Prevelle Silk®
Prevelle Silk is an advanced hyaluronic acid (HA) gel dermal filler that is injected just under the skin's surface with minimal irritation. The gel adds volume and smoothes out facial wrinkles and folds for a more youthful appearance.
Prevelle Silk consists if purified hyaluronic acid, which is a natural complex sugar already found in your skin, and lidocaine. Lidocaine is a local anesthetic added to provide pain relief at the site of the injection. The result is a safe painless procedure that generates smooth skin with little to no downtime.
The Benefits of Prevelle
Prevelle Silk is used to treat facial wrinkles, folds, and scars, and is particularly effective in treating fine lines in delicate areas. The advantages of Prevelle Silk include:
- Non-surgical treatment
- Convenient 30 minute procedure
- Immediate, natural feeling results
- Ideal for delicate skin areas
- Little to no downtime
- Minimal redness, swelling, and irritation
As with all hyaluronic acid based dermal fillers, the smoothing results of Prevelle Silk are temporary. The frequency of follow-up treatment is different for each person, depending on factors such as skin structure and area treated.

Radiesse®
Radiesse is a synthetic injectable filler that has been FDA-approved to reduce moderate to severe wrinkles, folds and creases around the nose and mouth by augmenting the skin's natural collagen supply. It is a safe, effective and long-lasting alternative to injectable collagen and other dermal fillers for not only smoothing wrinkles but also adding volume and contour to the face for an overall younger, fuller, smoother appearance. With just one or two Radiesse treatments, you can enjoy a beautiful, natural look that lasts.
What is Radiesse made of?
Radiesse is composed of microspheres in a water-based gel. The microspheres—made of a substance called calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA)—stimulate the production of collagen to smooth lines and wrinkles and also add younger-looking suppleness to the face. Radiesse is made from minerals similar to what makes up our bones. There is no need for pre-treatment allergy testing, and it is absorbed naturally by the body over time.
What areas does Radiesse treat?
Radiesse can be used on many areas of the face and body. Numerous studies have shown Radiesse to be especially effective for filling and correcting smile lines, nasolabial folds (lines from the nose to the corners of the mouth), marionette lines (from the corners of the mouth to the chin), and other lines and wrinkles around the nose and mouth. It can also be used to treat depressed scars and oral commissures.
Radiesse has also been approved by the FDA to restore and correct the signs of lipoatrophy (loss of fat beneath the skin) in patients with HIV.
What can I expect during treatment?
At your Radiesse treatment, your doctor will clean the treatment area and administer a series of quick injections with a fine needle. Treatments typically take 15 minutes and require only local anesthetic. There is little to no downtime; many patients return to their normal activities after their appointment.
Patients typically need only one or two treatments to achieve the full effect of Radiesse. Your doctor may recommend a follow-up appointment to determine whether you would benefit from additional treatments.
Are there any side effects?
Side effects such as mild irritation, itching, swelling, discoloration or tenderness at the injection site are minimal and should fade within a few days.
When will I see the results of my Radiesse treatment? How long do results last?
Results are visible immediately after the injection and can last for up to a year or more. Touch-up treatments can prolong Radiesse's effects. Studies have shown that patients require fewer re-treatments with Radiesse than with other leading dermal fillers.
