Facial Fillers

Facial fillers are an affordable option for those seeking quick results and a desirable, full, natural, youthful appearance.

As we age, collagen and elastin fibers that help shape and sculpt our appearance begin to break down, creating sagging skin, lines, creases, and wrinkles.

The new generation of facial fillers can replace our natural collagen with carefully placed injections in areas where collagen has been lost.

These face fillers help reduce creases, wrinkles and plump up areas of the face and skin to create a more youthful and more desirable appearance.

Historically, collagen injections were comprised of bovine (cow) derived products that potentially contributed to allergic reactions in some patients.

Today, the facial fillers have been replaced with new, FDA approved, synthetic injectable products.

The Cosmetic Enhancement Center of New England uses only safe, effective and clinically proven products for cosmetic facial injections.

Different types of facial fillers can be used either alone or in customized combinations to provide you with a fabulous natural look.

Some of the products the CEC of NE prefers include CosmoDerm, Juvederm Ultra Plus, Radiesse, Restylane, Sculptra Aesthetic, Perlane and Evolence.

Facial Fillers

CosmoDerm: This collagen dermal filler is made from human collagen. It is injected superficially below the skin’s surface where it smoothes wrinkles, fills in fine lines and scars. CosmoDerm typically lasts up to 3 months before another facial filler is needed.

Restylane and Perlane: These products are clear gels that contain hyaluronic acid, which naturally occurs in humans and virtually eliminates the chance of an allergic reaction. They are biodegradable, which means that your body will eventually absorb it requiring a repeat injection. These products typically last up to ­­­­9 months before another face filler treatment is needed.

Sculptra Aesthetic: The product is made from poly-l-lactic acid which has been clinically proven to be safe, effective, and long-lasting. Sculptra Aesthetic is used for restoring volume and improving contours and once injected, it stimulates new collagen to grow, adding volume over time and typically lasts 2-4 years before re-treatment is needed. (Poly-l-lactic acid is the same substance used by surgeons as dissolvable suture material).

Juvederm Ultra Plus: Juvederm is a smooth, cross-linked hyaluronic acid-based clear gel. When injected into the skin, it lifts and adds volume to the areas being treated, creating a soft and smooth look. The skin remains soft and natural to the touch and results are visible immediately. Each facial filler treatment lasts up to ­­­­12 months before re-treatment is needed. Juvedrem is Dr. Atkins’ preferred choice for filling lips.

Evolence: This facial filler is a highly purified collagen derived from porcine tendons. Porcine collagen material is used to make heart valve replacements, implantable lenses, wound dressing in burn therapy and surgical mesh patches for tissue repair. Treatment results are immediate and produce a natural enhancement that is less likely to bruise and doesn’t cause much swelling. An Evolence treatment typically lasts up to 12 months before another treatment is needed.
