Why Dermal Fillers are the new Facelift

Dermal Fillers have been around for nearly 2 decades and each company continues to come out with better dermal fillers that last longer and do more.  It is because of this that dermal fillers have become an alternative to surgical procedures such as face-lifts.  The first cosmetic dermal filler on the market was Restylane, since then  Perlane, Belotero, Radiesse, Juvederm UltraXC, Juvederm Ultra PlusXC and Juvederm Voluma have all come onto the market. In our Orlando medical spa Winter Park Laser dermal fillers have become the hottest aesthetic trend in the US over the past five years.
So what is a dermal filler? Dermal filler helps to diminish facial lines & replace volume in the face because as we age the face naturally breaks down fat.  Then the facial skin is stretched out and sags. Dermal fillers can be very helpful in those with early signs of aging.
So why are dermal fillers the new facelift? Cosmetic dermal fillers require no downtime and give amazing results by filling in volume lost in the cheeks, lips, and smile lines as well as erasing wrinkles, or filling in deep scars.  The #1 cosmetic dermal filler in the United States is Juvederm Ultra PlusXC by Allergan.  The beauty of dermal fillers over surgery is that they cost a fraction of the cost, only take 45 minutes to perform, and give an amazing rejuvenation to the face making it look years younger.  The only downside is that they are temporary however there are new longer lasting fillers such as Juvederm VolumaXC.  JUVÉDERM VOLUMA^® XC is the first and only FDA-approved injectable gel to instantly add volume to your cheek area to correct age-related volume loss in adults over the age of 21. It can provide you contour and a subtle lift for up to two years with optimal treatment.

Benefits of JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC

While there is an array of non-surgical cosmetic treatments available in medical spas today, dermal fillers continue to be one of the most popular options.  Dermal fillers have long been used to replace volume int he face to give a more youthful appearance.  Popular dermal fillers include Restylane, Perlane, Radiesse, Belotero and the number 1 used dermal filler JUVÉDERM™ Ultra Plus.  However, there is finally a new dermal filler to add to the mix; JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC which is the first of it's kind and our clients at Winter Park Laser in Orlando are loving.  So with a the choices of dermal fillers it can be difficult to understand which one to choose.  JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC will give a gorgeous instant "liquid face-lift" and rejuvenation to the face of any man or woman.
Let's review the benefits of JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC. Just like the original JUVÉDERM® Ultra & Ultra Plus products, JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC is made of hyaluronic acid (HA) — a naturally occurring substance found in the skin. However, what makes it different from other HA dermal fillers on the market is JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC is the first and only FDA-approved for adding volume to the cheeks and mid-facial region. Additional benefits of the treatment include:

• Its ability to reduce or eliminate moderate to severe lines and wrinkles
• The results are instant and continue to improve for 2-4 weeks after injection
• It's nearly painless due to the lidocaine mixed in for numbing combined with topical numbing options
• It's results have been clinically proven to last 24 months on average
• There is very little downtime or side effects with injections other than possible mild bruising or swelling

Essentially, JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC results that give a "liquid-facelift" appearance to the face and make women and men look younger instantly combined with the fact that it last longer than almost any other dermal filler makes it extremely appealing.

What Dermal Fillers is Right for You?

