Injectable soft tissue fillers
As we age, our faces start showing the effects of sun exposure, gravity, smiling, chewing, squinting and frowning. Tissues start to thin and break down, leaving noticeable laugh lines, crows’ feet and facial creases.
An injectable soft tissue filler can help fill in these lines and smooth your face to help you look your best. A simple 15-minute treatment offers instant skin correction. It will plump up wrinkles and folds on your face and neck, fill in “sunken cheeks,” enhance your lips and correct scarring caused by acne and chicken pox.
The benefits are significant: fillers are non-invasive, safe, and they provide dramatic, natural-looking results with minimal downtime.
Dr. Nield uses the following products:
Juvederm® Ultra and Ultra Plus
Restylane®
These fillers are made of a non-animal hyaluronic acid (HA) gel that adds volume and reduces wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid is naturally found in our skin and other tissues. It diminishes naturally with age and sun exposure, decreasing our skin’s ability to retain moisture and remain firm and smooth. Once injected into the skin, the gel binds with water and will remain for many months. New evidence suggests that it can even stimulate your own skin to produce more collagen in the treated area for a very natural, longer lasting effect. Results can last from 6 to 8 months or more. These products are very safe and are easy to inject.
Evolence® and Evolence® Breeze
This next generation of collagen-based fillers is hypoallergenic and can last for up to a year. These products can be used anywhere that correction is needed on the face and neck.
Radiesse®
A long-lasting, non-toxic, non-allergenic filler that reduces the appearance of wrinkles and skin folds around the mouth and nose, and fills certain types of scars. Results can last for one to two years.
SculptraTM
There are many options when it comes to reducing the visible signs of aging — but there is nothing quite like Sculptra. Referred to by some physicians as a "Face lift in a bottle", Sculptra represents a new and unique non-invasive option that helps facial skin naturally regain a more youthful and natural-looking appearance.
Derived from fruit acids, Sculptra is a biocompatible and biodegradable injectable material known as poly-L-lactic acid that naturally stimulates the body to produce its own collagen.Sculptra is indicated for increasing volume of depressed areas, particularly to correct skin depressions in the areas of the temples, eye rings, cheeks, nasiolabial folds, marionette lines and chin.
