Juvéderm®

Juvéderm® is primarily a hyaluronic acid which is naturally found in the skin that helps retain moisture and elasticity.

  • Uses: It is commonly used for smoothing wrinkles and lines, particularly around the mouth and nose, and for enhancing the lips. It's also effective in adding volume to the cheeks.
  • Procedure: The treatment involves injecting the gel under the skin using a fine needle. It's a quick process, usually completed within 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Results and Longevity: Results are immediate and can last from 6 to 12 months, depending on the specific product used and the individual's skin type and lifestyle.

Radiesse®

Radiesse® is made of Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. CaHA is a substance naturally found in bones.

  • Uses: It is particularly effective for deeper wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds, and for enhancing the volume of the cheeks and other facial contours.
  • Procedure: Similar to Juvéderm®, it involves injecting the product under the skin. The procedure typically takes about 15 to 30 minutes.
  • Results and Longevity: Results are visible immediately and can last up to a year or more. Radiesse® also stimulates natural collagen production, offering long-term benefits.

  • Procedure: The treatment involves a series of injections over several months. Each session usually takes about 30 minutes.

FAQ's about Dermal Fillers

Are dermal fillers safe?

Yes, when administered by a professional like Dr. Barnett, dermal fillers are safe with minimal side effects. The FDA has approved various brands of dermal fillers for cosmetic applications, and when these approved products are used by competent professionals, they are unlikely to cause harmful side effects. Nonetheless, like any medical treatment, dermal fillers can have side effects, which may include skin rashes, redness, bruising, itching, and swelling. These reactions are typically temporary and part of the body's normal response to the treatment.

How much do Dermal Fillers cost?

Each patient receives a tailor-made treatment plan that aligns with their unique needs, which is why costs can vary. The type and amount of filler used, along with the specific areas being treated, play a significant role in determining the price. During your consultation, we'll provide a detailed breakdown of the costs associated with popular options like Juvéderm®, Sculptra®, and Radiesse®. Our goal is to develop a personalized treatment strategy that not only meets your aesthetic desires but also fits comfortably within your budget.

How long does the treatment last?

Most dermal fillers can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years based upon which filler is selected. Dermal fillers do not migrate to other areas.

When can I expect to see results?

You might start noticing the smoothing effects as soon as 2-4 days post-injection. Generally, the initial visible results appear within a week. The peak impact is typically observed around the 14-day mark. While clinical trials indicate an effect lasting up to three months, individual experiences may vary, with some patients noticing longer or shorter durations of effectiveness.

Are there risks or side effects?

Dermal fillers are generally considered safe and effective for cosmetic enhancements. Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, itchiness, or tenderness at the injection site. These reactions are usually mild and tend to resolve within about a week. However, it's important to note that most dermal fillers are not permanent solutions. This means additional treatments might be necessary to maintain the desired effect over time.

Who should not get a filler?

  • If you are allergic to any of the components in the filler.
  • If you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • If you take blood thinners or an immunosuppressant.
  • Exercise caution if you have a history of severe scarring or have a pigmentation disorder
