Dermatologic surgeons and other field experts have worked together to develop and test injectable substances that smooth wrinkles and add volume to your skin. Injectables create the look you desire without invasive procedures. Dr. David L. Graham at Silver Leaf Dermatology offers aesthetic injectables, including Belotero® and Radiesse® to Edmond and Enid, Oklahoma, area patients who want an impressive change that doesn’t require surgery.
Aesthetic Injectables Q & A
What is Belotero Balance?
Belotero Balance is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler that rebuilds lost facial volume, primarily in your mouth area. This injectable is especially useful for filling in the smoker’s lines that form around your lips and adding volume to your lips.
Belotero Balance produces a natural-looking result. These results last six months on average, but you can maintain your new look with follow-up treatments twice per year.
What is Radiesse?
Radiesse offers two principal benefits: you see immediate results and can enjoy the benefits of a gradual increase in your natural collagen levels. This dermal filler is made of smooth calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres contained in a gel base of sodium carboxymethylcellulose.
Radiesse typically works best in areas like the grooves that can develop on the sides of the nose and mouth over time, called nasolabial folds. Your results from Radiesse are likely to last for one year or longer.
Can you combine the different injectables?
Many patients at Silver Leaf Dermatology have two or more types of injectable treatments during a single visit.
For example, if you’re concerned about forehead lines, nasolabial folds, and a lack of lip volume, Dr. Graham can address all three issues in the same visit. Botox or Xeomin corrects the forehead lines, Radiesse fills in the nasolabial folds, and Belotero Balance adds the desired lip volume.
