The treatment smoothes the skin and gives you a more youthful appearance. Hyaluronic acid (Restylane) is a natural substance found in living organisms. It is produced in a laboratory and injected into fine lines and wrinkles. It can also be used to increase fullness in the lips. In 2004, 882,469 hyaluronic acid injections were performed in the U.S. The treatment lasts from several months to a year. Calcium hydroxylapatite (Radiesse) is a newer soft tissue filler. It’s a synthetic version of a natural substance found in bone and teeth. Last year, 69,439 procedures were done in the U.S. The treatment is more expensive than collagen or hyaluronic acid, but lasts much longer. Results with calcium hydroxylapatite last for two years or more. Today, consumers have a choice when it comes to dermal fillers. In addition to the ever popular Botox, there are other types of dermal fillers such as Juvederm, Restylane, Perlane, Hylaform, etc. The business for dermtalogists offering these new fillers is booming. Patients are also better informed on the options and are driving the demand for these fillers in their quest for “Picture perfect Beauty”. Many are repeat customers who get these treatments regularly to maintain the look. The cost of these treatments range from a few hundred dollars to thousands of dollars which many believe is worth every penny. And depending on the type of filler used, the results last from a few months to several years.
