Four Different Types of Injectable Fillers: Which is Right for You?

Handsome young man getting cosmetic injections at wellness clinic As the beauty industry continues to evolve, so do the options for maintaining a youthful appearance. Injectable fillers have become increasingly popular for those looking to combat the signs of aging without undergoing invasive surgical procedures. Among the plethora of options available, JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC, JUVÉDERM® Voluma, Restylane®, and RADIESSE® are some of the most sought-after choices. Each of these injectables offers distinct benefits, making it crucial to understand their differences to determine which one might be right for you.

JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC

JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC is a hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler that specializes in addressing moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. Hyaluronic acid is a natural component found in the human body, playing a pivotal role in maintaining skin hydration and volume. The magic of this filler lies in its ability to replenish lost hyaluronic acid, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance.

JUVÉDERM® Voluma

As time marches on, our cheeks can begin to lose volume and sag. JUVEDERM® Voluma is tailor-made to tackle this issue. This hyaluronic acid-based filler is designed to restore lost volume to the cheeks, resulting in a more youthful and lifted appearance. It’s a non-surgical solution to the common problem of age-related cheek volume loss.

Restylane®

Restylane® is a versatile hyaluronic acid filler that offers a wide range of applications. It’s effective in addressing wrinkles, lines, and creases in various facial areas. In addition to this, Restylane® can also be used for enhancing lips and treating the under-eye area, making it a go-to choice for those seeking a comprehensive facial rejuvenation treatment.

RADIESSE®

For those looking for long-lasting results, RADIESSE® is a calcium hydroxylapatite-based filler that stimulates collagen production. Collagen is a protein that provides structural support to the skin. By encouraging the production of collagen, RADIESSE® not only fills in wrinkles and lines but also gradually improves skin texture and elasticity over time.

Facial Plastic Surgery Questions

Dr. Mao will listen to your concerns, examine your facial anatomy, and discuss surgical and non-surgical options suited to your goals. You will leave with a clear understanding of what to expect.
Facial plastic surgery focuses on procedures of the face, head, and neck — both cosmetic procedures like facelift and rhinoplasty and reconstructive treatments for functional concerns.
Recovery varies by procedure and by patient. Some non-surgical treatments involve little or no downtime. After surgery, the time needed to return to work or routine activities may range from several days to several weeks, while swelling, incision healing, and final results can continue to improve for weeks or months. During your consultation, Dr. Mao will explain the expected recovery timeline, activity restrictions, and follow-up care for the procedure being considered.
Good candidates are in general good health, have realistic expectations, and have specific concerns they would like addressed. A consultation is the best way to find out.
