DERMAL FILLERS: Restylane®, Perlane® and Juvéderm
Smooth skin by filling lines and wrinkles without surgery.
Colorado Medical Spa uses safe and natural cosmetic dermal fillers that restore the skin’s volume and fullness, correcting facial wrinkles and folds; Restylane®, Perlane® and Juvéderm. Dermal Fillers are used to reverse the effects of aging by reducing and eliminating wrinkles while replacing soft-tissue loss.
- Nasolabial folds (also called the marionette lines or parenthesis) can be eliminated
- Small and disproportionate lips can be enhanced and reshaped
- Volume and fullness of lips can be restored
- Lines and wrinkles around the mouth area (usually caused by smoking) can be eliminated
INJECTABLE GEL DERMAL FILLERS:
With time, exposure to the sun and other elements, skin components breakdown. The skin loses structure and volume, while unwelcome lines and wrinkles appear. Using Dermal Fillers can now correct wrinkles and facial folds, reversing the signs of aging.
The appearance of wrinkles and facial folds can be smoothed by adding structure and volume underneath and bringing sunken skin back to the surface. A Dermal Filler is a smooth injectable gel, eased under your skin to instantly smooth out wrinkles and folds that look like parentheses along the side of your nose and mouth. Results are instant, immediately the areas are so smooth and natural, everyone will notice but no one will know. Although the procedure is not permanent, there is a lasting effect because the collagen has been stimulated to start producing again.
Hyaluronic acid is a natural complex sugar found in all living cells and one of the major components of the dermis connective tissue matrix, along with collagen and elastin. Hyaluronic acid retains water like a sponge, absorbing more than 1000 times its weight. This helps to attach and maintain water, hydrating your skin and increasing its volume and density.

One of the risks with these products is unintentional injection into a blood vessel. The chances of this happening are very small, but if it does happen, the complications can be serious and may be permanent. These complications, which have been reported for facial injections, can include vision abnormalities, blindness, stroke, temporary scabs, or permanent scarring of the skin.
As with all skin injection procedures, there is a risk of infection
