Restylane®, Juvéderm™ and Radiesse® are safe and natural cosmetic dermal fillers that restore volume and fullness to the skin while correcting moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds. Cosmetic dermal fillers are comprised of non-animal based stabilized hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that already exists in the human body and is used to provide volume and fullness to the skin.

 

Hyaluronic acid fillers require no pre-testing, but you should take few precautions before treatment. Avoid using aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, St. John's Wort and vitamin E supplements prior to treatment as these may increase bruising or bleeding at the injection site. In addition, those prone to facial cold sores should take cold sore medication a few days prior to treatment (to prevent cold sore recurrence). 

 

The average treatment results last six months or even longer.
