Facial Line Fillers
Island Plastic Surgery offers Juvederm and Sculptra to patients from Mineola, West Islip, Long Island and nearby areas.
There are several different FDA-approved facial line fillers on the market, each using varying ingredients to achieve optimal results. At Island Plastic Surgery in New York, we use Juvederm® and Sculptra® as our facial line fillers of choice. We inject the solution just below the surface of the skin, adding volume and smoothing unwanted lines and wrinkles. Both Juvederm® and Sculptra® have been proven safe and are minimally invasive with immediate results.
Facial line fillers are increasingly popular with the patients at our Mineola and West Islip offices. We see residents from across the Long Island area, including men and women from New Rochelle, Yonkers and Hempstead, NY, and Greenwich, CT. Not only can Juvederm® and Sculptra® help reduce or eliminate wrinkles, but they can also enhance lips and replace soft-tissue volume loss. Just think, in less than an hour you can say goodbye to most facial creases, including those unwanted smile lines between your nose and mouth and the marionette lines that turn down the corners of your mouth.
What is Juvederm®?
Juvederm® is an injectable gel that smooths out the wrinkles and folds on your face. The results are instant, creating soft, natural-looking skin. The key component in Juvederm® is purified hyaluronic acid. This natural complex sugar is found in all living cells, joining collagen and elastin to make up the dermis connective tissue matrix. Hyaluronic acid helps to attract and maintain water, hydrating your skin and increasing its volume and density. Of all the dermal fillers, Juvederm® has the highest concentration of hyaluronic acid. Many of our Juvederm® patients in Mineola and West Islip say the effects can last six months or longer.
Juvederm® is typically used to treat:
- Deep nasogenian grooves (the folds between your nose and cheeks)
- Nasolabial folds between the nose and the outer corners of the mouth
- Lines between the eyebrows or above the brow line
- Lines around the outer eye (crow's feet)
- Smile lines
- Thin lips
What is Sculptra®?
Men and women looking to treat skin folds, an indented chin, hollowed cheeks and sunken eyes should consider Sculptra®. Also known as synthetic poly-L-lactic acid, this solution is made from a synthetic but biocompatible material that is created from natural sources. Results can last up to two years, although you may need several initial treatments and occasional maintenance touch-ups.
Sculptra® is typically used to treat:
- Deep folds between the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds)
- Smile lines
- Lines framing your mouth (marionette lines)
- Chin wrinkles
How are Facial Line Fillers Administered?
When you undergo facial line filler treatments with us in Mineola and West Islip, we will first help you select the product that will give you the best results based on your areas of concern. A localized anesthetic will be used to minimize pain, and then the filler will be injected into lines and wrinkles on your face to fill them out. The procedure usually lasts about 15 minutes.
