Fillers come in several forms and have a variety of functions.Temporary fillers consist of hyaluronic acid which is found naturally in our skin and joints.Restylane,juvederm and Teosyal are all examples of these type of temporary fillers.They typically last 6-12 months depending on where it is placed.  Radiesse is an example  of a temporary filler which is calcium based which lasts somewhat longer,generally 12-18 months but cannot be used in the lips.  Patients are truly  impressed how lines and wrinkles can be filled in a matter of minutes with results  apparent right away.The areas of treatment are  numerous :

1) Nasolabial folds: The lines between the nose and corners of the mouth arise due to smiling and are the most common area to be treated with fillers.

2) Marionette lines(melomental folds), Sad lines

3) Lips:

4) Volume: One of the most important and sometimes overlooked areas to treat are the cheeks and pre jowl area of the jaw.As we age,we deflate and lose volume in these areas resulting in a tired and aged appearance.The filler which is placed in these areas replenishes the lost volume and provides the face with a significant LIFT.

5) Other areas: Frown lines,forehead lines,lip lines can all be filled.The brow can also be lifted and angulation of the nose corrected.

With those treatments, achieving results is an art, finding an experienced physicians is key to find the optimal results.  When choosing a physician, ask for the number of patient the physician has treated with the given technique, and listen to his beauty philosophy.  You want to make sure you work with someone that sees beauty the way you do.  Then get ready to age gracefully…and shine at your best!
