Hyaluronic acid, often shortened to HA, is a substance naturally produced by the body that helps retain moisture, keeping skin hydrated and refreshed by promoting collagen production. Over time, your body’s HA can become depleted, resulting in various signs of aging, like facial wrinkles and loss of volume.
A common way to address these unwanted signs of aging is with dermal fillers. HA can be found in some of the most sought-after filler brands, helping to restore the skin’s naturally plump structure and even encourage collagen growth in some cases. At Premier Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics, we offer a variety of injectables, including two popular dermal fillers that contain hyaluronic acid – JUVÉDERM® and Restylane®.
- JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA® XC: Sometimes referred to as a “liquid cheek lift,” VOLUMA® XC can improve a hollowed-looking midface and sagging skin.
- JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC: This JUVÉDERM product is designed to treat the area around the mouth by plumping the skin and restoring lost volume.
- JUVÉDERM® VOLLURE: Frequently used to address deep nasolabial folds, VOLLURE can create more definition in facial features such as the cheeks, lips, and jawline.
- JUVÉDERM® XC and JUVÉDERM® ULTRA XC: Both XC and ULTRA XC products can treat moderate to severe facial wrinkles. JUVÉDERM® XC can reduce the appearance of “smile lines” or “parentheses lines,” while JUVÉDERM® ULTRA XC is typically used to restore lost volume or add volume in the lips.
- Restylane®: This injectable treatment is designed to add youthful fullness to the skin, smooth facial wrinkles and folds, and rejuvenate the appearance of the lower eyelids.
