Dermal Fillers FAQ's
Dr. Cohen has reviewed and carefully selected four different dermal fillers for his practice.
Restylane
Juvederm
Belotero
Radiesse
Restylane, Juvederm and Belotero are very similar. Their main ingredient is hyaluronic acid, also known as HA. HA occurs naturally in your skin, where it normally repairs your skin from damage. By injecting HA into your skin, you are stimulating your skin to rejuvenate itself using its natural mechanism. The main difference between these three products (Restylane, Juvederm and Belotero) is in the exact formulation. Each product uses HA as the main, active ingredient. But, each product has a different formulation that changes how it interacts with your skin. Radiesse is slightly different, as it does not us HA, but a calcium hydroxylapatite solution, instead. This is another naturally occuring material that is in every one of your bones. The result of using Radiesse, however, is the same. For example, Belotero is useful to make subtle changes to fine lines around the lips and cheeks, as it’s a thinner solution. It’s effects last up to 6 months. Juvederm Ultra, on the other hand, can last up to 12 months and can plump the lips more effectively than Belotero. On your free consultation, Dr. Cohen will let you know which of these fillers can help you reach your goals. You will know the benefits and drawbacks of each solution, so you can make an informed choice with his guidance.
Each filler has a slightly different formulation, which will impact the amount of time you will need to recover. Also, everybody is unique in how long the recovery period will be. In general, you can expect at least a few days of swelling and bruising with any dermal filler treatments in Lake Forest, IL. Normally, you will be fully recovered within 4-5 days after your injection. Dr. Cohen advises you to book treatments at least 2 weeks before an important event, like a wedding or vacation. This will give you plenty of recovery time. You should also avoid taking aspirin and apply ice packs for the first 48 hours after your injection. It will help speed up your recovery. The important thing is to recognize that swelling can occur, that everyone reacts differently, and you should plan ahead.
