Types of Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that add volume to an area. While there are other forms of injectable treatments, dermal fillers are a specific type of treatment. There are several dermal fillers that are commonly used by Dr. Espinoza, including Juvéderm, Restylane, and Sculptra.
Juvéderm®
Juvéderm is one of the most popular facial fillers in NYC and comes in several forms. It is made with hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance within the body. Our volume of hyaluronic acid decreases as we age and is essential for volume and hydration. Some products in the Juvéderm family include:
- Juvéderm Vollure: This can be used to add volume and remove shadows from the under eyes, fill in marionette lines (around the mouth), and nasolabial folds (creases running from the nose to the mouth).
- Juvéderm Volbella: This can be used for fine lines throughout the face, beneath the eyes, and plumping the lips.
- Juvéderm Voluma: This product is used to restore lost volume in areas including the cheeks and fill deeper wrinkles and creases.
Restylane®
Restylane is used to improve several areas of the face, including the lips, lines around the mouth, restoring volume in the cheeks, and other wrinkles throughout the face. Like Juvéderm, it uses hyaluronic acid to add volume. The Restylane family of products is large and can address various facial concerns. Some of the products in the Restylane family include:
- Restylane: The original formula can be used for facial wrinkles and treat the under eyes.
- Restylane-L: This product can add volume to the skin and improve moderate wrinkles.
- Restylane Lyft: This product can help lift sagging skin, improve hollow areas of the face, and add volume to more severe wrinkles.
- Restylane Silk: This can add volume to lips and create a more symmetrical lip shape.
- Restylane Kysse: This can be used to target “smokers-lines” around the lips and add volume to lips.
