Med Spa – Injectables

Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers can soften wrinkles, create structure, and restore volume to the face and lips. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring substance that creates a hydrated and more youthful appearance in the skin. We carry a wide variety of Juvederm and Restylane fillers to suit every need. The products used and the amount needed varies on a case-by-case basis. Your injector will assess your features and recommend appropriate products based on your desired aesthetic and facial anatomy.

Who is a Candidate for HA Fillers?

Most patients who are concerned with signs of aging like volume loss, wrinkles, or folds are good candidates for HA fillers. It can also be useful for rejuvenating the hands or adding volume to areas like the lips or chin. Before you receive your injections, the treatment area will be evaluated to ensure that HA filler is the best option for you, and your injector will determine which product would be most beneficial for your concerns. They will also review your health history to ensure that you do not have any health conditions or allergies that would prevent you from safely receiving injections. For example, patients who take blood-thinning medications are typically not good candidates for filler.

What is Juvéderm?

Juvéderm is a popular dermal filler composed of hyaluronic acid. The Juvéderm line of products can be used for age-related volume loss, fine lines and wrinkles, or non-surgical augmentation of facial features like the lips or cheeks. At Maxwell Aesthetics, we offer several Juvéderm options to address our patients’ needs and meet their cosmetic goals.

Juvéderm Volbella

Juvéderm Volbella is specifically designed for use in the lips or wrinkles around the mouth, such as “smokers’ lines.” The product includes lidocaine, making injections more comfortable overall. Juvéderm Volbella is less dense or firm than Ultra Plus XC, meaning that results may appear subtler or more natural to suit your personal preferences or needs. Results typically last up to a year.

Juvéderm Vollure

Juvéderm Vollure is intended to treat moderate to severe lines and wrinkles. It is useful for wrinkles caused by volume loss and sagging, such as the “parentheses lines” or nasolabial folds that develop around the nose and mouth.

Juvéderm Voluma

Juvéderm Voluma XC is most often used to restore volume to the cheek area. This product is formulated to move naturally while remaining firm and adding youthful volume to the midface, resolving wrinkles or sagging. Juvéderm Voluma XC is injected deeper into the tissues of the cheeks to create a more youthful appearance. It can also be used to contour the chin and add definition to this area. Results can last up to two years.

What is Restylane?

Restylane is useful for treating fine lines and wrinkles, restoring youthful volume, or creating plumper lips. Many Restylane products utilize proprietary XpresHAn Technology, which means that the hyaluronic acid is produced with cross-linked gel for more natural movement and results. Maxwell Aesthetics offers several Restylane products to treat areas such as the cheeks, lips, nasolabial folds, and perioral area.

Restylane Lyft

Restylane Lyft can be used to restore volume and create a more youthful look in either the face or hands. It was designed to create a smooth and full appearance by replacing fat that is naturally lost as you age. The product is especially useful for the midface or cheek area to provide volume and reduce sagging or folds.

Restylane Defyne

Restylane Defyne can be used to smooth deeper lines, like pronounced marionette lines or nasolabial folds, or to non-surgically augment the chin, creating a more defined and prominent look. Restylane Defyne uses a firmer formula, but still maintains natural-looking results through XpresHAn Technology.

Restylane Refyne

Restylane Refyne was designed to treat the laugh lines around the mouth, including nasolabial folds or marionette lines. It uses XpresHAn Technology to ensure that the product moves naturally as you make facial expressions.

Restylane Kysse

Restylane Kysse was designed to create natural volume and softness in the lips. The product was developed with Restylane’s XpresHAn Technology to ensure flexible and natural looking movement once injected. Restylane Kysse results typically last a year.

How Long Does HA Filler Last?

You will see immediate effects from your injections, but due to swelling final results are usually seen about a week after the procedure. Like all hyaluronic acid fillers, Juvederm and Restylane injections are not permanent, as the body naturally and safely breaks down the product over time. This means that you will require maintenance injections to keep up your results. The longevity of your results will depend on the specific product and the injection site. On average, Juvederm and Restylane results last anywhere from 6-24 months. Your injector will explain what you can expect during a consultation.

Is There Down Time After HA Fillers?

After receiving HA filler treatment, it’s important to follow proper aftercare to ensure optimal results. Avoid touching or massaging the treated areas for at least 24 hours, and refrain from intense exercise, heat exposure, or alcohol consumption for 48 hours. Swelling, bruising, and tenderness are common but typically subside within a few days. If you experience any unusual symptoms or concerns, contact our office for guidance. Follow these simple steps to ensure the best outcome and maintain your beautiful results.
