Since the introduction of collagen, many recent advances have been made in the development of injectable filler to treat facial wrinkles and creases.
 
Radiesse is the newest injectable filler available in the United States and is FDA approved for medical purposes. It is made of a smooth substance called hydroxyapatite. As this substance is normally found in our bodies, there is no need for allergy testing. Another benefit of Radiesse is the fact that it lasts up to one year…significantly longer than any other injectable filler. Radiesse is an excellent option for filling deeper creases, such as the smile lines.
 
 Restylane is another injectable filler available in the United States. It is FDA approved for the treatment of facial wrinkles and creases. Like Radiesse, Restylane is made of a normal constituent of our body (hyaluronic acid) and does not require allergy testing. Restylane is versatile; it has been used to treat not only fine wrinkles throughout the face, but also fill deeper creases. Furthermore, Restylane has proven to be an excellent filler material to plump the lips and enhance the lip border. Add a dental block, and filling the lips with Restylane will be a painless experience!
 
These injectable fillers produce immediate results with no downtime.
