Dermal Fillers: Hyaluronic Acid Options

Also called fillers, soft tissue fillers, or soft tissue augmentation, dermal fillers restore our skin’s youthful fullness that is lost as we age. Dr. Corey Hartman, who is a Board Certified Dermatologist, and his team at Skin Wellness Dermatology, offer a number of different hyaluronic acid dermal fillers to reduce aging signs on the face, lips, and hands without the need for plastic surgery. It is crucial to choose a board certified plastic surgeon or a qualified professional for these procedures to ensure skillful enhancement and natural-looking results. With our wide selection, we can perform the following dermal filler procedures:

  • Rejuvenate facial contours by restoring volume to the cheeks, hollows under the eyes, and deep folds.
  • Reduce the appearance of scars.
  • Eliminate fine lines such as crow’s feet and increase facial volume.
  • Add fullness to the lips and restore volume.
  • Lift a downturned mouth or lift the brows.
  • Restore a more youthful appearance to the hands.

Restylane and Juvéderm dermal fillers are composed of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the human body. It is found in high concentrations in our joints and connective tissues, acting as a network to carry nutrients to our skin cells. When injected, the gel adds volume to the tissues and facial structures and draws water to the skin’s surface, keeping it looking supple and fresh.

What is the Difference Between Dermal and Injectable Fillers

Dermal filler treatments are delivered via an injection, which is why they are sometimes referred to as injectable fillers. However, injectable and dermal fillers are one and the same. Dermal fillers can stimulate collagen production, which enhances skin firmness and elasticity.

Replace lost volume, fill out thin lips and smooth lines, and reduce many signs of aging without any plastic surgery or surgical procedure with a dermal filler injectable treatment by a Board Certified Dermatologist at Skin Wellness Center.

Types of Dermal Fillers, or Soft Tissue Fillers, We Offer

There are several hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, or HA fillers, on the market and available in our clinic. Restore volume and reduce smile lines and wrinkles with any one of the following injectable filler treatments. These treatments are conveniently available for residents in Birmingham AL, emphasizing the accessibility and skilled delivery of services.

JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC

As you age, the cheeks may flatten and the skin may begin to sag. This is caused by a natural loss of volume in the cheek area, or what the experts call age-related midface volume loss. JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC is designed to add volume beneath the skin’s surface, which provides lift and contour to the cheek area. Over time, due to aging, wrinkles develop on your face, and nasolabial folds may become more visible. JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC is designed to temporarily add volume to the facial wrinkles for a smoother appearance of the face. The lidocaine in the gel improves the comfort of the injection by reducing sensitivity to pain at the injection site.

JUVÉDERM VOLLURE™ XC

JUVÉDERM VOLLURE™ XC is injected into the areas of facial tissue where moderate to severe wrinkles and folds occur, including the “parentheses lines” around the nose and mouth.

JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC

JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC injectable gel is for injection into the lips for the procedure, which is significant for enhancing lip fullness and overall facial appearance, and for correction of perioral lines, often called “lipstick lines” in adults over the age of 21. JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC is a crystal-clear gel that is injected directly into and around the lips using an ultra-fine needle to temporarily plump the lips and to smooth the appearance of lines around the mouth. The lidocaine gel improves the comfort of the injection by reducing sensitivity to pain at the injection site.

JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC

JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC is an injectable gel that temporarily adds more fullness and plumps thin lips—whether your lips have thinned over time or you simply want fuller lips—in adults over the age of 21. Lip fillers, such as JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC, offer benefits like natural-looking results, a quick and minimally invasive procedure, and a recovery process that is typically short. The effects of lip fillers can last several months, depending on the type of injection used.

Restylane Kysse

Lips lose volume, color, and elasticity with age. Skilled injectors are crucial for achieving natural-looking results with lip injections. Restylane Kysse is a lip filler that adds volume, smooths upper lip lines for up to one year, and enhances lip color. Designed specifically for the movement of lips, Restylane Kysse is made with XpresHAn Technology’s™ innovative cross-linking gel for precise, natural-looking results.

Restylane® Lyft

The first and only hyaluronic acid filler FDA-approved to treat your face and hands. Restylane® Lyft is also effective for treating vertical lip lines, demonstrating its broad application in facial aesthetics. Help complete your aesthetic look with natural-looking volume in your cheeks and hands for a smoother, fuller appearance. Restylane® Lyft is a safe, effective, and dissolvable HA filler. Treatment can be administered to your hands and face at the same appointment — and can result in a more youthful-looking appearance. Over time, natural fat begins to deteriorate, resulting in sagging skin, more prominent wrinkles, and a reduction in volume. Restylane Lyft, formerly known as Perlane-L®, is an injectable gel used to correct volume loss and treat wrinkles in the face and hands. Through nonsurgical injections, Restylane Lyft is specifically designed to add fullness to the cheeks, midface area, and the back of the hands to help complete your aesthetic look — for face and hands.

Restylane®

Restylane® can be used to add volume and fullness to the skin to correct moderate to severe wrinkles and folds, such as the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth. To minimize discomfort during lip injection procedures, a topical numbing cream can be used. Restylane may also be used for lip enhancement in patients over 21 years. Restylane is a clear gel formulation that is specifically formulated to act like your body’s own naturally produced hyaluronic acid, helping to visibly correct moderate to severe wrinkles and folds, including the lines that run from your nose toward the corners of your mouth and the lines that run from the corners of your mouth toward the chin.

Additionally, Restylane and Restylane® Silk are FDA-approved dermal fillers for lip enhancement in patients over the age of 21 and are uniquely formulated to give your lips fullness and definition.

Restylane® Refyne

A next-generation dermal filler designed to help support your skin while keeping you looking like you. Restylane® Refyne is designed with XpresHAn Technology™ to help soften laugh lines. This can help you restore a more natural look to your face while maintaining your facial expressions. So, you always look like you. As skin loses elasticity with age, the lines that run from the sides of your nose toward the corners of your mouth (nasolabial folds) and the lines that run from the corners of your mouth toward the chin (marionette lines) appear more noticeable. Restylane Refyne is a specifically formulated dermal filler made with XpresHAn TechnologyTM that helps correct these lines for a more natural look to your face. The unique cross-linking of the gel in Restylane Refyne is also designed to help support your natural expression—for real-life results that help maintain natural movement when you’re smiling, frowning, and even puckering up.

Restylane® Defyne

Crafted with XpresHAn Technology™, Restylane® Defyne helps smooth out deep laugh lines (nasolabial folds and marionette lines) and reduce signs of aging. Unlike a lip lift, which is a surgical procedure involving lifting and reshaping the lips with minor incisions under the nose, Restylane Defyne is a minimally invasive lip procedure that emphasizes patient comfort and has minimal expected downtime. Using innovative cross-linking technology, Restylane Defyne is a dermal filler that is able to help restore a more youthful, natural-looking appearance, while helping you maintain your natural expressions. As we age, our skin loses elasticity and the lines that run from the sides of the nose toward the corners of the mouth (nasolabial folds) and the lines that run from the corners of your mouth toward the chin (marionette lines) become more pronounced. Restylane Defyne is crafted with XpresHAn TechnologyTM to correct these deepened lines. The unique cross-linking of the gel in Restylane Defyne is also designed to help support your facial expressions—for natural-looking results that help maintain your natural movement.
