As we age, our skin gradually loses volume, elasticity, and hydration, leading to sagging skin, hollowed cheeks, and the formation of wrinkles. Dermal fillers offer a non-surgical solution to these common signs of aging by restoring lost volume and enhancing your facial contours. At Benehealth, we provide a range of dermal fillers tailored to your unique needs, including Hyaluronic Acid (HA) fillers for immediate hydration and plumpness, and Radiesse for long-lasting volume and collagen stimulation.
Whether you're looking to enhance your cheeks, smooth nasolabial folds, define your jawline, or rejuvenate the under-eye area, our expert injectors use advanced techniques to achieve natural-looking results that restore your youthful appearance.
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Fillers
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) fillers are among the most popular and versatile fillers available. HA is a naturally occurring substance in the skin that helps retain moisture and provide structure. As we age, our natural levels of HA decrease, leading to volume loss and the formation of wrinkles. HA fillers, such as Juvéderm and Restylane, work by replenishing this lost HA, instantly restoring volume and hydration to the skin. The result is a soft, smooth, and youthful appearance.
- Soft and Natural Results: HA fillers are ideal for those seeking subtle, natural-looking enhancement. They add volume to areas like the cheeks, lips, and under-eye without looking overdone.
- Immediate Effect: The results of HA fillers are visible immediately after the treatment, with the added benefit of improved skin hydration.
- Reversible: One of the key advantages of HA fillers is that they are reversible. If desired, the filler can be dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase.
Radiesse
Radiesse is a unique filler that not only provides immediate volume but also stimulates the production of your body's natural collagen over time. Radiesse contains calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. These microspheres provide immediate lift and volume when injected, while also encouraging your body to produce new collagen in the treated areas. As the gel carrier is absorbed, your natural collagen takes its place, providing long-lasting results that can improve over time.
- Long-Lasting Results: Radiesse is known for its durability, with results that can last up to a year or more, depending on the treatment area and individual factors.
- Collagen Stimulation: In addition to providing volume, Radiesse helps your skin rebuild its natural support structures, leading to firmer, more resilient skin.
- Ideal for Facial Contouring: Radiesse is particularly effective for enhancing facial contours, such as the jawline and cheeks, and can also be used to rejuvenate the hands.
Other Known Fillers
In addition to HA and Radiesse, there are other well-known dermal fillers that cater to specific needs:
Sculptra
Unlike other fillers, Sculptra works gradually by stimulating collagen production to restore facial volume over time. It's ideal for those seeking a subtle, progressive improvement in their appearance. Sculptra is particularly effective for treating larger areas of volume loss and for overall facial rejuvenation.
Belotero
This is another HA-based filler, but it is thinner and more lightweight than other HA fillers, making it ideal for treating fine lines and delicate areas, such as the vertical lip lines and the tear troughs under the eyes.
Restylane Lyft
A thicker HA filler designed for deeper injections, Restylane Lyft is often used to enhance cheek volume, smooth nasolabial folds, and lift the mid-face area.
What to Expect During Your Treatment
- Consultation: Every treatment begins with a personalized consultation where we assess your facial structure, discuss your aesthetic goals, and create a tailored treatment plan.
- Procedure: The filler is injected into specific areas of the face using a fine needle or cannula. The procedure is generally quick, taking about 15-30 minutes, depending on the areas treated.
- Comfort: To ensure your comfort, we may apply a topical numbing cream before the injections. Most fillers also contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic, to minimize discomfort during the procedure.
Results and Aftercare
Immediate Results
Most fillers provide immediate results, with full effects visible within a week as any swelling subsides.
Minimal Downtime
There is minimal downtime associated with dermal fillers. You may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising, which typically resolves within a few days.
