If a softer, younger look is your goal, dermal fillers can be the answer. Used to plump out smile lines, lips and moderate-to-deep skin creases, these gel-based products restore fullness to areas where collagen has been depleted. Atlantis will customize a program to deliver results that typically last 6 to 12 months.

Restylane and Juvederm are classified as cosmetic fillers. These are probably the most exciting non-surgical advancements in facial rejuvenation today. While there are numerous injectable fillers on the market today, many of them have their drawbacks, ranging from allergic reactions to short life spans. Restylane and Juvederm are safe and natural.

In 1996, Swedish biotechnology company Q-Med created a genetically engineered version of hyaluronic acide (Restylane). Hyaluronic acide is a polysaccharide, or natural sugar, that is found largely in the skin. Its primary function is to provide volume and pliability to the skin. The unique characteristic of hyaluronic acid is its ability to bind with water up to 1000 times its volume. This property makes it ideal as a filler agent for smooth and even results.

Facial Filler applications include:

• Wrinkle correction
• Lip augementation and enhancement
• Correcting nasolabial folds and treating deformities
• Shaping the cheeks and mouth for facial contour

Facial Filler benefits include:

• No skin test necessary
• Lasts up to 60 percent longer than collagen fillers with higher degree of patient satisfaction

Restylane and Juvederm are now available at Atlantis MediSpa.

An ultrafine needle is used to inject the product directly into the skin in tiny amounts, resulting in minimal discomfort. The procedure is simple and convenient and the results are instantaneous. To optimize your comfort during the short procedure, we anesthetize the area by applying some numbing cream to the treatment location. A great deal of artistry, skill and attention to detail are required when working with the subtleties of facial enhancement. Dr. Gonzalez and the staff at Atlantis can help you decide whether a facial filler is right for you. To schedule an appointment for Restylane or Juvederm, please contact us.
