What To Know About Injectables!!

Injectable fillers are the second most popular cosmetic treatment after Botox. But with the plethora of fillers out there, how are you to know which one is the best for which area? Here are some tips!

Lips: There are a number of great fillers for the lips. Restylane Silk, Restylane Kysse, and Restylane Defyne are great to plump up the lips softly. Juvederm Ultra Plus is a lip filler that can give long-lasting results. For a softer, gentler look, consider Restylane Refyne or Juvederm Volbella.

Nasolabial Folds (smile lines): These are the grooves that extend between the sides of your nose to the corners of the mouth. My preferred fillers for this area are Juvederm Ultra Plus, Juvederm Vollure, Restylane Defyne, and Restylane Lyft.

Cheeks: Adding volume back into the cheeks is one of my favorite things to do. In this area, I prefer Juvederm Voluma, Restylane Lyft, and Restylane Contour. Sculptra is also a nice, longer lasting filler for the cheeks but necessitates multiple treatments.

Marionette Lines: These fine lines and grooves can be challenging to treat. Currently, my favorite fillers for this area are Restylane Refyne and Restylane Defyne.

Jowls and Laxity: This is an area that is being treated more and more. I've been using Juvederm Vollure for many patients. although Juvederm Vollux is a new filler specifically FDA approved for the jawline.

If you are considering facial fillers, make sure to be treated in the office of a real plastic surgeon or dermatologist in case you have complications. There are too many people injecting fillers who aren't properly trained or backed up!
