Dermal Fillers (Juvederm)

There are many fine lines on people’s faces that, as a result of years of constant movement, sun-damage, and smoking, as the underlying tissue has lost its fullness and elasticity, have become permanent "folds" in the skin. Needless to say, these wrinkles do NOT appear with Botox and need to be "filled" in with a material that maintains its shape over time, does not scar, does not get absorbed by the body, and doesn’t cause redness or an allergic reaction. Today, there are multiple safe products on the market which help treat these wrinkles, and an Associate member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Soroudi is certified to use them to enhance your face’s youthful appearance. These fillers, in combination with Botox, can really help you look younger and prevent you from needing a full facelift.

Juvéderm
Approved by the FDA, Juvéderm™ is an injectable gel is a dermal filler with a smooth consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid. It is a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration.

Restylane and Perlane
Restylane® and Perlane® are also dermal fillers that replace volume and restore youthful contours to the skin to smooth away facial wrinkles and folds, such as the lines from the nose to the corners of the mouth.

Radiesse
Radiesse® is another dermal filler that works with your body, below the skin’s surface, to stimulate the production of collagen and encourage tissue regeneration. Unlike the above products, Radiesse is made of very small, smooth calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres, which are suspended in a water-based gel carrier. Over time, your body absorbs the gel carrier while collagen has started to grow and infiltrate the area, replacing the gel with your own, natural tissue. The Radiesse Microspheres continue to provide the support and structure for your body to grow new tissue and collagen until the Microspheres are also safely and naturally absorbed into your body.

All above products contain no animal proteins, no allergy testing is required before use, and are injected into the skin at the office using topical anesthetic creams to minimize discomfort.

Based on the severity of your wrinkles, your skin type, your sex and age, and depending on what he feels best suits your specific needs, Dr. Soroudi gently injects these fillers under your skin to instantly restore your skin’s volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and folds, like your "smile lines" or "parentheses" (nasolabial folds-the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth). The entire procedures takes minutes; the effects are instant, and the results last up to one year!
