Botox treatments are quick, taking 10-15 minutes and can usually be done the same visit. If you are new to filler procedures, like Restylane, the injections can take 15-30 minutes and will most likely be scheduled at a follow up visit.

What Is JUVÉDERM™ Injectable Gel?

Recently approved by the FDA, Juvéderm™ injectable gel is a "next-generation" dermal filler. The smooth consistency gel helps to instantly restore your skin's volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and folds, like your "smile lines" or "parentheses" (nasolabial folds—the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth).

Juvéderm™ is a smooth consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid—a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration. Your healthcare professional eases Juvéderm™ injectable gel under the skin to provide a smooth, natural look and feel—so everyone will notice (but no one will know)! In fact, studies show superior results of Juvéderm™ compared to a collagen-based dermal filler.* And, almost 90% of all study volunteers who were treated with both Juvéderm™ injectable gel and another dermal filler* preferred Juvéderm™! In addition, Juvéderm™ injectable gel is the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler that is proven to be safe and effective for persons of color.

How JUVÉDERM™ Works
Dr. Shobha N. Jetmalani eases Juvéderm™ under the skin using a fine needle to augment, or fill, the soft tissue of the dermis—the dense inner layer of skin beneath the epidermis—to add volume and diminish wrinkles and folds. Juvéderm™ injectable gel is used most effectively for those wrinkles and folds in the lower third of your face, like your "laugh lines," "smile lines" or "parentheses" (nasolabial folds), or "marionette lines" (oral commissures).

What is Restylane?

The natural beauty lift Today, many people are showing increasing interest in correcting wrinkles and folds, shaping facial contours and augmenting the lips. With RESTYLANE, you can offer your patients a complete solution for tissue-tailored facial augmentation - a natural beauty lift using the body's own material.

RESTYLANE is a crystal-clear, biodegradable NASHA (Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid)Êgel, which is injected into the dermis in tiny amounts with a very fine needle. The result is instantaneous, producingÊa long-lasting, natural enhancement, gentle and safe to the skin.

Since it was launched in 1996, RESTYLANE has undergone extensive histological and clinical studies with an increasing body of evidence relating to its ease of use, tolerability and effectiveness. Today, more than 1,500,000 treatments have been successfully carried out worldwide.

Smoothing wrinkles
Smoothing out folds and wrinkles by adding volume can make an enormous difference to a patient's appearance and sometimes make them look several years younger. With RESTYLANE, you can offer facial rejuvenation without the use of foreign elements.

For the treatment of wrinkles or folds, RESTYLANE is injected into the skin in small amounts with a very fine needle. The injected gel gives natural volume under the wrinkle, which is lifted up and smoothed out. The results can be seen immediately. Treating wrinkles with RESTYLANE is fast and safe - and leaves no scars or other traces on the face.

Sculpting lips
For many women, a fuller, more sensual mouth comes high on their wish list. With RESTYLANE, you can offer a more pronounced mouth or a soft pouting look using the body's own material.

Lip augmentation is usually carried out in two steps - pouting and contouring. To create a more pronounced mouth and fuller lips, RESTYLANE is injected into the upper and/or lower lip. This is often combined with the marking of the vermilion border by injecting the gel along the lip line. Redefining this edge leads to a more youthful and appealing look. The philtrum ridges can be defined by injecting the gel into the lines. To achieve the optimal result, a combination of these steps is often used.

Shaping facial contours Many people are looking for a slightly fuller shape for their chin. Just a touch of additional volume can make an enormous difference, giving the face a fuller or more defined appearance. Or perhaps your patient wants a rounder, more sensual line along the cheeks to bring out that youthful innocence?

Injected into the skin, RESTYLANE Perlane corrects deep folds and lifts up the skin from the cheeks and chin, giving a new shape to the facial contours.
