ArteFill® is a non-absorbable wrinkle filler used to correct smile lines. It is the only FDA-approved injectable smile line treatment of its kind. ArteFill® uses a unique dual-acting formula made of a combination of 20% ArteFill Precision-Filtered Microspheres™ and 80% ArteFill Purified Bovine Collagen™. The result is the immediate visible correction of facial wrinkles and folds in as few as one or two treatment sessions with no downtime.

As we age, the natural collagen and elastin fibers supporting our skin break down, creating wrinkles. The ArteFill® microspheres replace these aging fibers and provide permanent support and volume to the skin, making ArteFill® outlast virtually any other wrinkle filler.

Radiesse® is a synthetic injectable filler that has been FDA-approved to reduce moderate to severe wrinkles, folds and creases around the nose and mouth by augmenting the skin's natural collagen supply. It is a safe, effective and long-lasting alternative to injectable collagen and other dermal fillers for not only smoothing wrinkles but also adding volume and contour to the face for an overall younger, fuller, smoother appearance. With just one or two Radiesse® treatments, you can enjoy a beautiful, natural look that lasts.

Radiesse® is composed of microspheres in a water-based gel. The microspheres-made of a substance called calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA)-stimulate the production of collagen to smooth lines and wrinkles and also add younger-looking suppleness to the face. Radiesse® is made from minerals similar to what makes up our bones. There is no need for pre-treatment allergy testing, and it is absorbed naturally by the body over time.

At your Radiesse® treatment, your doctor will administer a series of quick injections with a fine needle. Treatments typically take 15 minutes and require only local anesthetic if any at all. There is little to no downtime; many patients return to their normal activities after their appointment.

Sculptra™ is an injectable product that corrects the signs of facial fat loss (lipoatrophy) by restoring lost volume in the skin. Lipoatrophy can result in sunken cheeks, indentations and hollow eyes. Injected into the deep dermis layer of the skin, Sculptra™ provides a gradual and significant increase in skin thickness, improving the appearance of folds and sunken areas. Note that Sculptra™ does not treat lipoatrophy, but it does compensate for its effects.

Sculptra™'s main component is an alpha hydroxy acid called poly-L-lactic acid, or PLLA. It is safe, synthetic (artificially created), biocompatible (can be used harmlessly in the body), biodegradable (able to be broken down in the body) and long-lasting. PLLA has been used for more than 20 years in many surgical products, including dissolvable sutures and soft tissue implants.

You and your doctor will discuss whether to use a local or topical anesthetic to minimize any discomfort. Then, your doctor will administer Sculptra™ in a series of injections with a very fine needle. Afterwards, you will be given an ice pack to reduce swelling. It is important to massage the treated area to ensure that the material is evenly distributed beneath the skin.

The results of Sculptra™ vary from patient to patient. In a clinical study, the effects were shown to last for up to two years after the first treatment session in most patients.
