Juvaderm Ultra/Ultra Plus is the latest member of the hyaluronic acid family that provides a smooth and durable result. Recently approved in the United States, Juvederm has had extensive experience throughout Europe.
Sculptra is a product composed of poly-l-lactic acid, and absorbable material that has been used for many years. As the product degrades, a collagen response results in fullness in the treated area. This takes weeks to months to see the full effect of the product. Sculptra became FDA-approved for the treatment of hollowing or thinning of the face secondary to medical illness.
Artefill is a product that combines polymethyl methacylan and collagen. As the collagen is absorbed it is replaced with a person’s own collagen and is thought to be permanent. It usually takes 2-3 treatments for this benefit.
Radiesse is a filler composed of calcium hydroxyappetite, a natural, long-lasting product that can augment the cheeks, fill in deep wrinkles and slightly upturn the corners of the mouth in aging patients.
