Injectable Fillers in Atlanta | Casey Powell PA
So much has been written about Dermal Fillers as they are rapidly becoming the “gold standard” as a solution to treat a variety of facial and bodily concerns. While the face remains the most common area for dermal filler treatments, there are additional treatments that are more suited for other areas of the body, as well. For the most part, dermal fillers can be administered during your lunch hour and you can return to work immediately afterwards. If you’re interested in learning more about injectable fillers in Atlanta, then let’s explore several of the more popular filler treatment options below.
Sculptra: Sculptra is actually an injectable biostimulator, not a traditional filler. Sculptra binds to your own collagen producing cells and wakes them up to start producing collagen. Sculptra rebuilds the inner structure of the skin over time to replenish lost volume. It continues to be a natural choice for many when it comes to smoothing out facial areas. Unlike hyaluronic fillers that provide instant results, Sculptra renders results gradually and works by stimulating the natural production of collagen. The results from Sculptra often last over two years. Multiple sessions may be needed. Temporary swelling and bruising can occur.
Downtime: None.
Juvederm: Juvederm is a collection of hyaluronic acid fillers, which include Volbella, Vollure, Voluma, Ultra, and Ultra Plus. Hyaluronic acid naturally occurs in our bodies and helps deliver nutrients to the skin, retain moisture and softness and adds volume. Each product can be used on different areas of the face to lift cheeks, smooth parentheses lines, plump the lips and augment different parts of the face. It can also be used to improve scarring. Results can last anywhere from 6-16 months depending on which product is used. Temporary swelling and bruising can occur.
Downtime: None.
Radiesse: Radiesse has filler and biostimulating properties. It volumizes immediately and then also works to stimulate your body’s collagen over time. It is a denser filler that can be used for cheek, jawline, NSL fold, chin and hand augmentation. That’s right! Radiesse is one of the only FDA approved product for hand rejuvenation. It helps minimize the appearance of bony and vascular structures of the back of the hands. Results have been shown to last a year or more, making treatment both immediate and long lasting. Mild swelling and bruising may occur.
Downtime: None
Restylane: Similar to Juvederm, Restylane also contains hyaluronic acid. Lyft, Defyne, Refyne and Restylane are used on different areas of the face to lift cheeks, smooth parentheses lines, plump the lips and augment different parts of the face, as well as the hands. Restylane can also be used to minimize scarring. Results can last from 6-12 months, depending on which product is used. Temporary swelling and bruising can occur.
Downtime: None.
Belotero: Belotero is a hyaluronic acid filler that helps to smooth stubborn etched-in smile lines, vertical lip lines above and around the lips and darkness and hollowing under the eyes. It can also be used to reduce scarring. Results can last anywhere from 6-8 months. Temporary swelling and bruising can occur.
Downtime: None.
Revanesse Versa: Versa is a hyaluronic acid filler that can help deliver nutrients to the skin and help skin retain moisture and softness. Versa is used on different areas of the face to lift cheeks, smooth parentheses lines, plump the lips and augment different parts of the face. It can also be used to reduce scarring. Results can last anywhere from 6-12 months depending on the individual. Temporary swelling and bruising can occur.
Downtime: None.
Final Thoughts: It is always important to remember that, “Cheap Injectables are not good and good Injectables are not cheap.” Therefore, it is always best to avoid the “Discount” or “Fire Sale” offers when shopping for injectable services. The old rule of thumb prevails, “If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.” Additionally, it is always important to seek a skilled cosmetic injector and skincare expert when it comes to your treatment. While various healthcare professionals may qualify as an injector (say a dentist, for instance), that doesn’t automatically mean he/she also has the necessary background, training, and experience to successfully execute a cosmetic procedure with a specific set of desired results in mind. Trust only those skilled professionals who work within the cosmetic industry with your injectable treatment of choice.
