Dermal Fillers for Wrinkles, Lines, Lips and Hands
JUVEDERM™ and RESTYLANE™
Juvederm and Restylane dermal fillers offer a safe and effective non-surgical option for smoothing facial wrinkles and folds. Juvederm is one of the newest FDA approved fillers for lines and wrinkles.
This filler lasts up to 6 months and is great for lip augmentation and nasolabial lines (facial parenthesis). Juvederm gel is very smooth and gives a natural look and feel. Juvederm does not require allergy testing. The injection process takes about 15 to 20 minutes and the results are immediate.
What to Expect During Treatment
Because injectable gels are a simple, nonsurgical treatment, there is minimal recovery or downtime. So you can make an appointment to stop by our office for treatment on the way home from work or the gym, or even while the kids are at soccer practice-and get right back to your life.
Radiesse
Longer lasting FDA approved filler. Radiesse stimulates the body’s own natural collagen supply. Radiesse is great for nasolabial folds and marionette lines. May also be used for chin augmentation, cheek and laugh lines, jowl lines and nose.* Gives good support and correction to deep wrinkles and a little product goes a long way.
Radiesse can last for up to 12 to 24 months and no skin testing is necessary to use the product. The results are smooth and regenerating especially on the jowl lines and cheeks.
Radiesse is also used for hand rejuvenation. Once the face is rejuvenated the hands may still give away your age. Rejuvenating the hands with Radiesse is a simple and quick procedure that can be done in an office visit.

ArteFill®
ArteFill is the first and only FDA approved non-resorbable wrinkle filler for the correction of smile lines. It is a simple in office procedure and usually requires one to two treatments. Immediate, visible results are noted with no downtime.
Female Results with Artefill
ArteFill is a good alternative for those patients who do not want to return for repeat treatments with temporary dermal filler. Effects look very smooth and natural.
Artefill lasts 5 years or longer and therefore should be placed only by experienced injectors. In our office Dr. Aguila personally does the injections.
Male Results with Artefill
ArteFill answers the growing demand for a safe and long-lasting injectable wrinkle filler for the correction of smile lines.
Lip Augmentation and Contouring
As we mature, our lips tend to rotate inward and lose volume. Corners of the mouth move inward and the “wet-dry” junction of the lips disappear. Placing fillers into the lips in these patients is necessary to give structure to the corners of the mouth and also to rebuild the volume to the lips that was lost. The idea is to rebuild the lips to their previous state and give them a normal contour rather than enhance their volume. The result is a return of the lips to their normal size and ratio of 1 to 1.6 of the top lip to the lower lip. We encourage our patients to bring in previous photographs to use as a guide of what their lips looked like in the past to restore their natural look.
The lips may also be augmented, adding more volume to lips that have already a good contour and ratio if patients so desire. Lip fillers are done in the office and under proper anesthesia including blocks for patient comfort. We use Juvederm or Restylene for lip enhancements.
