Restylane®
 

Restylane is used to add volume and smoothness to your skin, restoring the skin's volume, creating softness and revitalizing  your appearance. Youthful skin is rich in hyaluronic acid; as we age the amount of hyaluronic acid disperses leaving our skin looking worn out and fatigued. Restylane gels work by adding to your skin’s own stocks of hyaluronic acid, directly adding volume to either soften the signs of aging or enhance your features. Hyaluronic fillers may last from several months to over a year but are not permanent. There is little or no down time with procedures and it requires no testing before hand.

Radiesse^®

Radiesse® dermal filler is made up of calcium-based microspheres suspended in a water-based gel, and is injected into the skin through a simple and minimally invasive procedure. It can restore a healthy, youthful appearance, enhance your existing features, help you defy age and gravity, and increase your confidence.  Radiesse® works with your own body in a remarkable way. When injected, it immediately adds volume to contour, and beautify facial features. It starts a process called collagenesis, stimulating your body to produce new collagen, encouraging collagen to grow in the areas it is needed. Radiesse® actually helps your body create its own naturally looking younger skin.  Radiesse® lasts up to a year, with little or no down time.










 

Sculptra™

Sculptra® is an enduring treatment approved by the FDA for restoration and/or correction of the signs of facial fat loss in people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) .Facial fat loss results in sunken cheeks, indentations, and hollow eyes. Sculptra® is a safe, synthetic, and biocompatible material that is injected below the surface of the skin in the area of fat loss. It provides a gradual and significant increase in skin thickness, improving the appearance of folds and sunken areas. No skin testing is required with minimal or no down time.







 

Cosmoplast™

Mimicking the natural effects of collagen, a natural protein produced in the body, Cosmoplast® contains a highly-purified human collagen to fill in fine lines and wrinkles near the eyes and on the forehead, as well as restoration of the lip border. Replenishing collagen lost due to aging, sun exposure, and the environment to restore the natural structure of the skin for a beautiful appearance.





 

Artefill®

Facial wrinkles are a result of the natural aging process. Over time, the skin loses its ability to repair itself as the underlying elastin and collagen fibers break down and lose elasticity. Heredity, UV exposure, and repetitive facial movement can all contribute to the development of facial wrinkles and folds.  Dr. Mofid injects Artefill underneath the wrinkle, just above the skin’s fat layer providing the soft, supportive foundation that your skin needs for long-lasting wrinkle correction. Artefill® does require a patch test to be performed 28 days prior to the procedure to ensure there is no allergic reaction. Artefill® is permanent, but may require multiple injections.
