Cosmetic fillers are an essential tool to restore volume and symmetry to the entire face. In combination with other treatments such as BOTOX, pulsed light, laser peels, microdermabrasion and skin care products, dermal fillers enhance aesthetic results.

The arrival of Q-Med's Restylane opened up a whole new era in dermal enhancement. The colorless gel is injected into a wrinkle or skin fold in tiny amounts with a very fine needle. It maintains its shape using the body's own moisture. Restylane has been used to shape facial contours, smooth wrinkles or sculpt lips. What results is a healthy, more youthful and fuller appearance. Since 1996, over one million individuals have received Restylane  injections worldwide. Juvederm, another hyaluronic acid-based filler has recently been approved by the FDA. It lasts even longer than Restylane due to its molecular structure.

Many cosmetic physicians, including Dr. Helinski, choose hyaluronic-based fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm. Hyaluronic acid is a substance that is found in soft tissue. It gives volume and fullness to the skin. These types of fillers have advantages over fat and collagen injections because they are not derived from animals and therefore they are longer lasting and have less chance of side effects.

How is a treatment performed?

During treatment, the crystal-clear Restylane gel is injected into the skin in tiny amounts with a very fine needle. The gel produces volume under the wrinkle, which is lifted up and smoothed out. When enhancing lips or facial contours, RESTYLANE adds volume and shape to the treated area.
