As we age, facial lines and wrinkles are the result of the gradual breakdown of the body’s collagen and the elastinfibers in our skin. Environmental factors, stress, sun exposure and smoking can accelerate the aging process and wrinkles.

Hyaluronic acid is a sugar molecule already present in many areas of our body. Because it is already familiar to the body, it is it safe and compatible for. Hyaluronic acids will attract water from within your own body to plump the filled area even more, especially if you can stay well hydrated.

At Renewal MD, we are very sensitive to your comfort! Wrinkle fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane are injected with extremely tiny needles.. Both of these fillers contain lidocaine to help numb the area as you are being injected. So, after the first initial prick you should only feel minimal discomfort.

The wrinkles will continue to soften over a couple of weeks/months. Juvederm and Restylane can last anywhere from 6 months to 1 year and in rare patients, over a year. Studies are now showing that if you get a repeat injection of wrinkle fillers approximately 3 months after your initial injection, the longevity of the product can increase to 18 months!

The most common side effect of Restylane and Juvedermis temporary bruising and swelling, which can last a couple of days or more. The nice thing about hyaluronic acids is that if the results are not what you expected, the product can easily and instantly be dissolved with a medication called hyaluronidaise.
