Dermal Fillers

Dr. Liotta offers the following cosmetic fillers, selected by her for each patient based on their individual cosmetic needs:

Evolence®

Evolence® is an advanced collagen-based dermal filler that provides long-lasting correction of moderate to deep facial wrinkles and folds. It is especially effective for nasolabial folds (wrinkles from the nose to the corners of your mouth). Scientifically engineered to mimic the properties of natural collagen in skin, Evolence® is a breakthrough in aging treatment. Injected just below the skin's surface, Evolence® replaces facial collagen, which naturally depletes with age, and smoothes out wrinkles and folds. Evolence® uses innovative Glymatrix technology that increases the stability and longevity of the filler.

The results of Evolence® are immediate and produce a natural enhancement with little to no swelling or bruising. Any swelling you may experience right after the procedure should resolve after a few hours. Considerable results can generally be obtained after only one treatment. You may, however, desire touch-ups to further enhance your new look. Treatment results have been clinically proven to last up to 6 months, and in many cases have been reported to last as long as 12 months.

Restylane®

When we are young our skin is smooth and elastic with a healthy glow. As we age, our ability to maintain that smoothness and elasticity diminishes, resulting in skin that becomes drier, thinner and less able to replenish itself. Our body's natural collagen and hyaluronic acid levels decrease and our skin becomes looser. This leads to our skin wrinkling and appearing older than it should.

Approved by the FDA, Restylane® is designed to match your skin, smoothing wrinkles, sculpting lips or shaping facial contours. With its unique ability to bind with water, Restylane® is able to perform for many months in your skin. The most common areas for a Restylane® treatment are the glabellar lines (between the eyebrows) and the nasolabial folds (from the root of the nose to the angle of your mouth). When used for lips or facial contouring, Restylane® will add shape and volume to the area. Restylane® is able to create volume under your wrinkles, which are then lifted up and smoothed out.

Since no pre-testing is required, a Restylane® treatment can be performed almost immediately. It usually takes about 30 minutes depending on the type of correction you want. Most people find the injections relatively painless, but a topical anesthetic can be applied to the area prior to your treatment. You will be able to see the results as soon as your treatment is completed.

Restylane®, manufactured by a unique method in Sweden, is clear transparent gel composed of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that is found throughout your body. Hyaluronic acid gives volume to your skin and has been used as a lubricant in arthritic joints. It has even been used during eye surgery to protect the retina. The hyaluronic acid found in Restylane® is not of animal or human origin which means that there is no risk of disease transmittal or allergic reaction, which you might find in other cosmetic fillers. There is no need for skin tests and the risk of side effects is very low.

Perlane®

Perlane® is an injectable dermal filler used in cosmetic procedures to soften wrinkles and reduce lines and other depressions of the skin. Its natural ingredients and long-lasting results have quickly made Perlane® one of the leading cosmetic dermal fillers used today. According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, hyaluronic acid-based fillers are the fastest growing non-invasive cosmetic procedure in the United States. Like other fillers, Perlane® is easy, safe and affordable. Perlane® is particularly effective in treating deeper lines and wrinkles, as well as fine lines and imperfections.

Perlane® can be used on wrinkles and lines across the face. It is especially effective on lines which stretch from the nose to the corners of the mouth, known as nasolabial folds. Perlane® is commonly used to decrease fine lines around the lips, mouth, nose and forehead that include crow's feet, worry lines, frown lines and smile lines. It can also be used to enhance and augment the lips or chin, fill cheek depressions, redefine lip borders, soften acne or other facial scars and improve other facial depressions. Less commonly, it can also be used to fill hollows under the eyes, create a temporary eyebrow lift and soften the appearance of jowls. Most patients reach their desired results with just one injection, however some required more than one.

Perlane® is a newer, safer alternative to collagen injections, and lasts nearly twice as long, with little to no side effects. Its natural consistency has no animal product and does not require any allergic test. Perlane® is a member of the Restylane family, but Perlane® contains larger gel particles that help lift and fill deeper depressions. Perlane® can also be used with other products, such as Restylane® and BOTOX® Cosmetical. It differs from BOTOX® in that BOTOX® is a drug that helps to relax facial muscles. Perlane® often serves as an ideal "middle layer" between other products for use in deep folds.

JUVÉDERM® Injectable Gel

JUVÉDERM® is an injectable gel that gently reverses many signs of aging in the face, including fine lines and wrinkles, crow's feet, thinning lips and loosening skin. It can also "plump up" the lips, sculpt the cheeks, and restore a youthful oval shape to the face. It is made with hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in the body that works with collagen and elastin to give volume and support to the skin. Because it is non-animal-based and highly biocompatible, no pre-treatment testing is needed. JUVÉDERM® comes in three formulas optimized for the depth of the area being treated. Results last about 6-9 months and can be made to last even longer with a simple follow-up treatment a few weeks after the initial injection.
