Injectables

INJECTABLES/FILLERS BEFORE & AFTER GALLERY. Click here...

Visible signs of facial aging occur over time as a result of sun exposure, heredity, gravity and life style. Early signs of aging include a loss of facial fullness and the development of fine lines and wrinkles. Softening facial lines and restoring volume and contour can often be achieved non-surgically with injectable fillers.

Facial injectables, or soft tissue augmentation are safe and effective procedures for reducing fine lines and wrinkles without surgery. Physician administered injections are fast and have little to no recovery time and can correct moderate to severe facial lines. Within days, your skin will look naturally smooth and refreshed.

If you would like to restore facial contours, or reduce the appearance of lines and creases, injection therapy with soft tissue fillers may be right for you.

Nu Vela Esthetica facial fillers/injectable treatments include:

BOTOX® is a simple, nonsurgical, physician-administered treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in people from 18 to 65 years of age. It is the only treatment of its type approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

One 10-minute treatment—a few tiny injections—and within days there's a noticeable improvement in moderate to severe frown lines between the brows, which can last up to four months. Results may vary.

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium, which reduces the activity of the muscles that cause those frown lines between the brows to form over time.

Restylane®, approved by the FDA in late 2003, is an effective, non-surgical facial treatment designed to slow and hide the effects of aging. Restylane® filler injections are composed of a clear hyaluronic acid-based gel that not only fills in lines and wrinkles in the face, but also adds moisture and lubrication to the skin, making it feel younger and more comfortable. Results are particularly effective around the mouth and nose and are shown to last six months or more.

Restylane® is administered in the doctor's office performed under local anesthesia and takes anywhere from a few minutes to a half hour.

Radiesse® is a safe, next generation dermal filler that volumizes the facial structure. Radiesse treatment restores a natural, youthful look that may last for a year or more. Numerous medical studies have shown that Radiesse is a safe and effective treatment for filling and correcting smile lines, nasolabial folds, and wrinkles around the nose and mouth. Radiesse stimulates the body to produce new collagen, providing immediate, visible improvement of folds and wrinkles, and provides long-lasting and beautiful results.

Radiesse is made of unique calcium-based microspheres that are suspended in a water-based gel and injected into the skin through a simple, safe, and minimally invasive procedure.

Juvéderm™ is a smooth consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid—a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration. Your physician injects Juvéderm™ under the skin to instantly restore your skin's volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and folds, like your “smile lines” or “parentheses” (nasolabial folds—the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth).

It is made from hyaluronic acid—a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to hydrate and add volume. Hyaluronic acid may diminish with age, contributing to the formation of wrinkles and folds. Juvéderm™ injectable gel works to correct this by restoring hyaluronic acid in your skin, helping to smooth wrinkles and folds.

Sculptra® is an enduring treatment approved by the FDA for restoration and/or correction of the signs of facial fat loss, or lipoatrophy, in people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). It is the first FDA-approved product of its kind for this condition.

Facial fat loss, or lipoatrophy, is the loss of fat beneath the skin, which can result in sunken cheeks, indentations, and hollow eyes. Sculptra® is a safe, synthetic, and biocompatible material that is injected below the surface of the skin in the area of fat loss. It provides a gradual and significant increase in skin thickness, improving the appearance of folds and sunken areas. No skin testing is required.

Fat Transfer or autologous fat transplantation or micro-lipoinjection, plumps up facial features using the patient’s own fat. Fat transfer to the face is a safe, natural, non-allergenic procedure designed to recontour your face or other areas of the body, and can provide definition to your cheeks and chin. It can also be used to correct facial deformities. Since fat transfer uses your own fat cells, allergic reactions are avoided. Long-lasting results have been proven to last about three years.

Fat transfer is performed in our facility using a local anesthesia on both areas affected by the procedure - from where the fat is taken, and the treatment site where the fat is re-injected. Using a small needle attached to a syringe, fat is removed from a donor site where your fat is most tightly packed, such as your abdomen or your buttocks.
