Restylane and Juvederm
Restylane and Juvéderm® are smooth gel fillers that ease under the skin to instantly smooth out “Parentheses Lines” on the sides of your nose and mouth. So smooth and natural that everyone will notice, but no one will know. Both are FDA-approved cosmetic dermal fillers made of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that already exists in the human body.
Restylane® and Juvéderm® are used to treat superficial lines and wrinkles but also more pronounced, deeper wrinkles (your laugh lines, for example). The goal is to restore volume and fullness to the skin to correct facial wrinkles and folds, giving you a smoother, more youthful appearance. Dr. Davie performs all of these procedures and has undergone intense training from recognized leaders in the field of cosmetics.
Radiesse
Natural Radiesse® is an FDA-approved cosmetic dermal filler made of calcium-based microspheres suspended in a natural gel that is injected under the skin to instantly and safely fill and correct deeper furrows, naso-labial folds and wrinkles around the nose and mouth.
Radiesse® is used to treat deeper wrinkles (your laugh lines, for example). Radiesse® restores volume and fullness to the skin to correct these deeper facial wrinkles and folds, giving a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Sculptra
Sculptra®, is a synthetic injectable material known as “poly-L-lactic acid.” Sculptra® is injected into the dermis of the skin in the area of fat and volume loss. Sculptra® helps lift, smooth and firm-up your skin gradually. Sculptra® provides an increase in skin thickness.
