Sculptra® Aesthetic
Like Radiesse, FDA-approved Sculptra Aesthetic is another product that replaces collagen in the body, however with a different delivery protein. Sculptra is a product that is best administered by an advanced injector like Zenn Plastic Surgery Master Injector Tara Cypher RN, MSN, CANS, as it requires special advance preparation.

Restylane®
Restylane is another excellent choice when it comes to hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers. It is similar to the Juvéderm line of products. Like other dermal fillers, a small needle is used to inject the product. Restylane smooths away wrinkles, folds, and bumps on the skin. Effects generally last six months. If you seek treatment for a second time, at 4 ½ to 9 months after your first treatment, Restylane can last up to 18 months.
The Juvéderm® Family Of Fillers
The Juvéderm collection of dermal fillers treats multiple facial aging conditions and areas and includes the original Juvéderm formula, Ultra, Ultra Plus, Volbella, Volure, and Voluma. Thanks to the hyaluronic acid (HA) of Juvéderm® fillers, patients gain immediate facial volume. Each product differs in consistency and duration of action, and can be used in specific areas to achieve beautiful results. Juvéderm products allow the skin to retain moisture better, feel softer, and receive the key nutrients it needs for a more youthful appearance.
Radiesse®
Collagen is the key to soft and supple skin in youth. Unfortunately as we age, collagen production decreases, causing the skin to sag. Radiesse stimulates the body to make more collagen. Radiesse is often used to rejuvenate the face and hands and is composed of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), a mineral naturally found in the body. Following a Radiesse session, some bruising and swelling may occur, however, these symptoms will not last long. Most patients are able to return to daily activities fairly quickly. Results are apparent immediately, and due to the stimulation of new collagen production, they generally improve over time and last as long as one year, sometimes two. When the effects of Radiesse eventually begin to diminish, an occasional “touch-up” treatment can help to maintain optimal results.
