Restylane
Restylane is a filler made of a natural, sugar-based, water absorbing gel called hyaluronic acid, which occurs naturally in the body.
In rejuvenating your appearance, surgery has always been the gold standard to lift and sculpt the sagging tissue around the eyes and face. In the 21st century, tissue re-inflation with filler injections has become a main ingredient in the recipe of facial sculpting. There are multiple fillers available today, and are geared toward replacing lost volume and encouraging new collagen production. Injections can be administered all over the face to accomplish an overall improvement in lines, wrinkles and sagging. Common areas for filler injections are the folds next to and below your mouth, underneath your eyelids, into your cheeks, and the lips.
Fillers fall into three categories: temporary, semi permanent, and permanent. Collagen injections are a great example of temporary fillers, lasting about 2 months. Hyaluronic gels, a naturally occurring sugar molecule found in the skin, like Restylane, Versa, and Juvederm, will last 6-12 months. These fillers are excellent for filling in lines and wrinkles as well as plumping up the lips. Radiesse, a gel filler with calcium microspheres, is semipermanent, lasting up to 2 years. In addition to filling in deep wrinkles and folds, Radiesse also promotes new collagen production. It can be used to fill in folds next to your mouth and to replace fat loss in your cheeks and face.
Unlike traditional fillers that add volume and generate instant result, Sculptra is a molecule injected deep under the skin and dissolves over a few weeks. As it breaks down, it turns on the skin's ability to rebuild collagen. Thus with 2 to 3 sets of injections spread out every few weeks, dramatic results can be obtained in sculpting your face.
Finally, no filler conversation is complete without mentioning the most easily obtained filler, your own fat. Fat can be removed really from anywhere in your body, and re-injected to sculpt and re-inflate your facial structures. When transferred properly, the fat can last for years!
