If you’ve started researching the different kinds of dermal fillers available, you’ve probably found that there are a lot. But, how do you know which is best for you? At VIDA Aesthetic Medicine, only the most effective and safest dermal fillers are offered from the makers you know and trust. This includes Juvederm, Restylane, Radiesse, Revanesse Versa, and Sculptra. All dermal fillers except Sculptra use hyaluronic acid (HA), which naturally occurs in the body.

Sculptra is different because it uses poly-L-lactic acid, which also occurs in the body. At VIDA, only Medical Director Dr. Kim Thompson administers Sculptra. You don’t get immediate results with Sculptra because instead of “filling” the area, it works by encouraging natural collagen production at the injection point. Results reveal themselves in the days and weeks following the treatment. Sculptra lasts the longest of any dermal filler at up to two years, making it a great option for those wanting truly natural results that last.

Exploring HA Dermal Fillers

Are you more interested in immediate results from HA? There’s plenty to choose from at VIDA. Juvederm dermal fillers include Ultra XC, Ultra Plus XC, Volbella XC, Vollure XC, and Voluma XC. Each of these dermal fillers are designed for different parts of the face and body, and can last different amounts of time so you and your provider can create a customized approach.

Juvederm Ultra XC and Volbella XC are great for the lips, while XC is ideal for the cheeks. Restylane Lyft can be used in the face or tops of the hands, Restylane Defyne smooths deep laugh lines (also called marionette lines or nasolabial folds), and Restylane Refyne softens laugh lines in a more subtle way that lets you maintain a more natural appearance. Radiesse offers a complete solution to restore lost volume and structure by immediately providing volume while simultaneously encouraging collagen growth as the product is absorbed by the body and starts to metabolize the CaHA microspheres. Revanesse Versa is unique because this HA filler treats moderate to severe wrinkles with a proprietary process that produces superior particle uniformity.

So, which dermal filler or combination of fillers is right for you? Discuss your goals during a consultation with a VIDA provider to find out. Call our office at (503) 399-0021 to learn more.
