Revance

Revance's line of dermal fillers (Redensity, RHA2, RHA3, and RHA4) are designed to restore volume and improve the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Each filler is made with a different type of hyaluronic acid, which helps to ensure that the product is best suited for your individual needs. Revance's fillers are also safe for use in sensitive areas, such as the lips.

  • Redensity is a hyaluronic acid filler that is specifically designed to improve “smoker’s lines.” The unique formula of this filler helps to reduce the appearance of other creases and wrinkles as well.
  • RHA2 is a dermal filler that can help to improve the appearance of superficial lines and wrinkles, as well as deeper wrinkles and folds. It can also help to plump up the lips and add volume to the cheeks. 
  • RHA3 is a hyaluronic acid filler that is designed to improve the appearance of deep wrinkles and fine lines. This filler can also be used to add volume to the lips.
  • RHA4 is a hyaluronic acid filler that is designed to improve the appearance of severe wrinkles and fine lines and can be used in dynamic areas of the face.

About Sculptra, Radiesse and Bellafill

We also offer Sculptra, Radiesse, and Bellafill. These types of fillers are used to add volume to the face, plump lips, smooth lines, and wrinkles, and improve the overall appearance of the skin. Sculptra, Belafill, and Radiesse are some of the most exciting fillers available today. They are helping so many people to look younger by providing volume and lift to the face.

  • Sculptra is made from poly-L-lactic acid, which is a biocompatible substance that helps to stimulate the production of collagen. 
  • Bellafill is made from microspheres of poly methyl methacrylate, which are suspended in a bovine collagen gel. 
  • Radiesse is made from calcium hydroxylapatite, which is a naturally occurring substance found in the body.

These fillers are injected into the skin to help plump up the area and give it a more youthful appearance. They can be used to treat wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin. They can also be used to improve the contours of the face and add volume to areas with age-related volume loss. They are typically injected into the dermis, which is the layer of the skin below the epidermis. The dermis is where most of the collagen in the skin is found. Collagen is what gives the skin its structure and strength. Losing this as we age is what leads to wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin.

Are dermal fillers safe?

When administered by a qualified and experienced medical professional, dermal fillers are generally safe. However, disclosing any medical conditions, medications, or allergies to the provider before treatment is essential.

What is the treatment process like?

During the treatment, the provider will cleanse the treatment area and may apply a topical anesthetic to minimize discomfort. The filler is then injected into the targeted areas using a fine needle or cannula. The procedure typically takes 15-60 minutes, depending on the treated areas.

Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after dermal filler treatment. Some minor swelling, redness, or bruising may occur at the injection sites, but these typically resolve within a few days.

Common side effects may include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, and tenderness at the injection sites. More serious side effects are rare but can include infection, allergic reactions, and vascular complications. It's important to discuss potential side effects with your provider before undergoing treatment.

Who is a good candidate for dermal fillers?

Good candidates for dermal fillers are individuals looking to address signs of aging, volume loss, or specific facial concerns. They should be in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and be willing to follow post-treatment care instructions provided by their healthcare provider.
