The Juvederm® family of dermal fillers uses hyaluronic acid, a water-attracting molecule that occurs naturally in the skin and is responsible for keeping your skin flexible and hydrated. The Juvederm® collection offers excellent fillers for treating the lips, around the mouth, the mid-face, and cheeks, as well as fine lines and wrinkles. Juvederm® products are made by Allergan, which is also the manufacturer of Botox®.

These dermal fillers also utilize hyaluronic acid to create natural-looking volume. The formulas in the Restylane® collection can improve volume and shape in the mid-face, plump the lips, and improve hollowness in places such as the tear troughs.

Unlike Juvederm® and Restylane®, Radiesse® fillers use calcium hydroxylapatite suspended in gel, a naturally occurring substance commonly found in the bones. The calcium particles vary in size depending on the specific filler used. Radiesse® makes an excellent choice for deep lines and wrinkles such as nasolabial folds.

Sculptra® contains a poly-L-lactic acid, which can stimulate collagen production to produce long-lasting, enhanced volume. This filler works well for deep lines and wrinkles, including marionette lines and nasolabial folds.