belotero under eyes A lot of people are looking for new non-invasive ways to look younger and get more volume. Dermal fillers allow for a natural "face-lift" like result without surgery. But what are dermal fillers & what are the differences between the various dermal fillers. I'm often asked in our Medical Spa Winter Park Laser in Orlando which dermal filler is the best? The answer is that there is a correct dermal filler for every person and need and not all sizes fit everyone. What is a dermal filler? A dermal filler is a product that is injected or placed into the dermis. In the United States these are the FDA approved Dermal Fillers on the market: Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm ultra, Juvederm Ultra Plus, Sculptra, Radiesse, Belotero Balance, and now there is Juvederm Voluma which will be available in January. Here are the top 3 Dermal Fillers in our opinion and the best uses and candidates for each. BELOTERO BALANCE®-We think it's best used to fill the tear troughs which corrects hollow sunken eyes and dark circles (a common complaint amongst women). It's also great to fill in deflated lips. BELOTERO BALANCE® Dermal Filler is made of a material called hyaluronic acid or HA. HA naturally exists as a component of your skin. By binding to water, it fills in wrinkles and folds, allowing immediate and smooth correction. JUVÉDERM™ ULTRA XC & JUVÉDERM™ ULTRA PLUS XC: We love Juvederm Ultra Plus for sunken in cheeks and deep smile lines or "bull dog" lines around the mouth. Juvederm Ultra is great to plump up lips with no volume or erase "smoker" lines around the mouth. JUVÉDERM™ Ultra injectable gel is a colorless hyaluronic acid gel that is injected into facial tissue to smooth wrinkles and folds, especially around the nose and mouth. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring sugar found in the human body. The role of hyaluronic acid in the skin is to deliver nutrients, hydrate the skin byholding in water, and to act as a cushioning agent RADIESSE® DERMAL FILLER is best for deep volume loss in the cheek area and deep folds around the nose and mouth. It is great for those who have aged and lost weight to fill back in naturally lost volume for a "facelift" result. RADIESSE Volumizing Filler adds the volume and lift needed to diminish the signs of aging. What makes RADIESSE truly unique is the ability of the product to act as a scaffold under the skin, providing structure and stimulating your own natural collagen to grow. The production of natural collagen continues for several months, which extends beyond the initial effect of RADIESSE Volumizing Filler.

Cosmetic Fillers are Great Alternative to Surgical Facelift

Injectable procedures offer a wonderful alternative to invasive surgical procedures such as a facelift. Many injectable cosmetic fillers offer results that can last for over one year, and fillers are quick, painless, and requires little or no recovery time. We perform anti-aging consultations on a daily basis and the most common question is what is the difference between all of the types of injectables on the market and which one is best for me. This should give everyone some insight. The first injectable procedure many people think of is BOTOX Cosmetic. BOTOX Cosmetic is a purified protein comprised of botulinum toxin type A. The main ingredient in BOTOX Cosmetic relaxes contractions in certain facial muscles. These contractions normally lead to the formation of wrinkles and fine lines. BOTOX Cosmetic has a long history of proven results, and provides a smoother appearance for three to four months. However, dermal fillers and BOTOX accomplish different results: BOTOX relaxes wrinkles and is best for forehead and around the eyes while while dermal fillers restore lost facial volume and are best for lips, and lines around the mouth or naso-labial folds. There are many dermal fillers on the market. Some of the most popular ones are as follows: - Juvederm, Restylane, & Perlane - They all contain hyaluronic acid (Perlane & Juvederm Ultra Plus have larger molecules for a deeper fill) and they work to plump up the areas in your skin which have lost volume to promote a softer, more youthful appearance. Depending on the treatment area as well as your unique skin, a single treatment of either of these fillers can provide results for 9-14 months. - Radiesse - a smooth gel injectable filled with microspheres of calcium hydroxyapatite great for very deep naso-labial folds. A single 1.5cc syringe of this filler can last 12-16 months. Both BOTOX Cosmetic and facial fillers can be used to reduce the appearance of fine lines, deep wrinkles, and creases from almost any area of your face. In addition, Juvederm and Restylane can both be used for lip augmentation. No single solution is best for every patient. Talk to your local medical spa, nurse or plastic surgeon about the best option for you, also research who in your state is licensed to perform these treatments and that they are supervised by a Plastic Surgeon or Dermatologist.

The "Liquid Facelift" Facts with Dermal Fillers

In today's society plastic surgery is seen as extreme as many patients are finding "lunch time" procedure that provide a great benefits toward anti-aging, with little down-time and that costs a fraction of regular surgical procedures. One of the most popular non-surgical treatments is the "liquid face-lift" which utilizes various types of dermal fillers and injectables such as Botox cosmetic to lift, and tighten the face in 20-45 minutes with little down-time and normally for around $1000-$1500 with long lasting and amazing results.

A "liquid face-lift" using cosmetic dermal fillers can be performed on several areas of the face or focus on "trouble spots" such as the deep naso-labial folds (laugh lines) around the nose and mouth. This treatment can give one high cheeks again, mask bags under eyes, lift brows, lift jowls and reshape and restore plump lips, rounded faces and plump cheeks. Once corrected this procedure can make women and men look 10-15 years younger instantly.

