When it comes to facial fillers you have many options, so we gathered 5 of the top fillers to help you make a decision. Read on to get started.
The main ingredient in Radiesse are microspheres made of calcium hydroxylapatite — similar component to bones and teeth. Because this facial filler stimulates your body’s natural collagen production the effects last longer. Expect to see a difference in facial volume. The effects of Radiesse will be immediate, but you will notice more changes as time goes by. Rasiesse produces great results for those with moderate to severe wrinkles. You can go longer without needing touch-ups — the effects can last up to a year.
Juvederm is made by Allergan, the company responsible for Botox. The main ingredient in Juvederm is hyaluronic acid gel, which gives the skin added volume and hydration. The effects of hyaluronic acid, which is a substance found in the body, last longer than some fillers. If you want to improve the appearance of moderate and severe wrinkles, your doctor might suggest Juvederm. It’s also a great filler for improving facial contour and filling in crow’s feet.
Invented in Sweden, Restylane is a leading facial filler worldwide. It has been used in the United States since 2004. This facial filler is a hyaluronic acid gel. The components are non-animal based and biodegradable. Because it’s a soft tissue filler, it’s best used around the mouth and eyes. The age range recommended for Restylane is 35 to 60. A doctor will perform the injections using local anesthesia and it can take up to 30 minutes to complete depending on the area.
Perlane is from the Q-Med family, the same company as Restylane. Introduced in the United States in 2007, Perlane is similar to Restylane, except it has larger molecules. The larger molecules allow for it to penetrate deeper for more pronounced wrinkles. This is one of the reasons why it’s not recommended for around the lip area. Those injected with Perlane will see an improved look in their wrinkles and the effects will last up to six months.
Made from porcine collagen, Evolence entered the U.S. market in 2008. Creators use porcine collagen because it resembles the components of human collagen, which we stop producing and lose with age. Since it’s so close to our collagen component, patients tend to experience less swelling. This product works the best when injected into mid to deep wrinkles. It’s injected into the inner layers of the face and nasolabial folds.
