Injectable Fillers (Juvederm®, Perlane®, Restylane® and Collagen)

Juvederm®, Perlane® and Restylane® are stabilized forms of hyaluronic acid used in the correction of lines, wrinkles, and folds of the facial skin. These proven non-allergenic, natural cosmetic dermal fillers are used for cosmetic purposes to restore volume and fullness to the skin, thereby improving its appearance. Injectable fillers may also be used to enhance the appearance of the lips and some types of scars.

The filler is injected through an ultra fine needle beneath the surface of the skin, under the wrinkle, where it corrects the line or wrinkle by plumping and smoothing out the skin depression. The filler acts as a natural cosmetic filler to restore volume and fullness to the skin, thereby "softening" and improving its appearance.

Also available, injections of cow- or human-derived collagen may be used in the correction of lines, wrinkles, and folds of the facial skin. Using an ultra fine needle, collagen is injected beneath the surface of the skin under the wrinkle where it corrects the line or wrinkle by plumping and smoothing out the skin depression. Collagen is used for cosmetic purposes as a "filler" substance to restore volume and fullness to the skin, thereby "softening" and improving its appearance. Collagen may also be used to enhance the appearance of the lips and some types of scars.
