All About Fillers

All About Fillers

Everyone loses volume in their face, neck, and hands with age—which is why RefinedMD has the fillers you need to turn back the clock. Fat and muscle in these areas naturally fade, which leads to skin that looks aged. Our bodies also produce less collagen and elastin, key ingredients in young and supple skin. The result is skin that looks loose and saggy. Side effects of lost volume can include “veiny hands,” wrinkles, and undesirable hollow cheeks and undereye bags. Dermal fillers can rejuvenate the face and hands by replacing volume, plumping the lips, and contouring hollow areas.

Simultaneously, wrinkles are reduced and skin looks instantly more youthful. There are a variety of dermal fillers available, all with minimal downtime. We work with clients to customize a dermal filler treatment plan to achieve your goals.

JUVEDERM VOLBELLA

One of the most popular picks in the dermal filler family is Juvederm Volbella. It was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2016.Volbella is part of the Juvederm brand, and designed specifically to improve lip border and shape without over-plumping. Lines and wrinkles in and around the lips are lessened, including “smoker’s lines,” allowing lipstick to be applied smoother. Volbella can also be used to treat acne scarring. It is made with a gel and includes hyaluronic acid to retain moisture in the injection site. Results last up to one year.

BENEFITS OF VOLBELLA

  • Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles in and around the lips
  • Lips that look naturally fuller and smoother without any risk of over-filling
  • Easier application of lipstick
  • Volbella can last up to 12 months
  • Volbella was created exclusively for the lip region, but can also treat acne scars

WHAT MAKES VOLBELLA DIFFERENT?

Volbella is unique thanks to its Vycross technology. It is a patented type of crosslinking that leads to increased lift and long-lasting results. The days of duck lips are over, and most clients want lips that look naturally fuller. One study found that the vast majority of Volbella clients were still happy with their results a full year after treatment. Most lip fillers last around six months, which is a great timeframe for those “testing out” a new look. However, if you know you want natural-looking results that last, Volbella might be the answer.

As an added perk, Volbella is easier to inject thanks to the gel component and an extra-fine needle. The levels of hyaluronic acid are less compared to other dermal fillers, making water absorption less common. This means less swelling and a natural pout.

JUVEDERM

Juvederm is loved and respected in the dermal filler family thanks to its wide range of customized products. The first Juvederm product was FDA approved in 2006, and Juvederm boasts the title of products with the most cross-linked hyaluronic acid compared to any other filler on the market. Many Juvederm products require just one treatment for lasting results.

JUVEDERM CAN BE USED FOR:

  • Chin and cheek contouring
  • Correcting smile lines
  • Enhancing lips naturally
  • Increasing lip volume
  • Treating fine to deep links and wrinkles

HOW DOES JUVEDERM WORK?

Juvederm fillers are the only fillers available that use hyaluronic acid in a proprietary way via innovative manufacturing of a smooth gel. This gel is easily accepted by the body and leads to an organic look and touch. Juvederm can help with wrinkle reduction, improved volume in the face and lips, and is known for looking completely natural. There is little recovery time, and clients say the injection is easier and faster than other dermal fillers.

Thanks to the makeup of Juvederm, dermatologists and injection nurses have even more control over injections—which means a result that is tailored to your skin goals. Juvederm is part of the Allergan’s Brilliant Distinctions Program, which offers big savings to clients. Botox is also part of the rewards program, and a fantastic complement to dermal fillers.
