Simple Radiance
offers several dermal filler treatment options which
include:
Restylane,
Perlane,
Juvederm and Juvederm Ultra Plus,
Captique™ and Radiesse.
Restylane is a safe and natural cosmetic dermal filler that
restores volume and fullness to the skin, Restylane
corrects moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such
as the nasolabial folds.
Restylane is the first cosmetic dermal filler made of
non-animal based hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a
natural substance that already exits in the human body. The
hyaluronic acid in Restylane is a crystal clear gel called
NASHA, or Non Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid. NASHA is
biodegradable and completely biocompatible with human
hyaluronic acid. Unlike other hyaluronic acid based
products, such as those made from rooster combs, Restylane
is non-animal based. This quality virtually eliminates the
risk of animal based disease transmission and allergic
reaction.
Restylane requires no pre-testing, but you should take a
few precautions before being treated. Avoid using aspirin,
non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, fish oils, St. Johns’ Wort, or high doses of Vitamin E supplements (greater than
100 IU/day) prior to treatment, because these may increase
bruising or bleeding at the injection site. Also, if you
have previously suffered from facial cold sores, there is a
small risk that the needle punctures could contribute to a
recurrence.
Why
use Restylane? For many people who are not quite ready for
a surgical face lift, Restylane may provide an alternative
treatment with effective results for a number of years when
treatment is repeated approximately every 6 months.

Perlane is an injectable cosmetic dermal filler that has
been used to soften wrinkles and facial lines of
individuals. It is also a popular filler for lip
augmentation, facial depressions, and facial scarring.
Perlane is made from non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid
gel. Perlane is a non-animal product and does not pose any
risk of allergies. Hyaluronic acid is a resilient chemical
and can easily adjust and mold to the facial contours. No
prior skin testing is required prior to the injection of
Perlane. The hyaluronic acid in Perlane augments the body’s
natural supply, which has become depleted with age. The
injected Perlane fills up scars, lines and wrinkles on the
face.
Perlane is not a permanent product and is broken down in
the body. New studies show that at the most, the treatment
is effective for up to one year after injection of Perlane. This is a much
longer period than any of the currently available temporary
dermal fillers. (Source: Medicis)

Juvederm is a smooth filler using HYLACROSS technology
which creates a high degree of cross-linking and has a
duration for up to 6 months or longer. As with other
hyaluronic fillers it instantly smoothes out wrinkles and
folds along the side of the nose to the mouth.
Juvederm Ultra Plus is a formulation for volumizing and
correcting deeper wrinkles and folds. Look smooth and
natural with Juvederm injectable gel. As with any
hyaluronic acid filler, most people do not require anything
more than a topical cream and ice before their injection
and may return to normal activities immediately.
Juvederm Ultra-plus has been shown in studies to last for
up to one year.

Captique™ is a dermal filler that was approved by the FDA
in 2004 for cosmetic use. Captique™ injections can be used
to fill deep folds and wrinkles in the face, resulting in
improved facial contours and a rejuvenated appearance.
Captique™ injections are used to fill deep facial folds and
wrinkles, such as the nasolabial folds that often form on
either side of the nose and extend down to the sides of the
mouth. Because Captique™ is composed of plant-based
hyaluronic acid, no pre-testing for allergic reactions is
necessary before Captique™ injections are administered.
Captique™ is a colorless gel that provides immediate volume
enhancement results, whether it’s used to fill wrinkles and
folds or to plump up lips. However, more than one treatment
may be necessary, depending on the depth of the wrinkles or
folds or the desired plumpness of the lips. The results of
Captique™ injections can last anywhere between four to six
months and up to one year; to maintain the results,
maintenance injections will be necessary.

Radiesse is a calcium based micro sphere that is FDA
approved for the lines that run down from the side of the
nose to the mouth (nasolabial folds). It is the next
generation in longer lasting wrinkle correction that
typically lasts up to a year.
Usually an anesthetic is administered for patient comfort
and there is little to no down time, with most patients
returning to normal activities after treatment. It has been
shown to stimulate the growth of new collagen and
because it lasts longer than the hyaluronic fillers, fewer
injection sessions are needed to keep your face restored to
it’s full volume.
