Injectable Fillers
Restylane® Injections
Restylane® is a safe and natural cosmetic dermal filler that restores volume and fullness to the skin to correct mild to moderate facial wrinkles and folds from the nose to the corner of the mouth. Restylane is also a very effective way to augment the lips. Restylane is injected directly into the skin in tiny amounts with an ultrafine needle, resulting in minimal discomfort with local anesthesia. The procedure is simple and convenient, and results are practically instantaneous.
Allergy testing is not required; Restylane can be administered immediately with no waiting. Studies have shown that Restylane effects generally last for about six months. Treatments are typically scheduled twice a year. Having a touch-up before the product has fully disipated may enhance the lasting effect.
Restylane is a cosmetic dermal filler made of non-animal based hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that already exists in the human body. Restylane maintains its shape using the body's own moisture.

Radiesse® Injections
Radiesse® is a non-surgical facial contouring filler that delivers an immediate, longer lasting result. Whether you're longing to reverse the common signs of aging or address the lines that can make you look very serious or sad, even when your face is at rest, Radiesse allows you to carefully augment these small lines with only anesthesia with immediate results. Non-surgical facial contouring is a new approach that makes you look and feel younger.
Developed with safety and longevity in mind, Radiesse is a new generation injectable filler that offers superior versatility. What sets Radiesse apart from other dermal fillers is its long-lasting benefits. The longevity of Radiesse averages 11 months in the smile lines and approximately 1 year to 18 months in the nasolabial (cheek) folds.
Radiesse is made of very tiny, smooth calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres. These particles form a scaffold through which your body's own collagen grows, and this produces the desired long-term effect.
Radiesse is an ideal choice for facial shaping and contouring. Call our office today at 770-421-1242 to set up an appointment.
Collagen Injections
The way your skin looks is directly related to the way your skin is supported. Aging, disease, injury - these are some of the factors that can weaken the collagen fibers that give your skin its underlying strength. In the skin, collagen provides texture, resiliency, and shape. When collagen is injected into areas where the body's own collagen has weakened, depressions can be raised to the level of the surrounding skin. Thus, lines and scars can be minimized, texture is improved, and the skin has a softer and more even tone.
Sculptra® and Restylane SubQ
Sculptra® and Restylane SubQ are other injectable materials that can be used for soft tissue augmentation. This adds volume to facial areas such as cheeks, depressions under the eyes and the chin area. Sculptra initiates an expansion of the body's own collagen, resulting in long lasting natural appearing results.
The procedure normally requires at least 2 treatments and the results, although not immediate apparent as it produces volume over several months, can last several years.
Collagen can be particularly effective in smoothing delicate frown lines and smile lines, as well as the fine creases that develop at the corners of the eyes and above and below the lips. It can also help correct certain kinds of shallow scars.
There are three steps involved: a skin test, the treatment series, the periodic touch-ups. Collagen does not last forever, and touch-up injections are usually needed to maintain maximum correction. For more information or to schedule a consultation, call our office at 770-421-1242.
JUVÉDERM® Injectable Gel
JUVÉDERM® is a new filler material made of hyaluronic acid with more crosslinks that may last longer. It is used for smoothing wrinkles and sculpting lips. Results can last 6 months to a year.
