Another exciting area is injectables. When we say injectables, what we mean is, that we are going to fill in or plump up, a crevice, line or a wrinkle. These may be stationary lines, not dynamic lines. There are lines such as the wrinkles we see outside of the lips. We refer to those lines as the Nasal Labial Folds.

Another area is lip lines. These lines can be made more plump by injecting substances. In the past, we have used Restylane®. More recently we started using another product called JUVÉDERM® XC. Both of these products are made from hyaluronic acid. These are natural compounds that are found in nature.

In the office we inject this into the lines and immediately can see the results. The crevices and lines are plumped up and filled out. There's very little bruising or swelling. Usually within one week people are completely recovered and look great and the affects are long-lasting.
