Cheeks Filler
Radiesse and Juvaderm are Mr./Dr. Ferrando’s favourite product for the treatment of volume loss in the cheeks, sagging skin and jowls. Radiesse, would be his preferred choice, as it not only restore fullness but it also stimulates the production of collagen, for a more youthful and glowing look.
Mr./Dr. Ferrando will discuss the best option for each individual case, during his consultation, however, Radiesse is definitely his recommended product to treat volume loss as it offer longer lasting results (12/24 months) compared to regular fillers, which last 3/6 months.
Understanding how we age
There is a fundamental difference in the way different ethnicities age.
People from African, African American/Caribbean backgrounds, will see the changes happening in the deeper layer of the skin structure, having much thicker skin, with increased pigmentation, as well as a much more boney structure.
Most patients with dark and thick skin, will experience the ageing process with changes occurring in the deeper layers of the skin structure, which typically does not effect the skin surface.
In Caucasian patients, many changes are seen externally, as well as in the deeper skin structure.
That’s why choosing the right filler for each individual is essential. The correct choice of filler will guarantee the best result possible.
What is Juvederm?
Juvéderm® from Allergan is a range of smooth consistency gels which are injected to restore volume, fine lines, wrinkles and folds and redefine lips (Lip Enhancement) The smooth consistency is due to it’s advanced formulation.
As we age the hyaluronic acid (HA) content of our skin-which is important for water retention-decreases. Oil-producing glands become less active and skin becomes drier.
The skin also loses fat, so it looks less plump and smooth. The skin loses its youthful colour and glow. Unlike other fillers, Juvéderm® is not granular which means that it is able to flow easily into the skin. This results in a smooth and natural appearance.
It comes in a range of different strengths depending on the individual case.
