What are dermal fillers?
Dermal Fillers such as Restylane and Juvéderm re-volumize and immediately enhance specific areas of your face, including smile lines, superficial lines, and lips. Fillers can also be used to contour the cheeks and jawline.
Juvéderm, Restylane, and Restylane Silk
Why should I choose hyaluronic acid dermal fillers?
Hyaluronic acid is a sugar compound that is produced naturally in the body and provides the skin with its hydration, fullness, and elasticity. But both the production process and existing reserves of hyaluronic acid in the body are reduced due to the aging process and environmental factors. The synthetic hyaluronic acid found in dermal fillers such as Restylane and Juvéderm is near-identical to that produced in the body, allowing it to safely and effectively improve the signs of aging.
How can Juvéderm benefit me?
Juvéderm provides a smooth, natural look and feel—so everyone will notice (but no one will know)! In fact, studies show superior results of Juvéderm compared to a collagen-based dermal filler.
Juvéderm XC is a smooth gel filler that has been proven to smooth away wrinkles around your mouth and nose instantly. With just one treatment, most patients get smooth and natural-looking results that last up to a year.*
Juvéderm Voluma
Juvéderm Voluma is specifically designed to restore volume in areas of volume loss. Common areas include the cheeks, cheekbones, and chin. Additionally, due to its versatility, it is also suitable for adding definition to the jawline. It stimulates collagen and has a long-lasting effect of up to 2.5 years.*

How can Restylane benefit me?
The classic formulation from the Restylane family is used to boost volume and add fullness to the skin to improve the appearance of moderate to severe facial folds and wrinkles. These wrinkles include the nasolabial lines (the lines that extend from the corners of the nostrils to those at the mouth) and marionette lines (the lines that extend down from the corners of the mouth). In some cases, Restylane may also be used for volume-enhancing lip injections. It is safe for use in patients over 21.
Restylane Lyft
While the signs of aging tend to be most associated with lines and wrinkles, part of the process tends to include volume loss in the midface area (i.e., the cheeks). This results in a saggy or deflated appearance, which hides the youthful contours we once had. Lyft is FDA-approved for cheek augmentation—and by gradually boosting volume in this area, Dr. Brooks or her P.A. Sammy Verner can restore their patients’ facial contours to achieve a refreshed yet natural appearance.
Restylane Silk
Restylane Silk is the first product approved by the FDA that is specialized for lip augmentation, as well as to reduce surrounding perioral rhytids (vertical lines and wrinkles around the mouth). A skilled injector such as Dr. Brooks and Sammy can also tailor treatment to restore or enhance the lips’ contours. Lip augmentation with Restylane Silk is suitable for patients who have lost fullness as a result of the aging process, as well as for patients who have naturally thin lips and are simply looking for a boost.
