Austin Restylane Filler Procedures

As our skin ages, the dermis loses support and volume, leading to wrinkles and folds. Dermal fillers are commonly used to reduce or eliminate wrinkles, smooth depressed scars, enhance lips and replace soft-tissue volume loss.

A filler substance is injected beneath the surface of the skin where it temporarily plumps and smoothes the skin. There are several classes of dermal fillers that are FDA- approved, including collagen, hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxyl apatite-based fillers --- each with different properties and characteristics.

Very long lasting fillers sound good at first. But consider what would happen if you had a reaction to a long-lasting filler, or if you weren't happy with the result?

Dr. Zimmet generally recommends the hyaluronic acid fillers, like RESTYLANE® and JUVEDERM™, for their combination of safety, smooth and natural appearance, and good duration. Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of human skin and is the framework in which skin cells live. All hyaluronic acid products bind water and give the skin volume.
