What does the treatment process involve?

Normally, injections of both Juvederm™ and Restylane™, or Perlane™ are made more comfortable by the application of a numbing cream and a bit of waiting until it works on the patient. As a result of the numbing cream, the patient feels less uncomfortable when the tiny needle goes into the skin.

Once the numbing cream has numbed area in the required fashion, the physician cleans the patient's skin with a disinfectant and proceeds to fill the relevant treatment areas in a very slow, gentle and meticulous manner, and uses a gentle amount of pressure. This injecting movement is not regarded as an uncomfortable sensation since it is mixed with a local anesthetic, a process which doctors have been doing for the past few years. As a matter of fact, both Juvederm™ and Restylane™ now come pre-mixed with an anesthetic in the syringe. That, as a result, makes the procedure more comfortable.

The process of the filler injections normally involves the patient sitting in a somewhat erect position to bring out the clear and real effects of gravity.

A re-evaluation of the results is performed throughout the course of the several minute treatments, and thereafter, ice packs are normally applied for one or two minutes.

Dermal fillers like Restylane™, Juvederm™, and Perlane™ all work to enhance facial contours through the application of filler substance that effectively plumps the dermis, which sits just below the outermost layer of skin. Using a tiny needle, your clinician precisely injects filler, thus correcting the aesthetic concerns that brought you into our office. Whether you have acne scars to address, or wish to diminish deep creases or wrinkles, there is a dermal filler that will be suitable for your situation. The results achieved from a filler injected in such a manner will last anywhere between six and 12 months.
