Juvéderm®, Restylane®, RADIESSE®, and Voluma®
One of the most popular cosmetic procedures performed is placing injectable fillers into various areas of the face. The results are instant and are long lasting. With injectable fillers there is minimal discomfort and these procedures can often be performed as “lunch-time” procedures. Dr. Biggerstaff uses FDA approved products such as RADIESSE® and Juvéderm® to soften facial folds and wrinkles and to enhance the lips.
Juvéderm®
Juvéderm® is a non-animal based hyaluronic acid gel that is injected into the dermis of the skin to restore volume and fullness. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that already exists in the human body and is used to provide volume and fullness to the skin. Because Juvéderm® is a non-animal based product there is virtually no risk of animal-based disease transmission or allergic reaction. Juvéderm® is currently FDA approved for correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles such as nasolabial folds, however it can also be safely used to enhance the size and shape of the lips and to treat other facial wrinkles. Studies have shown that the average treatment lasts 6-12 months.

Voluma®
As skin ages it begins to lose volume and starts to sag. Voluma is the first FDA approved injectable gel filler that adds natural looking volume to the cheek area to correct age related volume loss. This injectable can create contour and subtle lift instantly. To reduce discomfort during injection, Voluma also contains an anesthetic called Lidocaine. Natural -looking results last up to 2 years with optimal treatment.
