Voluma XC

As you age, it’s not just about lines and wrinkles. Your cheeks can lose volume and skin may begin to sag.

The Voluma Lift is one of Dr. Mari Contreras phD-PAC signature procedures. The Voluma Lift achieves a non-surgical face-lift effect using multiple soft tissue & dermal fillers to counter act the effect of aging, weight loss or exercise.

Juvederm Voluma XC is the only FDA-approved injectable gel to instantly add volume to your cheek area to correct age-related volume loss. It contours and provides a subtle lift for up to two years. It contains lidocaine to help improve comfort during treatment.

Achieve a more youthful, healthier, vibrant, and rested appearance now.

How It Works

Juvederm Voluma XC is injected under the skin with a small needle. It works instantly to add volume and subtly lift the cheek area, temporarily reversing the sign of aging. This procedure lasts up to 2 years and can be performed during a brief office visit.

Recovery

  • No ibuprofen or aspirin 48 hours before or after treatment
  • Note: no alcohol for 24 hours after treatment
  • No increased blood pressure (i.e. sauna, hot tub, exercise, cardio) for 24 hours post treatment (Helps prevent bruising)
  • It is recommended that make up not be applied until 1 hour after treatment to allow the skin to breathe
  • Avoid excessive facial expressions and strenuous exercise for 4 hours after your treatment. (This helps the product to “settle” without disturbing the location where it was injected.)
  • Do not rub or massage the area for 24 hours unless instructed to do so
  • There is a risk of bruising which is only temporary and can be covered up with make-up
  • Apply an ice pack or cold compress to the treated area to help reduce redness and swelling (can last from one hour to 48 hours)

Juvederm®

Juvederm® is the only hyaluronic acid filler FDA approved to last up to one year with initial treatment. It is a safe and naturally based dermal filler that smooth’s facial wrinkles and folds, like your “smile lines” or “parentheses” (nasolabial folds). These are the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth.

Young, healthy-looking skin contains an abundance of a naturally hydrating substance called hyaluronic acid (HA). But as you age, sunlight and other factors can reduce the amount in your skin. The lack of hyaluronic acid causes your skin to lose structure and volume, creating unwanted facial wrinkles and folds. Juvederm® also works on Marionette Lines and vertical lip lines.

The overall effect will give you a more youthful healthy look. The nasolabial lines will be virtually gone creating a beautiful youthful result. Juvederm® will also help enhance your lips reducing small lines and restore fuller healthier lips.

How it works

Juvederm® can be performed in a brief office visit. This non-invasive injection takes 15 to 30 minutes with no down time. Before your treatment try to avoid the following:

  • Aspirin, Ibuprofen & over the counter vitamins a week prior to your appointment
  • Avoid alcohol 24 hours prior to appointment

Recovery

  • No ibuprofen or aspirin 48 hours before or after treatment
  • Note: no alcohol for 24 hours after treatment
  • No increased blood pressure (i.e. sauna, hot tub, exercise, cardio) for 24 hours post treatment (Helps prevent bruising)
  • It is recommended that make up not be applied until 1 hour after treatment to allow the skin to breathe
  • Avoid excessive facial expressions and strenuous exercise for 4 hours after your treatment. (This helps the product to “settle” without disturbing the location where it was injected.)
  • Do not rub or massage the area for 24 hours unless instructed to do so
  • There is a risk of bruising which is only temporary and can be covered up with make-up
  • Apply an ice pack or cold compress to the treated area to help reduce redness and swelling (can last from one hour to 48 hours)

Results

  • You will immediately look younger and more refreshed

Restylane®

Fight Signs of Facial Aging
Reveal a younger-looking you

Restylane® can be used to add volume and fullness to the skin to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth (nasolabial folds). Restylane may also be used for lip enhancement in patients over 21 years.

What Is Restylane?

Restylane is a clear gel formulation of hyaluronic acid that is specifically formulated to act like your body’s own naturally produced hyaluronic acid, helping to visibly correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, including the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth (nasolabial folds or laugh lines), the corners of the mouth and marionette lines — the area that extends downward from the corners of the mouth to the jawline.

Additionally, Restylane and Restylane® Silk are FDA-approved for lip enhancement in patients over the age of 21, and are uniquely formulated to give your lips fullness and definition.

See real results

In a clinical study of subjects treated with Restylane, investigators still saw improvement in 95% of subjects 18 months after initial injection.
*Subjects were re-treated at nine months.

Use at the site of skin sores, pimples, rashes, hives, cysts, or infection should be postponed until healing is complete. In these instances, product use could delay healing or make your skin problems worse.
