Injectable Fillers:
Restylane, Perlane & Juvederm are crystal-clear gels used to smooth out facial wrinkles and folds, and to fill out lips. They contain non-animal, stabilized, hyaluronic acid which is similar to that naturally found in our skin, eyes, and joints. When injected into the skin, the gel helps to restore the skin hyaluronic acid that is lost with age. In many cases, it is a great alternative to surgery.
Dr. Benjamin Barankin has also become an expert in newer filler agents such as Evolence, Radiesse, and Sculptra which appear to last longer. The correct use of fillers requires artistry and the proper appreciation of light and shadowing in order to give a natural, younger appearance. Very commonly, Filler treatments may be combined with BOTOX for optimal skin enhancement.
Each treatment session takes 15-45 minutes and results last anywhere between 5-12 months. Filler treatments are simple, quick and very safe. They give natural volume and smooth out wrinkles instantaneously, resulting in healthy, natural looking skin. Dr. Benjamin Barankin performs all Filler injections himself and advises that a specialist (eg. Dermatologist) is best trained to safely and effectively optimize your appearance.
