Many people choose to plump up their lips, get rid of wrinkles, and smooth creases due to age. Other people opt for injectable fillers in order to get rid of shallow facial contours or to cover up deep scars. No matter what your reason might be, the fact remains that injectable fillers can alter your appearance quickly and safely. There are numerous types of fillers available today including Juvederm, Radiesse, natural fat, and collagen. In addition, Botox is a muscle paralyzer that can smooth the forehead and eliminate crows feet. Attempting to decide upon the right kind of filler for your face is often a difficult choice. With the help and guidance of Dr. Racanelli, this decision will become a lot easier. Juvederm is an extremely popular type of filler that includes an acid-based gel called “hyaluronan.” Hyaluronan is composed of hyaluronic acid, which is a type of sugar that occurs naturally within your body. Since Juvederm is derived from a natural sugar, these injections are safe for all skin types. Juvederm injections are instantly noticeable and long lasting. Juvederm can do wonders for laugh lines, excessively thin lips, and deep creases throughout your face.
Radiesse is another popular choice thanks to its immediate effects. Radiesse is a natural filler that works with all body types. As each day passes, Radiesse stimulates your body creating new collagen while helping existing collagen to grow around your target area. While the results of a Radiesse injection are instant, this filler will keep working with your body long after that initial visit. Natural fat injections are another good option, since they are derived from your own body. This type of filler is harvested from your stomach, thighs, or buttocks. Once an ideal amount of fat has been extracted, it is then injected into those places that you wish to enhance. Fat is routinely used to correct deep nasolabial folds, augment lips, and plump cheeks. Collagen may be a good choice for some people based upon the fact that it is a natural protein. Some types of Collagen are derived from human dermis, while others are derived from animal dermis. If you choose to have Collagen injections, Dr. Racanelli will determine the right kind of injection for your skin type. Lastly, Botox is a muscle paralyzer that can be used for a number of reasons. Since Botox prevents muscles from contracting, the skin that surrounds a particular muscle will not be able to form additional wrinkles due to muscle activity. Botox is regularly employed to smooth the forehead, elevate the brows, and eliminate crows feet.
