Lines and wrinkles can age you, making you look older than you feel. While no one can stop the effects of aging, injectables are a great way to smooth out those lines and wrinkles that you already have.
Non-Surgical Treatments for Smile Lines
Hyaluronic acid fillers can be injected into the crease that extends from the nose to the sides of the mouth. It will fill in the creases and smooth out smile lines. You’ll see a difference immediately – and the effects are reversible. If you don’t like the way you look after the procedure, your doctor can inject hyaluronidase to reverse the effects.
About Restylane®
As you age, your skin loses hyaluronic acid, removing moisture, creating the way for wrinkles and decreasing volume. Restylane® replaces your natural hyaluronic acid stores to smooth imperfections and plump the skin. Restylane® is a hyaluronic acid treatment that not only smooths away lines and wrinkles but also appears to slow down aging itself. This injectable dermal filler assists with the skin’s natural hydration process, producing a more youthful appearance.
The ingredients in Restylane® are all natural, so the body can naturally absorb the product. Restylane® will generally last for six to nine months.
About Juvèderm® Voluma
Juvéderm® Voluma is another hyaluronic acid filler that treats the loss of skin fullness in the mid-face and cheeks. It is a thick hyaluronic based gel that will re-fill areas that aging has caused to deflate. Voluma® may give the appearance of reversing the aging process, and you will notice the results immediately. It is the longest lasting of the FDA approved facial fillers, with results lasting up to two years or more.
Voluma is pre-mixed with lidocaine, which is a numbing agent, so most patients find the treatment to be very comfortable.
