Revanesse Versa is the newest dermal filler approved by the FDA, and it is now available at Ultimate Image. There are a lot of dermal fillers on the market, but none compare to Revanesse Versa. This dermal filler has some unique properties that make it highly effective for moderate to severe lines and wrinkles. Learn what you need to know about this powerful dermal filler.

Why It’s Unique

Like many dermal fillers, Revanesse Versa uses hyaluronic acid particles in a suspension to add volume to the face. Unlike other dermal fillers, Versa uses wet milling technology and uniquely spherical and uniform hyaluronic acid particles. The combination of these in the proprietary formula creates results that are more uniform and natural than other dermal fillers. Read More →

It can be very frustrating to look in the mirror and see the signs of aging. Wrinkles, crow’s feet, fine lines between the brows, loss of volume in the cheeks, and a drooping of the mouth can all affect your overall appearance. You may reach a point where you don’t recognize yourself. Although you don’t like the effects of aging, you may be wary of plastic surgery. Fillers are a great way to address these issues in a noninvasive and almost immediate way.

What Fillers Can Do

Dermal fillers can do a number of things for your face. There are quite a few different fillers available, each with its own unique goals and functions. Most dermal fillers work by replacing volume loss or smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles. You can use dermal fillers to address signs of aging in the brow line and along the eyes, laugh lines, cheek volume loss, volume loss in the lips, and wrinkles around the mouth. Read More →

If you are struggling with wrinkles between the brows or crow’s feet, you may be considering an injectable to eliminate those fine lines. Once upon a time, Botox was one of the only solutions for these wrinkles. Today there are three primary options for these lines: Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin. All three will give you similar results, but they are different in some ways.

Active Ingredient

All three of these injectables have the same active ingredient. These injections use a neurotoxin called botulinum toxin type A, which relaxes the muscles in the face. This relaxation of the muscles allows for folds in the skin (wrinkles) to be smoothed out.

Botox and Dysport have additional active ingredients such as proteins that will help eliminate fine lines and wrinkles for a longer period of time. These additional ingredients help to slough old skin and smooth out the skin as new cells grow. This allows your results from Botox and Dysport to last longer. Read More →

There are many dermal fillers available on the market today. Knowing which one to choose can be very difficult. The fact of the matter is, there are different fillers for different types of lines and wrinkles. Which dermal filler is best for your wrinkles depends on your personal problem areas and the corrections you would like to make to your appearance.

Best Filler for Overall Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Belotero is the best dermal filler for the fine lines and wrinkles that come from laughing, frowning, and puckering the lips. Wrinkles around the nose, jaw line, lips, and chin greatly benefit from this dermal filler. It makes use of hyaluronic acid, which is much lighter than other fillers. The acid expands the depressions in the skin that form lines and wrinkles. It also hydrates your skin, giving you a more supple and youthful look.

Best Filler for Wrinkles Around the Mouth

If you have a lot of wrinkles around your mouth from puckering, Restylane Silk is a great option. This dermal filler can be injected into your lips to make them fuller, and it can be contoured to give your lips a natural shape. The filler will also help eliminate the fine lines that can occur around the mouth and lips. Restylane Silk is the only FDA approved dermal filler specifically formulated for this purpose.

Best Filler for Smile Lines

Marionette wrinkles and smile lines are often the most common type of wrinkles that women want to eliminate. When you want to get rid of these wrinkles, Juvederm XC is a great choice. This dermal filler was specifically designed to eliminate these types of lines around the nose and mouth. Juvederm XC contains the highest concentration of hyaluronic acid available on the market, which makes it perfect for those deeper, stubborn laugh lines.

Lip augmentation, the process of injecting the lips to boost their shape and volume, has surged as one of the most popular cosmetic treatments for women – but we can’t forget about men!

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, more men than ever before are seeking out procedures to achieve plumper, more attractive lips. In a selfie culture that emphasizes aesthetic appearance, it’s no wonder that men want to look their best as well.

What Is Lip Augmentation For Men?

Men can receive lip augmentation, also known as lip fillers, the same way that women do. The most popular lip treatments are hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers

Skin cells actually produce hyaluronic acid naturally, and it’s this hyaluronic acid that keeps your skin hydrated. However, just like the aging process slows collagen production to a crawl, it also affects hyaluronic acid production. Lip fillers are formulated with hyaluronic acid because just one single gram of HA can hold up to 33 ounces of water! As soon as hyaluronic acid is injected into the lips, it creates soft, sexy, pillowy volume. Read More →

As the years fly by, are you starting to notice that your face doesn’t look quite as full and healthy as it did when you were 20 or 30? Or perhaps your lips look thinner and flatter? It’s not just your imagination! The volume in your face and lips does decrease over time due to loss of collagen, cellular damage, and other effects.

If you want to fight this unwanted volume loss and restore that healthy 20-something plumpness to your face, look no further than a Restylane Lyft or Silk. These safe and popular dermal fillers deliver natural-looking results that last up to 18 months!

How Does Restylane Work?
Hyaluronic acid exists naturally in the body to maintain the skin’s healthy volume and keep it hydrated, but unfortunately the body’s stores of hyaluronic acid decrease with age. Restylane is specially formulated with hyaluronic acid to replace what the skin has lost in order to lift and smooth the skin. Restylane Lyft and Restylane Silk both utilize hyaluronic acid to restore lost volume where you need it most. Read More →

Botox has been used to fight wrinkles for years, and it still reigns as one of the top non-surgical cosmetic procedures. This simple treatment manages to minimize unwanted wrinkles and create skin that looks years younger. Let’s take a look at the four top reasons that men and women alike can’t get enough of Botox.

No Anesthesia Needed

Botox is not a high maintenance treatment by any means. The needles used are small and thin, and are only injected into the areas of your face where you want to relax muscles. For most people this means around the eyes, lips, and forehead. The injections are minor enough that you can handle it without anesthesia.

No Inconvenient Downtime

Since Botox is non-surgical and minimally-invasive, there’s no real downtime to contend with. There’s no need for your mother-in-law to stay over for two days to cook your dinners and wash your clothes, and you don’t need to take any time off work. Any slight bruising that occurs around the injection site doesn’t last long, and you can apply makeup right away! Read More →

Do you want to have gorgeous pillowy lips like the celebrities?  Have no fear.  Here is what you need to know…

Do You Want Fuller Lips?

You can work with your injection expert to determine the best product for your lips. Juvederm Volbella and Restylane Silk are both hyaluronic acid fillers that create soft and subtle volume where you need it most, but one might work best based on your specific needs and features. Read More →
