One of the most popular of all the fillers, Restylane is an FDA-approved cosmetic filler that’s been used by over a million people to fill in lines and wrinkles. Restylane is derived from hyaluronic acid, which binds with water, making it an extremely safe choice for a filler.

There are two versions of this product: original Restylane, intended for wrinkle correction and lip enhancements, and Perlane, for underlying facial contours, such as cheeks and chin.  It’s also used to correct deep folds, and for volume in lip augmentation. Restylane gives you instantaneous and pain-free results. Restylane injections to be effective for up to 6 months for lips and 12 months for facial lines and creases.

Perlane is the newest member of the Restylane family. The main difference between Restylane and Perlane is that Perlane’s hyaluronic acid molecules are larger, which allows it to work on building up deeper areas, increasing volume, and raising the creases and wrinkles from deep in the skin. Perlane works like a volume filler, making it perfect for larger areas like the naso labial (nose to mouth) folds, smile lines, sunken cheeks, and for lip enhancement. Studies show that the effects of Perlane last about six months.

Radiesse was developed to offer very long term effects. Made with components similar to those used in dental implants surgery, Radiesse doesn’t create allergic reactions. It’s most popularly used to re-sculpt and lift cheeks, smooth the jawline, and lifting the brow. It’s also used to re-shape noses where it’s sometimes called the non surgical nose job. The long lasting effects of Radiesse are still coming in but it lasts from one to up to 5 years.

Sculptra, cause the body to produce new collagen. It’s sometimes called the "liquid facelift," because it fills in both wrinkles and stimulates new tissue growth, giving the face an overall fuller and more youthful appearance. It’s a great choice to fill in those areas where fat loss has occurred, which are typically the cheeks, the neck and the hollows under the eyes. Sculptra is made from a safe synthetic material that is tolerated by the body and creates a gradual and significant increase in skin thickness and softness. The natural-looking improvements appear gradually over a few weeks time, so you need to be patient. On the other hand, Sculptra lasts for two years or more because it causes the body to make its own collagen. Sculptra achieves excellent results in treating all parts of the face including the areas around the eyes and lips, between the mouth and nose, cheeks and neck. It adds volume to the cheeks, to folds around the chin, and to hollow areas around the eyes.
