Dermal Fillers In Philadelphia

For patients seeking transformative rejuvenation without the greater risks, costs, and downtime associated with plastic surgery, dermal fillers represent an excellent solution. Each treatment can be customized to the individual’s unique cosmetic goals, erasing signs of aging while restoring ample volume and suppleness to the complexion. Dr. Anthony C. Corrado is a triple-board-certified aesthetic authority who ensures balanced, natural-looking outcomes and your utmost safety at all times.

What are dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers, also referred to as injectables, are engineered to erase signs of aging non-surgically. Some fillers like Restylane and Juvederm are formulated with naturally occurring hyaluronic acid (HA), which acts as a hydrating agent to plump depleted facial contours and smooth away lines, wrinkles, and creases. Highly versatile, dermal fillers can be performed on their own or in combination with other aesthetic treatments to enhance results. In fact, fillers are often a component of a liquid facelift, which may also employ neuromodulators like BOTOX to comprehensively rewind the hands of time.

What is Juvederm?

Juvederm is a leading HA-based filler that comes in a wide range of formulations to address virtually any aesthetic concern, from midface volume loss to deflated, thinning lips. Juvederm’s smooth gel-like consistency is ideal for filling in wrinkles and creases that form due to the aging process, including nasolabial folds and marionette lines. Juvederm products include the following:

Juvederm Vollure XC

Vollure was created with proprietary Vycross Technology, which crosslinks HA molecules to ensure the gel is seamlessly integrated with the patient’s existing skin structure. Vollure is ideal for addressing moderate lines, wrinkles, and folds around the mouth and nose.

Juvederm Voluma XC

Voluma, also engineered with patented Vycross Technology, is ideal for correcting volume loss and hollowness in the cheeks. It is one of the longer-lasting injectables on the market.

Juvederm Volbella XC

Formulated with Vycross Technology, Volbella is perfect for enhancing the smile. It can create fuller, more luscious lips while erasing troublesome vertical lip lines.

Juvederm Ultra Plus XC

Ultra Plus can reshape facial contours by eradicating entrenched lines and folds that compromise the patient’s natural beauty. Additionally, Ultra Plus can aid in lip reshaping.

Juvederm XC

Juvederm XC acts to soften lines and wrinkles in the lower face. It is also a go-to solution for combating nasolabial folds and marionette lines. It is among the top best-selling fillers in the United States.

What is Restylane?

FDA-approved in 2003 for the elimination of moderate to severe facial lines, Restylane has since become a staple in Dr. Corrado’s anti-aging arsenal. Like Juvederm, Restylane products are formulated with hyaluronic acid to hydrate and plump the skin while allowing patients to maintain a natural, elegant aesthetic. Once injected, Restylane provides results that can last 6-18 months. The gel is gradually broken down by the body over time, leaving behind no residue. Restylane products include:

Restylane-L – Restylane-L is highly versatile and can be used to address signs of aging in the lips, nasolabial folds, tear troughs, and cheeks. The product is formulated with lidocaine, a numbing agent, to make treatment more comfortable.
Restylane Lyft – Restylane Lyft is perfect for reshaping the midface after aging. It can enhance volume in the cheeks for a more youthful, radiant countenance. Lyft is also used to rejuvenate depleted, age-worn hands.
Restylane Defyne and Refyne – Defyne and Refyne are made with innovative ExpresHAn Technology, which allows hyaluronic acid molecules to integrate with the patient’s existing skin scaffolding in a more effortless manner, preserving facial spontaneity.
Restylane Silk and Kysse – Formulated with the smallest HA molecules possible, Silk and Kysse are two leading fillers designed to augment the lips and create a fuller, more youthful-looking smile, all without sacrificing the fluidity of the patient’s movements.

What are the benefits of dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are among the most popular and requested cosmetic treatments worldwide, thanks to their subtle, rejuvenating results and lack of downtime. Advantages include:

Non-surgical and non-invasive
Quick treatment time
Patients can resume normal activities right away after their injections

Who is a suitable candidate for dermal fillers?

Almost everyone is a candidate for fillers like Juvederm and Restylane because the HA molecules used are biocompatible and there is little risk of a negative reaction occurring. Even so, it is important to undergo a private consultation with Dr. Corrado and his team to make sure fillers will be the best choice for accomplishing your aesthetic goals. Patients pursuing any type of cosmetic treatment should be healthy and have realistic expectations for their results.

What can I expect from my dermal filler session?

While most fillers come with a built-in numbing agent, your provider can administer an additional topical anesthetic if you feel especially uncomfortable with needles. Our goal is always to make sure you are at ease during your session. The needles used to inject dermal fillers are ultra-thin and do not typically cause any pain. Once the skin has been cleansed and numbed, you will receive your injections according to your predetermined treatment plan. Sessions take just minutes to complete, and you can quickly return to work, school, or leisure.

Is there any recovery after dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are non-surgical, so there is no downtime after your appointment. You will be able to resume your normal schedule right away. However, it is important to follow certain guidelines and to be aware of minor side effects that may occur. These include swelling, redness, itchiness, and tenderness at the injection sites. Symptoms fade quickly and will not interfere with your ability to perform normal daily tasks or return to work. Dr. Corrado will provide a thorough and personalized aftercare plan for you.
