What are the different Fillers?
Juvederm® is a delicate Filler perfect for accomplishing the subtle, natural-looking results most clients’ desire. It helps age-proof the entire mouth area, which is one of the first parts of the face to show signs of aging.
Volumais® the first filler formulated with lidocaine that is FDA approved to restore age-related volume changes in the cheeks. Unlike other fillers commonly used to treat the midface, Voluma is a hyaluronic acid (HA) filler. HA fillers are made from long chains of sugars that occur naturally in the skin. Voluma is unique in that the HA is cross-linked through a process called Vycross that helps provide an excellent lifting capacity. This special cross-linking also helps to avoid degradation, making Voluma last almost twice as long as other fillers. Studies have shown that it can last up to 2 years. And since it is an HA filler, it can be molded and shaped into the desired contour after injection.
Volbella® is a Hyaluronic Acid filler just like Juvederm and Voluma, but its unique properties make it ideal in treating both the fine lines around your mouth as well as bringing natural fullness to the lips. Volbella is an ultra-smooth gel, which delivers a natural look and feel the lip area without the swelling received from more traditional fillers.
Vollure® is a Hyaluronic Acid Filler that reduces the appearance of more severe facial folds and lines around the mouth and nose. Vollure® produces subtle and long-lasting results for up to 18 months.
