An early sign of aging is the loss of facial fullness and the onset of
wrinkles. Many people today combat these natural occurrences with injectable fillers. These fillers can restore volume and fullness in the face and reduce the appearance of lines and creases.

Specific applications include:
- Plumping thin lips
- Enhancing shallow contours
- Softening facial creases and wrinkles
- Improving the appearance of recessed scars

At Visionary Eye Care, we use Restylane, Juvederm, and Radiesse for injections. Restylane and Juvederm are naturally occurring gels that eliminate any chance of disease transmission and both have an effectiveness expectancy of six to nine months. Radiesse is a thicker filler that can be used to sculpt deeper facial tissues; it lasts up to 16 months.

We use ice, nerve blocks, and anesthetic cream to prevent discomfort during the process.

The results will be apparent immediately. Initially, you might have mild
swelling or bruising, temporary numbness, or an "over-filled" appearance. These conditions will improve in a day or two.

You should understand that the cosmetic benefits of injectable fillers are not permanent. Depending on the filler used and the location injected, the effects last from a few months to a year. Should you choose not to repeat treatment, your appearance will return to its original condition.
