Wrinkle Fillers (such as Restylane®, Perlane®, Juvederm®, Radiesse®, Prevelle Silk™ and Hydrelle™)

As we age, facial wrinkles and creases begin to appear as the underlying collagen begins to thin, break down and disappear. Environmental aging from sun damage, wind and cold further contribute to this process. Years of research finally resulted in the perfecting of a totally synthetic version of a plumping substance found naturally in the skin: Hyaluronic Acid (HA). Stabilized to last for several months, this soft, natural wrinkle filler has become the favorite “standard”.

 

The Consultation

You will have a private, in-depth consultation with Dr. Back where he will review with you everything you want and need to know. After an examination, together you will discuss your goals and his recommendations. All the details of the procedure will be reviewed and you will also have ample time for questions. Typical “before & after” photos as examples are on hand as a part of this process.

 

The Procedure

The HA’s come in a single use pre-packaged sterile syringe. HA is a crystal clear gel which is already mixed with a gentle numbing agent to improve comfort during treatment. Dr. Back uses sculpting techniques to eliminate wrinkles or folds, plump or fill out the cheeks or lips and soften and smooth lines. A healthier, natural, younger and sensual look typically results. HA’s are synthetic – no animal or human source – minimizes risk for allergy or reaction.

 

The Recovery

Mild swelling and/or mild bruising lasting less than 24 hours is common. There are no restrictions or precautions otherwise. Makeup, lipstick and all normal activities can be resumed in one day. A repeat treatment is not usually necessary for several months.
