How Does It Work?
Bellafill combines polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) microspheres and bovine collagen. The collagen gives you instant volume while increasing the firmness of your skin. The patented microspheres fill your wrinkles and encourage continuing collagen production allowing the product to work on two levels. The initial injection fills your wrinkles and acne scars, plumping them up to create a smooth skin appearance. And the patented microspheres remain in your skin, causing it to continue producing collagen and giving you enhanced results.

What Can Bellafill Do For You?

  • It can help erase acne scars
  • It can restore lost volume in your cheeks

What Is JUVÉDERM VOLLURE XC?

How It Works
Juvéderm Vollure XC penetrates deep into the dermal layers of the skin to restore the support lost due to collagen depletion.

KYBELLA®

KYBELLA is an FDA approved deoxycholic acid injectable treatment that permanently eliminates fat cells in the area of submental fullness, also known as a “double chin.”

Deoxycholic acid occurs naturally in the body and helps to break down fats. KYBELLA® contains synthetic deoxycholic acid. So, by injecting this into the fat beneath the chin, we can eliminate unnecessary and unwanted fat cells here permanently. This makes KYBELLA® treatment an effective non-surgical option for anyone self-conscious or unhappy with their double chin.

As we age, our body begins to store fat below the chin. And unfortunately, no matter how much you exercise or eat right, this stubborn fat will remind you it’s there every time you look in the mirror. The good news is KYBELLA is the only FDA approved option that is nonsurgical and capable of getting rid of a double chin safely and effectively.

What Causes A Double Chin?
We all have a layer of protective fat that pads the area around our chin and keeps it cushioned. But as we age this area begins to plump up, more often than not making us look overweight or older, even if the rest of our body is tone and trim. Aside from lack of exercise and a poor diet, a double chin can be the result of age, weak chin muscles or a hereditary predisposition.

How KYBELLA Works
Deoxycholic acid is a molecule that naturally occurs in the body to help break down fats. KYBELLA’s active ingredient is a synthetic version of deoxycholic acid, which, when injected into the fat under the chin, gets rid of unwanted fat cells forever. The product reduces these fat cells that are then naturally shed by the body – with truly impressive results. Another great benefit of KYBELLA is that when these fat cells are destroyed, the deposits under the chin cannot return. This means that once you reach the appearance you want, there is no need to get further treatment.

Am I A Candidate for KYBELLA?
KYBELLA is an effective nonsurgical option that can help you eliminate that stubborn fat under or around the chin area. And it may be right for you if …

  • You’re self-conscious or unhappy about the fat under the chin
  • You don’t want to have surgery to eliminate this stubborn fat
  • You feel like this extra fat makes you look overweight or older
  • You exercise regularly and eat healthy, but this extra fullness just will not go away

RADIESSE®

Radiesse is a calcium hydroxylapatite filler that adds volume to facial tissue and restores a smoother appearance to the face. It is commonly used to create volume and fullness in areas where moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds occur.

What Is RADIESSE?
RADIESSE is an FDA approved dermal filler that encourages your body’s natural collagen production process and reduces volume loss. Collagen is produced by your body to provide skin with support and structure, but this production declines over time as you age. RADIESSE is made with a gel containing microspheres of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) suspended within it, and when this gel is injectsed, it triggers collagen production to smooth your facial skin.
