Facial Fillers
Fillers are substances that reduce lines by restoring lost volume to the face. Although there are numerous types of fillers, the most commonly used ones are collagen (Cosmoplast®), hyaluronic acid (Restylane®, Juvéderm®) and hydroxyapatite (Radiesse®) Fillers are injected into the dermis (the layer of the skin under the epidermis).
They are usually injected using topical anesthesia (anesthetic cream), although a dental block will render the area of the mouth numb, allowing painless injection of the lips and nasolabial folds. Fillers restore lost volume in the lips, nasolabial folds (the crease between the mouth and cheeks), jaw line, cheeks, hollows under the eyes and other areas of the face. Fillers are often combined with BOTOX® Cosmetic for a more thorough rejuvenation. Most procedures can be completed in about fifteen to thirty minutes.
Restylane® and Perlane® in New Jersey
 The world's most popular and most studied cosmetic dermal fillers, Restylane® and its new companion Perlane® offer exceptional treatments for moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, especially the nasolabial folds that stretch from the nose to the corners of the mouth. Restylane and Perlane replenish lost volume in the skin and restore youthful contours to the face by lifting and supporting tissues non-surgically. The outcome is a younger, smoother look with fewer lines and wrinkles. Results are immediate and long-lasting.
What is the difference between Restylane and Perlane?
The gel particles in Perlane are larger than those in Restylane, making Perlane ideal for treating deeper folds in the skin.
What areas can be treated with Restylane and Perlane?
Restylane and Perlane are FDA-approved for the treatment of moderate to severe folds and wrinkles on the face. They are extremely effective in treating the nasolabial folds, the lines that stretch from the the nose to the sides of the mouth.
How long do the effects of a Restylane or Perlane treatment last?
In general, the effects of Restylane treatments last six months, and the effects of Perlane treatments last at least six months. Results very by individual and depend on many factors, such as the patient's lifestyle, age, structure of the skin, the degree of perfection demanded and the practitioner's injection technique.
Touch-up and follow-up treatments will make the improvements of Restylane and Perlane last longer. Most patients choose to have a touch-up treatment within six months to a year of the original injection(s).

BOTOX® Cosmetic in New Jersey
 When you smile, laugh, frown, or look puzzled, you contract the muscles of your face. Over time, these contractions produce permanent furrows and deep wrinkles in the skin, especially around the eyes and mouth, between the eyebrows, and on the forehead. These lines can make you look older, sad, angry or tired. BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments can not only prevent you from deepening these lines during natural facial movements, they can also erase these marks of aging, leaving you looking younger and refreshed.
What can BOTOX® treatments do for me?
BOTOX® Cosmetic is the most popular cosmetic procedure in the country and one of our most requested services. Quick, safe and effective, BOTOX® reduces or eliminates facial lines and wrinkles for up to six months with no downtime or surgery and little to no discomfort. Through a series of tiny injections, BOTOX® gives you a rejuvenated look by smoothing crow's feet beneath the eyes, frown lines between the eyebrows, horizontal lines across the forehead, worry lines around the mouth, and lines on the neck.
How does BOTOX® work?
BOTOX® is made from a highly purified protein that is very safe when administered by a trained physician. The medication relaxes the muscles in the face that cause wrinkles. In this way, BOTOX® smoothes the lines in the skin that make you look tired or angry.
Can BOTOX® be used for conditions besides wrinkles?
Yes. BOTOX® may also be useful for migraine headaches, excessive sweating, and eye and neck muscle spasms. Talk to us about whether BOTOX® can help you.
