results of
collagen injections, which may only last three to
six months.

 Tell the medical staff of any recent usage of
Alpha Hydroxy Acids, exfoliants, etc.  Tell the
medical staff if you have bleached, waxed,
tweazed or used depilatory creams 1 2 days

perioral herpes or break out easily around the
mouth or lips, tell the medical as a prophylactic
antiviral therapy (e.g. Valtrex) may be
prescribed prior to treatment.