A non-surgical Liquid Face Lift involves the use of advanced dermal fillers, usually in combination with BOTOX® and Dysport® The injectables used are among a group of 2nd generation dermal fillers that provide more enduring results than earlier products. The new group of 2nd generation, advanced dermal fillers includes JJUVEDERM Ultra Plus, Radiesse®, Restylane®, and Perlane® .

Non surgical face lift While all of the products work slightly different; all dermal fillers replace volume which is something that not even an actual surgical facelift or lasers can do. This is am amazing "lunch time" procedure that when performed by an experience and licensed Nurse Practitioner, Physician's Assistant or physician can yield amazing results.

Men are Anti-Aging for Love

When Cupid's bow strikes, we do things least expected of us. And in the case of men, it is more so, as days before Valentine’s Day, dermatology experts are registering a rise in the footfall of male clients seeking skin treatments.Experts tell us that there is almost a 40% rise in the number of men asking for treatments. While laser hair removal is a huge hit among men, there are many who ask for a treatment called Dermal Fillers.

“Dermal cosmetic fillers such as Perlane, Juvederm, Radiesse or Restylane are used to replace volume loss in the lips, cheeks & naso-labial folds around the nose and mouth that are usually caused by natural fat pad loss in the cheeks. Fillers act as an instant liquid face-lift to replace loss volume” informs James Farrell M.D.-plastic surgeon & medical director of Winter Park Laser. Botox and Dysport have also become increasingly popular amongst men as they are finally realizing they have to get in the "cosmetic game" to keep up with their younger looking counter parts.

“Men are starting to get concerned with their physical appearance, and it is only becoming more popular, many laser treatments like ablative or non-ablative fractional laser resurfacing or IPL (intense pulsed light) photo-facials to erase sun damage and wrinkles are very popular” says Dr James Farrell, plastic surgeon, Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging Center. They can now have treatments performed that erase wrinkles within 20-60 minutes and have very little down-time so that no one knows what they have had done.

At Winter Park Laser at our medical spa in Orlando we treat men of all ages and walks of life-from typical masculine construction workers to male models-dermal fillers, laser treatments and Botox offer all men a simple alternative to looking older than their partners-it also helps in a competitive job market where looking younger could help seal the deal on a job contract.

Dr. Oz explores the use of laser therapy to eliminate spider veins. Another common problem, dark eye circles and under-eye bags can be reduced with a series of hyaluronic acid injections. what you can do to get rid of spider veins. Dr Oz says; Under-eye bags and dark eye circles can sometimes be caused by allergies. Try an antihistamine first. Dr. Oz explains the causes of sagging neck skin, also known as jowls or the “turkey neck,” and what a procedure called laser liposuction can do to reverse this sign of aging.

Dr Kenneth Rothaus Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who has led research the new liposuction procedure that uses lasers to heat the fat which makes it easier to remove joins Dr Oz today talking about how light waves can tighten the skin for turkey neck and fat in the jowls. You can see in the video where Dr Rothaus does the the lipsuction laser on Angie a patient who complained about the sagging skin on her neck. The results of this procedure that takes about 20 minutes will last for years with skin tightening and costs approximately 2500 to 3000 dollars.

Dr katz Synergy laser therapy for spider veins cost 400 to 500 per treatment, and where Evelyn's spider veins were so extensive she would probably need at least two treatments per leg.

Dr Jeanine Downie used a treatment of Restylane Injections for dark circles and bags under the eyes. It was a profound difference immediately. The cost of Restylane injections cost 750.00 a syringe, so Dr Oz says both eyes would cost 1500.00 and it lasts a year.

There are so many injectables now, which one is natural and lasts the longest?

While Botox is the most commonly referenced dermal filler for lines and wrinkles on your forehead and other areas, there are many new dermal fillers which are more natural and last longer since Botox typically only lasts up to 4 months. One of these dermal fillers is Restylane. Restylane (hyluronic acid) is an FDA approved form of human collagen used to fill fine lines and wrinkles on the face giving a more plump, younger look, usually around the nose and mouth but also great for crow's feet or forehead. The results usually last up to 6 months, twice as long as botox! Make sure there is a doctor (MD)administering all injections. For example, at Winter Park Laser our Medical Director Jan V. Karlin M.D. is the only one administering injections. For more information go to www.winterparklaser.com
