Facial fillers are a popular cosmetic treatment that offers a range of benefits for individuals seeking facial rejuvenation. These injectable gel-like substances, typically made from hyaluronic acid, provide a non-surgical solution to restore volume, enhance contours, and minimize the appearance of wrinkles and folds. While each brand of dermal filler has its own focus, they each serve to smooth wrinkles and lines, so you appear youthful, refreshed, and rejuvenated.
The benefits of facial fillers include immediate results, as they can instantly plump and smooth out areas of the face. They can also address specific concerns such as adding volume to the cheeks, defining the jawline, filling in deep creases, and softening nasolabial folds. Furthermore, facial fillers offer a natural-looking outcome, as the hyaluronic acid mimics the body's own moisture-retaining properties, providing a youthful and refreshed appearance. The treatment is minimally invasive, with little to no downtime, making it a convenient option for individuals looking for a quick and effective way to enhance their facial features.
At Éternité Medical Aesthetics & Longevity Centers, we are proud to offer a variety of dermal fillers to match the needs of the individual patient. All of the dermal fillers that we offer are very safe, with little chance of an adverse reaction.
Restylane products are a line of dermal fillers that offer a versatile and effective solution for facial rejuvenation. These injectable fillers are formulated with hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps retain moisture and maintain skin volume. Restylane products are designed to address various aesthetic concerns, including smoothing wrinkles and fine lines, adding volume to the cheeks and lips, and enhancing facial contours. It is used to treat nasolabial folds that extend from the nose to the corners of the mouth, marionette lines that extend from the corners of the mouth down to the jawline, and vertical lip lines. In general, the results typically last six to nine months.
Designed for facial dynamics. Your face is dynamic—making millions of movements. Repetitive movements like laughing and talking create facial lines called dynamic wrinkles and folds. Because these areas are mobile, treating facial lines can be difficult. Sometimes fillers can make the treated area look stiff and unnatural when the face is moving. The RHA® Collection is different. It is designed to be resilient enough to adapt to your dynamic facial movements for a look that’s beautiful at rest and flawless in motion.
Sculptra is a unique dermal filler that offers a distinct approach to facial rejuvenation. Sculptra is a class of filler known as a stimulator. A polylactic acid designed to trigger the body to produce more collagen. Polylactic acid has been used for more than four decades for sutures to help collagen growth around incisions. Unlike traditional fillers that provide immediate results, Sculptra works gradually to stimulate collagen production in the skin, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed appearance over time. It is composed of poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible substance that has been used in medical applications for many years. Sculptra is typically administered through a series of injections strategically placed in areas of volume loss and facial wrinkles. It is particularly useful for the lower face. Sculptra’s effects take longer to become visible as it works from within. Results occur gradually over a few months. This filler normally requires three monthly treatments to achieve the full effect. This filler has long-lasting results but may require occasional touch-ups.
Juvéderm is very popular and effective line of hyaluronic acid fillers. It can be used to treat all of the same concerns as Restylane, as well as adding lifting volume to the cheeks.

ARE DERMAL FILLERS RIGHT FOR ME?
For some patients, dermal fillers are not enough – particularly people who have a more extreme case of sagging skin, jowls, or a fatty chin or neck. The effects of most fillers can last from about four months up to about a year. Surgery produces long term results. While no cosmetic procedure can stop the aging process, there is an art to looking the best you can at any age. Dermal fillers give you a natural appearance of vitality in just one short visit and no downtime.
HOW ARE DERMAL FILLERS DIFFERENT?
The differences in the chemical makeup, longevity and relative softness of the various dermal fillers determine which filler will achieve the most natural-looking facial rejuvenation. Thicker fillers may be used to bring more definition to the cheekbones, creating a lifting effect. Based on your desires, we will customize a facial enhancement treatment specifically for you. Many patients find dermal fillers are exactly what they need to look their best without surgery or downtime.
