Dermal Fillers
Collagen is a natural element found within the body that helps support our skin, keeping it firm and plump. Excessive sun exposure, lifestyle factors and aging can diminish the levels of collagen we are born with. This is when unwelcome lines and wrinkles may appear. Hyaluronic acid is another natural element which helps the body hold on to its own moisture making it soft and supple. Over time our bodies don't produce as much hyaluronic acid, our skin looses volume and this leads to wrinkles. Dermal filler injections can fill unwanted lines, wrinkles and add definition and fullness to the lips. The results are immediate and 6 months to 1.5 years depending on the area being treated. The injections are done in office with local anesthetic and most treatments and recovery take less than an hour.
There are two main types of dermal fillers used at Alpine; the first is Juvederm which contains hyaluronic acid; it will help bring back the volume and moisture your skin has lost and can last up to 1 year. Radiesse is the second filler used. Radiesse stimulates your body to produce its own collagen, which replenishes the lost volume and reduces the signs of aging. Radiesse can last from 1 to 1.5 years.
Dermal fillers are safe to perform at the same time as many other procedures and are ideal to combine with Botox treatments.
