You wake up one morning and look in the mirror. Suddenly you notice facial lines that weren’t there yesterday. Facial wrinkles and creases begin to appear as the underlying collagen and elastin fibers begin to break down and wear out. While this breakdown is part of the natural aging process, it can also result from excessive squinting, frowning and smiling.
Facial augmentation with injectable fillers (such as Juvederm, Restylane or Radiesse) or implants can replace the underlying collagen that has been lost over time. These injections and implants are placed just beneath the skin where your body accepts it as your own. Through these procedures wrinkles and most scars can be improved. Deeper frown lines and nasal-labial furrows can be dramatically improved as well.
Injectables and soft implants are effective, time-tested, treatments that provide immediate results with little or no down time. If you want to smooth out those wrinkles for a more youthful, refreshed look, Dr Reed can advise you which treatment option is best for you at your free consultation.
