From wrinkling saggy skin to creases and deep lines in the face, no one can avoid the signs of aging. We would all love to look young and beautiful for as long as possible. Today, there are many options available to help achieve and maintain a more youthful appearance without the need for cosmetic surgery. Ohio Plastic Surgery Specialists offer a wide range of injectable fillers to recontour the face for a refreshed, rejuvenated appearance.
Facial Fillers are collagen materials injected into the skin to achieve aesthetic results. They are comprised of a soft injectable gel based on hyaluronic acid, which exists naturally in all living things. Hyaluronic acid helps transport nutrients to the skin and acts as a lubricant and shock absorber in joints. It also plays an important role in maintaining the water balance in the body. Dermal fillers act like natural hyaluronic acid present in the body. These injectable facial fillers can be classified into various types depending upon the primary component used, including:
Choosing the right filler for each patient and situation is of paramount importance for achieving the best results. Dr. Bernacki and his team will work with you to decide which type of facial filler is suitable for you. We consider various factors like age, skin texture, condition, etc. before recommending a personalized course of action.
RHA® (Resilient Hyaluronic Acid) is the only FDA authorized hyaluronic acid filler for helping reduce wrinkles and folds drastically. The filler is a clear injectable gel that corrects facial wrinkles. The RHA Collection is formulated to keep your facial movement and create a naturally youthful look. This filler was created to closely resemble the natural hydraulic acid found in your skin.
Folds and wrinkles appear in locations of the face that move repetitively. Micro movements such as scrunching of the nose and eyes, frowning, laughing, and talking cause wrinkles and folds. These imperfections can be difficult to treat because other facial fillers may cause results that look unnatural and stiff. The RHA Collection is the latest filler to adapt to your facial movement, designed for your face to be flawless in motion.
Please schedule a consultation with Dr. Bernacki at Ohio Plastic Surgery Specialists to determine if RHA® fillers are suitable for you.
