Fillers
As we age, our faces naturally lose subcutaneous fat. The facial muscles are then working closer to the skin surface, so smile lines and crow's feet become more apparent.
The facial skin also stretches a bit, adding to this loss of facial volume. Other factors that affect the facial skin include sun exposure, heredity, and lifestyle.
Dermal fillers can be used to:
- Plump thin lips
- Enhance shallow contours
- Soften facial creases and wrinkles
- Improve the appearance of recessed scars
Facial Contouring Fillers in El Paso, TX
Westwind Cosmetic & Laser Center in El Paso, Texas offers several dermal fillers to address the signs of aging. Based on your treatment goals, Dr. Mina Haidarian will help determine which filler is best for you.
When it comes to beauty, who doesn’t want softer facial contours and diminished wrinkles and scars? That’s where soft-tissue fillers such as Juvéderm® come in. Juvéderm comes in three formulations—Juvéderm Ultra Plus XC for facial wrinkles, Juvéderm Ultra XC for fuller lips, and Juvéderm Voluma XC for fuller cheeks.
Made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in your body, Juvéderm Ultra Plus XC is a smooth gel filler that helps to add volume and
At Westwind Cosmetic & Laser Center in El Paso, Texas, Dr. Mina Haidarian injects the gel directly under the skin to instantly restore your skin’s volume and help smooth away facial wrinkles and folds. The most common areas Juvéderm Ultra Plus XC targets include:
- Moderate to severe facial wrinkles
- Folds alongside the nose and corner of the mouth (known as nasolabial folds or smile lines)
- Vertical lip lines or marionette lines
Known for her careful application, Dr. Haidarian thoughtfully fills in facial folds and creases for the most natural and aesthetically pleasing results.
Have you always longed for fuller lips? Juvéderm® Ultra XC plumps thinning lips to restore their volume and shape. This specially formulated hyaluronic acid gel can help you achieve the fuller, more defined lips you desire.
Dr. Haidarian will gently administer Juvéderm® Ultra XC just below the surface of the lips. The gel contains a small amount of local anesthetic that reduces any discomfort you might feel. Within a matter of minutes you are done and can immediately go about your day.
Most patients begin to see natural-looking, fuller lips within 3 months, and results typically last for up to one year. Now that’s worth smiling about!
As you age, your cheeks lose volume and begin to look flat and hollow. Juvéderm Voluma® XC restores fullness and contour to your cheeks, re-creating a more youthful profile. As the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler for the cheek area, Juvéderm Voluma instantly adds volume to gently lift the cheek area.
Dr. Haidarian will inject the filler under the skin of your cheeks. Because the hyaluronic acid solution also contains lidocaine, you will feel very little discomfort. Within minutes you will notice plumper, fuller cheeks. Best of all, the results last for up to two years!
While aging is inevitable, dermal fillers like Radiesse® can rejuvenate your skin and slow the aging process. Over time, skin loses collagen and elastin, which help keep skin supple and youthful. As this occurs, wrinkles and creases begin to develop.
Composed of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in a water-based gel, Radiesse adds volume and stimulates skin to produce new collagen. The increased volume makes your skin look fuller and corrects facial lines and wrinkles such as those around the nose (nasolabial folds) and mouth (marionette lines), as well as chin wrinkles and pre-jowl folds.
After discussing your treatment goals, Dr. Haidarian will gently administer Radiesse below the skin in the areas you want to target. Most patients will immediately notice a visible difference with only one treatment. Over time, Radiesse will help increase the production of collagen for results that may last for up to a year.
Say goodbye to wrinkles with Belotero Balance®. This specially formulated hyaluronic acid filler adds volume to your skin to visibly diminish moderate-to-severe wrinkles and lines around the nose, mouth, and chin.
Dr. Haidarian will inject Belotero Balance into the specific areas of your face you want to target, such as smile lines (the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth), vertical and corner lip lines, and chin wrinkles.
