About Restylane®

Restylane® Injections

Our Bakersfield practice provide Restylane® injections to our patients. One of the newest dermal treatments on the market today, Restylane® injections offer a safe approach to smoothing facial wrinkles and moisturizing the skin.

What Is Restylane®?

Restylane® is a clear biodegradable gel made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance found in the body. Hyaluronic acid fills in the spaces between collagen and elastin fibers to cushion soft tissue. Over time, the amount of hyaluronic acid in the body decreases due to the natural aging process, contributing to the appearance of facial lines and wrinkles. Restylane® injections are used to help replace the hyaluronic acid, resulting in a more youthful facial appearance.

Restylane® Treatment Process

In performing the treatment, the doctor or nurse uses a thin needle to inject Restylane® into skin tissue. The hyaluronic acid in the gel draws in water, causing the tissue near the fine lines and wrinkles to swell and attain a smoother appearance. Because the needle is very fine, patients experience little to no pain during the treatment. The entire Restylane® procedure takes less than an hour, and patients can resume their normal activities immediately after treatment. Because of this, Restylane® treatment is known as a "lunchtime" procedure. Restylane® injections can be combined with BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment for optimal aesthetic results.

Benefits of Restylane® Injections

Many patients choose to undergo Restylane® treatment because it safely and effectively reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for an extended period of time. Wrinkles around the eyes, nose, and mouth seem to disappear following Restylane® treatment without the need for invasive surgical procedures such as a facelift, brow lift or eyelid surgery. Restylane® can also add volume to lips for a fuller and more sensual pout, and it can be used to shape facial contours. The effects of Restylane® last for up to twelve months, making it one of the longest-lasting dermal fillers on the market. Because Restylane® is not animal based, the risk for an allergic reaction is minimal.

About JUVÉDERM™

JUVÉDERM™ Injectable Gel

At Beautologie, in addition to Restylane® injections, we offer treatment with JUVÉDERM™ Injectable Gel as a safe and effective alternative to animal-based dermal fillers. Recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration, JUVÉDERM™ Injectable Gel is a dermal filler made of hyaluronic acid that helps to smooth the skin and reduce the appearance of unsightly facial lines and wrinkles for an extended period of time. Because JUVÉDERM™ Injectable Gel is slowly absorbed by the body, patients who undergo treatment enjoy healthier and younger-looking skin for up to nine months.

JUVÉDERM™ Injectable Gel Process

JUVÉDERM™ Injectable Gel is administered at our practice by our expertly trained injectors in the same way as Restylane® injections. Because of the smooth consistency of the gel, patients experience little to no discomfort during treatment. The procedure lasts less than an hour and results can be seen immediately. For more information on treatment with JUVÉDERM™ Injectable Gel, contact Beautologie Cosmetic Surgery & Medical Aesthetics today.

About Bellafill®

Bellafill® Injections

Our practice is proud to offer Bellafill® injections, the first and only FDA-approved permanent wrinkle filler on the market. Also known as Artecoll®, the dermal filler has been used throughout Europe and Canada to reduce the appearance of wrinkles around the nose and mouth. Unlike Restylane® and JUVÉDERM™ Injectable Gel, Bellafill® is made of polymethylmethacrylate beads suspended in bovine collagen. The beads stimulate the production of collagen in the body, and as the solution degrades, it is replaced by the body's natural collagen. Because of this, Bellafill® provides longer lasting results than other fillers.

Bellafill® Injections Process

Your provider injects Bellafill® through a very thin needle directly into the area needing treatment. The entire Bellafill® treatment process takes less than an hour. Results are immediately apparent, and patients can return to their daily activities after their appointment.

Collagen/ Permanent Wrinkle Fillers

Scientists made the first wrinkle fillers from a purified form of collagen extracted mostly from cows. Although it worked well and offered a natural-looking fill, the results didn't last long. Most collagen injections began to break down as early as 1 month after treatment. Because these wrinkle fillers were made from an animal source, they also had a higher rate of allergic reaction and required allergy testing beforehand.
New ways of processing the collagen have helped lower the risks. Plus, new forms of synthetic collagens are making these injections safer and more useful to a wider range of people. Although the results don't last as long as other wrinkle fillers, many believe the results are more natural looking. Little Crystals called polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) are mixed with the Collagen. The collagen in Bellafill® provides immediate volume and lift while the PMMA microspheres remain in place and create a matrix that supports collagen production in your skin for lasting improvement.  RESULTS ARE SEEN UP TO 5 YEARS AFTER TREATMENT.

Collagen injections offered at Beautologie include:

  1. ArteFill now called Bellafill ™
