Fillers – What’s the Difference?

Now more than ever, non-surgical cosmetic treatments in Bellevue are rising in popularity. And it’s no surprise since these treatments typically require no incisions, stitches, or downtime. One of the most popular nonsurgical options is dermal fillers. However, it is important to understand that not all fillers are the same. Read on to learn more about fillers in Bellevue, and which one is right for you.

Juvederm

There are several Juvederm fillers used at our office, each of which targets a specific area of the face. Juvederm products are made with hyaluronic acid, which attracts and binds water to create youthful volume under the skin. Juvederm can be used to smooth facial wrinkles and lines, as well as plump the lips. Juvederm Volbella is specifically made to add volume to delicate areas such as the lips and lines around the lips, while Juvederm Vollure is a great solution for nasolabial folds and marionette lines.

Radiesse

Radiesse is made up of Calcium Hydroxyapatite, which are small calcium spheres that are suspended in a water-based gel. Once Radiesse is injected, it provides immediate volume, but also stimulates collagen production. Over time, the gel is absorbed by the body, leaving behind your own collagen for natural rejuvenation. This filler is great for treating smile lines, marionette lines, pre-jowl folds, lines at the corners of the mouth, and chin wrinkles.

Sculptra

Sculptra is a filler meant to address signs of aging such as smile lines, marionette lines, and chin wrinkles. It is made of poly-L-lactic acid, which is naturally absorbed by the body and stimulates collagen production. This helps to add youthful volume to the skin to smooth and rejuvenate for a more youthful appearance.

There are several other types of fillers that may be best for you. That’s why it’s important to seek an experienced cosmetic injector near you to ensure the best results.
