| What are the different types of Dermal Filling? Radiesse? Radiesse (formerly Radiance) is a biocompatible, non-toxic, non-allergenic filler that reduces the appearance of wrinkles and skin folds around the mouth and nose, and fills certain scars. Popular for its long-lasting results, Radiesse benefits should be evident for two years or more.
Restylane Restylane is a dermal filler which immediately eliminates wrinkles and enhances specific areas of you face, including lips, superficial lines and frown lines. Juvederm Juvéderm™ is a smooth consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid—a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration. Dr. Moore eases Juvéderm™ injectable gel under the skin to provide a smooth, natural look and feel—so everyone will notice (but no one will know)! In fact, studies show superior results of Juvéderm™ compared to a collagen-based dermal filler.* And, almost 90% of all study volunteers who were treated with both Juvéderm™ injectable gel and another dermal filler* preferred Juvéderm™! In addition, Juvéderm™ injectable gel is the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler that is proven to be safe and effective for persons of color. ArteFill ArteFill is a dual-acting injectable wrinkle filler. The secret is in its patented formula, which contains 20% ArteFill Precision-Filtered Microspheres™ (made of PMMA, the same material used for dozens of medical implants over the last 50 years) and 80% ArteFill Purified Bovine Collagen™ gel with lidocaine, an anesthetic.
First, ArteFill visibly corrects the wrinkle. Then the microspheres provide the permanent support your skin needs to correct the wrinkle and prevent further wrinkling.
Some Before & After Photos
Fat Transfer
An important element of the Facial Regenesis Program is the replacement of volume that has been lost under the eyes, from the cheeks, the jaw line, the nasolabial folds, and even the lips. Fat transfers to these areas can achieve a natural, youthful look with the lowest downtime, and without the windswept look which can be seen in some people who have had surgical facelifts. This procedure is done completely under local anesthesia with fat cells being harvested from areas of surplus and then transferred to areas that need augmentation. The principal benefit of fat transfer is an unlimited supply of long lasting filler. This procedure yields an excellent, long lasting natural result that is more economical over the long run than traditional dermal fillers.
