Selphyl
A Revolution in Rejuvenation:
  SELPHYL® is used by dermatologists and plastic surgeons to harness the patient’s own biology and platelets to naturally fill skin depressions, acne scars, wrinkles and folds, rather than using synthetic, plastic, or animal-derived materials.

Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are injectable gels made from a highly purified form of hyaluronic acid and/or calcium based microspheres.  They are injected below the surface of the skin to replace volume that is naturally lost with the aging process, and to improve the appearance of depressed areas in the skin.  Dermal fillers add volume to the skin, restoring this lost volume to smooth unwanted lines and wrinkles, and depressed areas. There are multiple brands and different kinds of fillers available, and are used in different areas throughout the face. Multiple syringes are usually needed depending on the area(s) being injected, and the amount of volume loss in the area(s), etc.

Types of Filler:
  At Advanced Esthetics, several mid-length to long lasting dermal fillers are offered.  Short acting fillers, lasting 1-4 months are no longer utilized, as the newer fillers offer the same soft natural look with longer results.  Extremely long lasting or permanent fillers are also not utilized due to the high rate of complications that occur many years later.  The following are the fillers recommended by AE.

Juvederm Ultra
is a soft, injectable gel that replaces some of the lost naturally hydrating substance in one’s skin called hyaluronic acid, restoring volume to and correcting moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. It can be used in multiple areas throughout the mid and lower face, including the lips.  It generally lasts up to 6 - 9 months.

Restylane is a soft, injectable particulate gel that replaces some of the lost naturally hydrating substance in one’s skin called hyaluronic acid, restoring volume to and correcting moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. It can be used in multiple areas throughout the mid and lower face, including the lips.  It generally lasts up to 6 - 9 months.

Perlane
is a slightly more firm, injectable particulate gel that uses hyaluronic acid restoring volume to and correcting moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds throughout the face.  This filler is not used in the lips.  The effects typically last 9 – 12 months.

Juvaderm Ultra Plus is a slightly more firm, smooth injectable gel that also uses hyaluronic acid restoring volume to and correcting moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds throughout the face.  This filler is not used in the lips.  The effects typically last 9 – 12 months.

Radiesse is a firm, injectable gel composed of both calcium hydroxylapatite and hyaluronic acid in calcium-based microspheres that once injected, begins to stimulate the production of your own collagen helping correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. This product is great for restoring volume to cheeks, deep nasolabial folds and marionette lines. This filler is not used in the lips.  The effects typically last 12 - 18 months.
