Dermal Filler is a non-surgical treatment for facial rejuvenation. When the gel filler is placed under the wrinkles, it lifts up and smooth out the wrinkles and deep grooves. Dermal filler can add volume to lost facial contours and thinning lips as well. With over 10 years experience in microinjection, Dr. Lee can gently deliver the filler under wrinkles or folds or into lips. Dr. Lee can also use local anesthetic cream and/or dental block to assure patient comfort during treatment if needed. The procedure takes about 30 minutes and results are immediate. Dermal Fillers have many applications and require minimal to no downtime. It is effective in smoothing wrinkles and folds alongside the nose and around the mouth and chin and can add volume to thinning lips and straighten out the depressed lip corners that causes sad look. We offer Radiesse™ and Juvederm™, and Restylane-L for Dermal Filler treatments. Dermal Filler treatments are cosmetic and we do not file insurance for this service.
Radiesse™ is a dermal filler made of unique calcium hydroxyapatite micro-spheres suspended in a natural gel. Radiesse does not require skin testing before treatment. Hydroxyapatite is a mineral component of bone that has been used, for many years, in the repair of hard and soft tissues of the body.After treatment, your body absorbs the natural gel carrier in several weeks leaving behind the calcium hydroxyapatite microspheres. Over time your very own collagen forms around the calcium to leave you with a long lasting result. Radiesse is now formulated with local anesthetic. Radiesse can be moldable and therefore used as a means of shaping, contouring and sculpting the face. Results from Radiesse treatment is not permanent and may last 10 months to 2 years depending on treatment locations and amount of movement involved in treatment areas. This makes Radiesse ideal as temporary, longer lasting soft tissue filler for individuals who are worried about permanent fillers.
Juvederm™ and Restylane-L are dermal fillers made from a highly purified form of hyaluronic acid. Your skin contains a naturally hydrating substance called hyaluronic acid (HA). Much like a sponge, its primary function is to bind and absorb water, which creates volume in the face. But aging reduces the amount of HA in your face. The lack of HA causes skin to lose structure and volume, creating unwanted facial wrinkles and folds. Juvedermand Restylane replace the HA your face has lost, bringing back its volume and smoothing away facial wrinkles and folds as well as adding volume to thinning lips. Results from Juvederm and Restylane treatments are not permanent and may last 6 months to 2 years depending on treatment locations and amount of movement involved in treatment areas. This makes Juvederm and Restylane ideal as temporary soft tissue fillers for individuals who are worried about permanent fillers. Restylane is an ideal filler for treatment under eyes to correct the dark circles caused by volume loss. Restylane-L is formulated with lidocaine anesthetic for more patient comfort during treatment.
