Wrinkle Fillers for Deep Lines, Folds, Thin Lips

Dermal Filler Skin Treatments - Plump it Up and Erase the Signs of Aging

Dermal fillers are a revolutionary treatment for those lines around our nose and mouth and the loss of plumpness in lips which can cause clients to look older. The impact of this wrinkle filling product can be dramatic and immediate. Dermal Fillers are used to replace the naturally produced Hyaluronic acid and collagen that, over time, can disappear and cause skin to appear aged. Indigo currently uses Juvederm™, Radiesse®, Evolence® and PREVELLE® silk dermal fillers. All four are next generation anti-aging skin treatments and are approved by the FDA. These treatments provide a safe, affordable, and non-surgical alternative to plastic surgery.

Juvederm™, Radiesse®, Evolence® and PREVELLE® silk treatments are minimally invasive dermal fillers and help to hydrate and give volume to problem areas. These fillers are used to treat problems such as smile lines (naso-labial folds) and drooping corners of the mouth (marionette lines), enhance cheek bones as well as to help define and plump thin lips.

The wrinkle fillers are injected into the problem area and fill the wrinkle from beneath the skin. The procedure lasts from 15 to 30 minutes, giving you immediate results which last anywhere from six months to one year, or more!

Before and After Pictures

Treatment Process - Wrinkle Fillers for Deep Lines, Folds, Thin Lips

Before Treatment

Before beginning treatment with Radiesse®, Juvederm™, Evolence® or PREVELLE® silk you will need to schedule a consultation with Dr. PreFontaine. At this time you will be asked some questions regarding your medical history including any allergies or medical conditions you may have. Dr. PreFontaine will explain the treatment process and give you instructions about what to expect during and after the procedure.

During Treatment

Before the dermal filler treatment you will be seated in a reclining chair. Dr. PreFontaine will ease the injectable gel under your skin to fill wrinkles and folds. Following the injection, he may gently massage the treated areas. The procedure is quick and easy and takes only about 15 to 30 minutes.

After Treatment

You will be able to return to your daily activities almost immediately after treatment. You should see an immediate improvement in the treatment areas. As with all injections there is a chance that you may experience some side effects from these treatments, such as temporary swelling and bruising.

Common Questions About Dermal Fillers

Are dermal fillers safe?

Yes. Years of clinical testing have shown Radiesse®, Juvederm™, Evolence® and PREVELLE® silk to be safe and effective. The ingredients found in these treatments are made of biocompatible substances which are naturally found in the body, resulting in little to no risk of allergic reaction. Dermal fillers naturally degrade and metabolize into the body over time, with results lasting up to a year or more.

Are there any side effects?

Very few side effects have been reported for Juvederm™, Radiesse®, Evolence® and PREVELLE® silk. Clients may experience common injection-related reactions such as swelling, itching, redness, firmness, bruising, tenderness, mild irritation or edema. These side effects typically cease shortly after treatment. As with other injection treatments, there is a small risk of infection.

Is the treatment painful?

You may experience some mild discomfort during or after treatment. To reduce discomfort, injections are made using a fine needle, and Dr. PreFontaine may numb the area for further client comfort.

How long does treatment usually take?

The injection process takes between 15 and 30 minutes, though a consultation with Dr. PreFontaine is required before treatment can begin.

What is Hyaluronic acid?

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in the body that helps to hydrate and fill out the skin. Along with its use in anti-aging procedures, it has been used during other medical treatments for the joints and eyes for 20 years.

How soon will I see results?

The results of dermal filler treatments are immediate, and can last for up to a year or longer depending on age, skin type, lifestyle, and metabolic rate.

Who administers the treatment?
