Juvederm - Restylane - Perlane are FDA approved skin fillers which are intended to correct moderate to deep facial wrinkles and creases, restore lip shape and volume and for shaping facial contours such as the cheeks and chin. Treatment can be performed over your lunch hour, using a local anesthetic is injected beneath the skin, to add and restore volume.

These 3 fillers use a soft crystal clear gel made of hyaluronic acid, which is a natural compound produced by the skin. Its function in the skin is to maintain moisture, volume and flexibility. The unique property of this acid is its ability to bind with water molecules up to 1000 times its original size, making it an excellent choice for filler. This synthetic is not derived from any animal sources so is extremely safe and is metabolized by the body naturally over time. The fillers can be expected to last depending on their location. Clinical  results show them to be effective for 4-6 months for the lips and 12 months for facial grooves.
