As winter draws to a close, and you prepare for the new spring season, you might notice a few more wrinkles on your face. As the snow melts and the temperature begins to climb, people will spend more time outside. If you feel that you want to greet spring looking younger than you did in the winter, consider injectable fillers. Just as surely as the snow will melt, injectable fillers will keep you looking your best.
As technology has improved, using injectable fillers that act faster, less invasively, and more effectively are what people are after. Depending on what your face needs will depend on the type of injectable filler used.
- Radiesse uses calcium hydroxylaptite microspheres and can last up to two years. This is good for wrinkles around the nasolabial folds, the area around your nose and mouth.
- Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm, and Hylaform are made of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in your body, but these injectable fillers replace the hyaluronic acid much more quickly. These can be used to smooth out moderate to severe wrinkles and folds in your face.
- Sculptra is made from poly-L-lactic acid, and is used to correct facial fat loss (lipoatrophy). Sculptra can be used to give sunken cheeks, hollow eyes, and indentations a fuller, healthier looking face.
An advantage of using these injectable fillers is how fast each procedure is done. Injectable filler procedures can be accomplished in as little as twenty minutes. Because of the less invasive nature of this procedure, you can show your new wrinkle-free face on the same day you go to see Dr. Placik. No longer will you have to spend days recovering from surgery. And, while the results are temporary, they can last up to two years, depending on which injectable filler you and Dr. Placik decide is the right one. You won’t be disappointed in the results of these fast acting, effective injectable fillers.
Please contact our Arlington Heights or Chicago offices for more information on these injectable fillers.
