If your quest for younger-looking skin has been exhausted by “guaranteed to work” moisturizers and lotions, you aren’t alone. As your body’s largest organ, the skin is often the first area to show visible signs of aging—leaving men and women alike to search for ways to rejuvenate their appearance.

Injectable treatments are an effective method for restoring volume and are a great alternative to the more invasive surgical procedures. At Lickstein Plastic Surgery, we offer a handful of different dermal fillers to help you achieve that youthful-looking glow. But choosing the best dermal filler will depend on your unique needs.

Forehead Wrinkles

If your problem areas lie with deep facial lines and wrinkles, neurotoxins will offer best results. Neurotoxins, like Botox® and Dysport®, are different than dermal fillers and work by actually blocking the nerve impulses that causes these muscles to contract.

Thin Lips

Whether through aging or genetics, thin lips can look disproportionate to the rest of your facial features. If you desire a more youthful, attractive plumpness to your pout, our injectable options include JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC and Restylane® Silk.

Both of these fillers are infused with lidocaine, to help ensure comfort during and after your treatment session. So those with lidocaine allergies should look for other dermal filler options. Add volume and fullness to your lips with results that last from 6 to nine months.

Nasolabial Folds

Folds and wrinkles around the lips and nose area can create some serious self-image issues. As you age, loss of collagen on your face is normal, but one natural way to plump and hydrate skin is with hyaluronic acid fillers. This solution is found naturally in your skin, so by using dermal fillers that are made up of this substance, like JUVÉDERM® XC and Restylane®, you can smooth out these embarrassing lines and wrinkles.

Both of these fillers offer a visible improved appearance with the first 24 to 48 hours. JUVÉDERM® XC results can last up to a year, while those who receive Restylane® may require another treatment within about six months.

Sunken Cheeks

If you have a hollow-looking appearance from a lack of facial definition in your cheeks, dermal fillers can offer natural-looking results. JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC can effectively lift and enhance your cheeks, taking years off your appearance.

This dermal filler is well-liked among our patients for its long-lasting results (up to two years) and immediate improvement.

If you’re searching for skin rejuvenation, a dermal filler at Lickstein Plastic Surgery may be the right solution for you. Many of our patients appreciate the subtle results of our dermal fillers—allowing for a more youthful appearance that others often can’t tell is from cosmetic treatment.
