When you want to erase the years and smooth away wrinkles, dermal fillers make an excellent choice because they produce immediate results, and they last for six months to two years, depending on the product used. Emile G. Shenouda, MD, at The Bodika offers a wide variety of dermal fillers so that you can receive a fully customized treatment that’s designed to work for your skin and cosmetic problem.
Over the years, everyone goes through the same age-related changes. The cushioning layer of fat just beneath your skin diminishes or falls and accumulates in unattractive areas due to the effect of gravity.
In your younger years, your skin produces substances such as hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastin, which keep your skin hydrated, strong, and resilient. But as you get older, production of these vital substances falls, causing dry, loose, and fragile skin.
All these changes work together to produce wrinkles that the experts at The Bodika can treat with dermal fillers. These injectable fillers contain ingredients that diminish wrinkles by plumping them up and promoting collagen production.
The team at The Bodika offers a wide range of dermal fillers whose primary ingredient is hyaluronic acid, including:
Belotero treats vertical lines above your upper lip and smooths away mild-to-moderate wrinkles around your mouth. However, Belotero integrates into your existing skin rather than rebuilding volume.
Juvéderm® is a family of fillers that all contain hyaluronic acid in a gel-like base, but each one is formulated to target a specific cosmetic problem. correct moderate-to-severe wrinkles around your mouth and nose, plump up your lips, and soften the fine lines around your lips.
Restylane® also includes a line of fillers with hyaluronic acid. Each product is formulated with differently sized particles that create the amount of correction needed to target various cosmetic concerns. The Restylane products treat the same cosmetic problems as Juvéderm.
Versa™ is a hyaluronic Acid is a naturally occurring substance that can be used cosmetically to correct moderate-to-severe wrinkles and folds in the skin. Versa™ gives natural and long-lasting results with its homogenous filler due to their advanced wet milling technology and proprietary formula.
The team at The Bodika offers several dermal fillers that work differently from the hyaluronic acid fillers, such as:
Sculptra contains tiny particles of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). PLLA is a biocompatible substance that stimulates collagen production. As PLLA is gradually absorbed into your body, collagen is left behind to maintain the results. Your aesthetician at The Bodika may recommend Sculptra to treat moderate-to-deep facial wrinkles and restore facial volume.
Radiesse (+) is similar to Sculptra because it immediately restores volume, then triggers collagen production. However, this type of Radiesse contains microspheres of calcium, as well as lidocaine to relieve pain. Like other dermal fillers, this product may restore volume and treat smile lines and marionette lines.
