Over time, fine lines and wrinkles typically worsen, developing into deep creases and a loss of volume in the face. To combat the effects of aging and restore a noticeably more youthful appearance to the face, Dr. Larry Pollack offers a variety of FDA-approved fillers at his Del Mar practice.

JUVÉDERM®

Composed of a naturally occurring substance known as hyaluronic acid, JUVÉDERM® is primarily used to improve moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. Results from JUVÉDERM® typically last six to eight months.

JUVÉDERM® effectively treats the following:

  • Nasolabial folds (lines around the nose and mouth)
  • Hollows under the eyes
  • Thin lips

Dr. Pollack offers two versions of JUVÉDERM®: Ultra and Ultra Plus. JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus is thicker than JUVÉDERM® Ultra and designed for deeper injections. During your personal consultation, Dr. Pollack will help determine which injectable will best meet your needs and desires.

BELOTERO BALANCE®

Also made of hyaluronic acid, BELOTERO BALANCE® is ideal for improving very fine lines and wrinkles. The results of this injectable typically last between six and twelve months.

BELOTERO BALANCE® effectively treats the following:

  • Marionette lines
  • Crow’s feet
  • Wrinkles around the lips

Restylane®

Like JUVÉDERM® and BELOTERO BALANCE®, Restylane® is also made of hyaluronic acid and is used to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and restore volume and fullness to areas of the face. Results from Restylane® typically last six to nine months.

Restylane® can effectively treat the following:

  • Nasolabial folds (lines around the nose and mouth)
  • Marionette lines (lines from the corners of the mouth to the jawline)
  • Lines above the upper lip
  • Corners of the mouth
  • Thin lips

RADIESSE®

Made of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in an aqueous gel, RADIESSE® Volumizing Filler not only fills in wrinkles and provides volume and lift to the face, but it also stimulates the body to produce collagen. Results from RADIESSE® typically last about one year.

RADIESSE® effectively treats the following:

  • Nasolabial folds (lines around the nose and mouth)
  • Marionette lines (lines from the corners of the mouth to the jawline)
  • Corners of the mouth
  • Pre-jowl lines
  • Chin wrinkles
  • Acne scars
  • Deep depressions of the face

Are You a Candidate?

Aside from having one or more of the conditions listed above, individuals who are best suited for treatments with injectable fillers should fit the following guidelines:

Be in good overall health: Patients should have no preexisting medical conditions that could cause an allergic reaction to the ingredients in the fillers.

Have realistic expectations: Although fillers can provide excellent results that are long lasting, it is important to remember that the results are temporary and less dramatic than surgical procedures such as a facelift.
