Facial Fillers for Cosmetic Enhancement
As we age, our skin loses its elasticity, tone decreases, and moisture diminishes. To look younger, people willingly endure the pain and expenses of cosmetic surgery. Dr. Harris offers cosmetic enhancements that will take years off your appearance without surgery. Dermal fillers, such as Juvéderm, Perlane, Radiesse, and Restylane fill in wrinkles, lessen scars, and add fullness to your lips.
Unlike face lifts, which stretch the skin, these injectable fillers add volume to create a more youthful appearance. Certain products like Perlane and Restylane increase hyaluronic acid, which naturally occurs in your body and traps moisture in your skin. Juvéderm also restores hyaluronic acid in your skin, helping to smooth wrinkles and folds in the lower third of your face. Made of calcium hydroxyapatite, Radiesse is successful for soft tissue augmentation, such as adding volume to lips and cheeks, and filling in deep skin folds and wrinkles.
Botox, another non-surgical treatment, can temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines. This purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium reduces the activity of the muscles that cause frown lines to form between your brows. During treatment, Dr. Harris injects very low doses of Botox directly into the affected muscles. Treatment usually takes about 10 minutes, and no recovery time is needed.
