Dermal Fillers
Simple Radiance offers several dermal filler treatment options which include:
Restylane, Perlane and Juvederm and Juvederm Ultra Plus.
Restylane with or without Lidocaine
Restylane is a safe and natural cosmetic dermal filler that restores volume and fullness to the skin, Restylane corrects moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as the nasolabial folds.
Restylane is the first cosmetic dermal filler made of non-animal based hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that already exits in the human body. The hyaluronic acid in Restylane is a crystal clear gel called NASHA, or Non Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid. NASHA is biodegradable and completely biocompatible with human hyaluronic acid. Unlike other hyaluronic acid based products, such as those made from rooster combs, Restylane is non-animal based. This quality virtually eliminates the risk of animal based disease transmission and allergic reaction.
Restylane requires no pre-testing, but you should take a few precautions before being treated. Avoid using aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, fish oils, St. Johns’ Wort, or high doses of Vitamin E supplements (greater than 100 IU/day) prior to treatment, because these may increase bruising or bleeding at the injection site. Also, if you have previously suffered from facial cold sores, there is a small risk that the needle punctures could contribute to a recurrence.
Why use Restylane? For many people who are not quite ready for a surgical face lift, Restylane may provide an alternative treatment with effective results for a number of years when treatment is repeated approximately every 6 months.

Perlane
Perlane is an injectable cosmetic dermal filler that has been used to soften wrinkles and facial lines of individuals. It is also a popular filler for lip augmentation, facial depressions, and facial scarring.
Perlane is made from non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid gel. Perlane is a non-animal product and does not pose any risk of allergies. Hyaluronic acid is a resilient chemical and can easily adjust and mold to the facial contours. No prior skin testing is required prior to the injection of Perlane. The hyaluronic acid in Perlane augments the body’s natural supply, which has become depleted with age. The injected Perlane fills up scars, lines and wrinkles on the face.
Perlane is not a permanent product and is broken down in the body. New studies show that at the most, the treatment is effective for up to one year after injection of Perlane. This is a much longer period than any of the currently available temporary dermal fillers. (Source: Medicis)

Juvederm & Juvederm Ultra-plus
Juvederm is a smooth filler using HYLACROSS technology which creates a high degree of cross-linking and has a duration for up to 6 months or longer. As with other hyaluronic fillers it instantly smoothes out wrinkles and folds along the side of the nose to the mouth.
Juvederm Ultra Plus is a formulation for volumizing and correcting deeper wrinkles and folds. Look smooth and natural with Juvederm injectable gel. As with any hyaluronic acid filler, most people do not require anything more than a topical cream and ice before their injection and may return to normal activities immediately.
Juvederm Ultra-plus has been shown in studies to last for up to one year.
