Injectable Fillers in Minneapolis, MN
Restylane® is the first cosmetic dermal filler made of non-animal-based hyaluronic acid. Approved by the FDA, Restylane® is designed to match your skin, smoothing wrinkles, sculpting lips or shaping facial contours. With its unique ability to bind with water, Restylane® is able to perform for many months in your skin. The most common areas for a Restylane® treatment are the glabellar lines (between the eyebrows) and the nasolabial folds (from the root of the nose to the angle of your mouth). When used for lips or facial contouring, Restylane® will add shape and volume to the area. Restylane® is able to create volume under your wrinkles, which are then lifted up and smoothed out. The hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that already exists in the human body and is used to provide moisture and fullness to the skin. The average treatment results may last approximately 6 months or even longer.
Perlane® is a cosmetic dermal filler to help restore volume and fullness to the moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. Perlane® comes from the same company as Restylane®,, but is used for the deeper injections.
Radiesse™ is a completely synthetic compound comprised of micro spheres of calcium hydroxyl apatite, combined with aqueous gel. Calcium is a natural substance already in the body, so Radiesse™ causes no allergic reactions or inflammation. In fact, the basic element in Radiesse™ has been safely used by the medical profession for more than 25 years. When injected, the cream-like texture of Radiesse™ feels soft and natural. Unlike products that lose their effectiveness within only a few months, Radiesse™ may provide years of rejuvenation with intermittent touch ups. It is gradually replaced by the body's own tissue, and slowly dissolves away over years. The results may last approximately 2-3 years.
Juvéderm™ is a smooth consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid—a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration. Your healthcare professional eases Juvéderm™ injectable gel under the skin to provide a smooth, natural look and feel—so everyone will notice (but no one will know)! Juvéderm™ injectable gel is the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler that is proven to be safe and effective for persons of color. Recently approved by the FDA, Juvéderm™ injectable is primarily used for finer wrinkles.
