Dermal Filler Treatments with Dr. Cash
Dermal filler treatments are becoming more and more common, but it takes the skill and artistic sensibility of a plastic surgeon to create truly exceptional results with these products. Dr. Cash will carefully select the appropriate injection sites and the best filler to achieve the results that you want from your treatment. She offers the following filler options:
- JUVÉDERM®, PREVELLE® SILK, Perlane® and Restylane®: All of these popular wrinkle fillers are based on non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid (NASHA). Injected under the skin's surface, they provide both a support structure to smooth wrinkles and they attract moisture molecules and hydrate the skin. The three products have slightly different uses, but all are safe and long-lasting.
- RADIESSE®: RADIESSE is a calcium-based filler. It's a versatile product that can both fill wrinkles and contour where volume has been lost, and it's long-lasting as well. For some patients Radiesse lasts up to 12 months or even longer.
- Sculptra®: Poly-L-lactic acid is the active ingredient in the injectable Sculptra, a product designed to reverse the signs of facial fat loss, whether from illness or the simple process of aging. It's safe, biocompatible and long-lasting.
- ArteFill®: ArteFill contains PMMA microspheres and purified bovine collagen gel with an anesthetic for comfort during injection. The unique microspheres in ArteFill are not absorbed by the body and provide the permanent support your skin needs for long lasting (up to 5 years) wrinkle correction. A skin test must be administered 4 weeks prior to treatment to screen for allergy to bovine collagen.
The procedure typically takes only a few minutes, with minimal discomfort. Many of the products now come pre-mixed with anesthetic, so only the tiny pinch of the needle is felt. Afterwards, minor redness, swelling, and in some cases bruising may be present for a day or two, but these are easily concealed with makeup. Results typically last 6 to 12 months or longer, depending on the product and the person.
When you meet with Dr. Cash, she will assess your concerns and discuss your treatment options with you. Dr. Cash invites you to request a consultation for a personal, private appointment, or you can call 713-571-0600 to schedule a visit with us.
