"Filler-Up" with Non-Surgical Wrinkle Erasures
By David J. Goldberg, M.D.
Unwanted hair, acne, wrinkles, sun damage, skin laxity - now there is a way to eradicate all of these beauty busters without bandages, scalpels, or time away from work. If this plethora of new technology has you confused, Dr. David Goldberg is here to give you the lowdown.
Hylaform Injectable Filler
Hylaform is THE “optimal solution for lines, wrinkles, lip enhancement, and facial contouring,” said world renowned Cosmetic Dermatologist Dr. David J. Goldberg. Hylaform itself is made from hyaluronic acid, a natural substance already found in the skin and can last for up to eight months. Hylaform treatments take less than half an hour and may require only the affected area to be slightly anesthetized. When Hylaform is injected into an area on the face, it naturally replaces the hyaluronic acid we all have in our skin which is lost with time. Results are immediate; and redness, bruising and swelling which are often seen with all existing filler options appear to occur less with Hylaform. Also, Hylaform does not require the skin testing associated with collagen injections.
Hylaform Injectable Filler - Uses
Hylaform gel works to "fill" and smooth out deep facial furrows, acne scars, and unwanted wrinkles. It can also be used to enhance the border of the lips for those who desire a fuller look. However, for particularly deep smile lines or wrinkles, a second treatment may be required two to four weeks following the initial treatment. Hylaform is ideal when used in conjunction with other lunchtime procedures such as Botox, Thermage skin tightening, and Photofacials.
The introduction of Hylaform as the most recent method in the continuing battle to reverse the signs of aging comes after a string of popularly used anti-wrinkle injectables such as Artecoll, Botox, Restylane, and Radiance to name a few.
