Injectables each share a few things in common: they are quick, virtually painless treatments injected just beneath your skin to reduce signs of aging and enhance certain facial features. Where they differ is their formulations, longevity and how they work to soften pesky lines and wrinkles and other signs of aging that occur as you get older. At the Anti-Aging Clinic of Northwest Florida, we offer an array of dermal filler and neuromodulator options that are uniquely formulated to tackle different aging concerns with immediate, natural and lasting results.
Dermal fillers are most effective for treating static wrinkles, or the lines that appear as a result of collagen loss over time. Dynamic wrinkles are the folds and creases that form when you make certain facial expressions and generally occur around the forehead and eyes. Dermal fillers will not correct dynamic wrinkles, but they can be combined with neuromodulators. Neuromodulators we offer including Botox, Dysport and Xeomin relax the facial muscle activity that creates dynamic wrinkles in the upper face. When used in combination with dermal fillers, patients can address multiple wrinkle-concerns in one sitting. Neuromodulators may last up to four months before a maintenance treatment will be necessary.
The original Restylane formula continues to be a popular option for addressing moderate to severe facial lines and folds. In some patients, we may also utilize this filler for lip enhancement. Restylane provides results that can last up to six months or more for most of our patients.
Cheek hollows are a common aging concern, and Restylane Lyft was created to reverse this descent and restore youthful volume to the midface. The formulation can also reduce nasolabial folds and other lines around the nose and mouth while adding fullness. Results can last up to 12 months, depending on your concerns.
Also designed with advanced HA cross-linking technology, Restylane Defyne treats even deeper wrinkles around the nose and mouth. Despite the dramatic transformation it offers in those aging symptoms, your ability to make your regular facial expressions will not be compromised after treatment with this formula.
Revanesse Versa is an HA-based filler that is highly effective at wrinkle reduction, including mild to moderate marionette lines, nasolabial folds and undereye bags. Versa utilizes an advanced and proprietary HA formulation that is manufactured to capture only highly spherical HA molecules. These molecules lead to enhanced volumizing effects with longer-lasting results. Versa delivers immediate, visible outcomes that can last six months or longer before your next Versa appointment.
Belotero Balance contains a smooth, flexible gel composed of HA that works to blend into the natural structure of your skin and fill in moderate to severe wrinkles. It’s delicate and versatile formulation makes it an ideal option for filling nasolabial folds around the mouth as well as sensitive areas such as fine lines around the lips. Results can last up to six months or more before a touch-up treatment is needed.
The original Restylane formula continues to be a popular option for addressing moderate to severe facial lines and folds. In some patients, we may also utilize this filler for lip enhancement. Restylane provides results that can last up to six months or more for most of our patients.
Sculptra works a bit differently from other injectables, producing subtle results over time as it works with the natural processes of the skin to turn back time on your complexion. The primary function of Sculptra is to stimulate new collagen production through its active ingredient poly-L-lactic acid. While results are not instant, once they do appear, they will last up to two years.
