Juvederm

Juvederm is an FDA-approved injectable gel containing hyaluronic acid, therefore, it is a smooth filler that helps restore the hyaluronic acid that your skin has lost due to aging. Juvederm is commonly used at AboutSkin Dermatology to treat nasolabial folds (smile lines) as well as marionette lines, and enhance lips.

Juvederm can last up to a year, but longevity can vary from person to person. Results are immediate and minimal downtime is to be expected. As with all fillers, some temporary swelling and redness may occur in the days following injection.

Radiesse

Radiesse is a FDA-approved dermal filler made up of calcium-based microspheres contained in a natural gel. The calcium-based microspheres support and stimulate the growth of your own collagen. Over time, the calcium-based microspheres are naturally absorbed by your body, providing a safe and effective treatment.

At AboutSkin Dermatology, Radiesse is commonly used in the cheeks and nasolabial folds (smile lines).

Restylane

Restylane is an FDA-approved dermal filler substance used to treat bothersome wrinkles such as the nasolabial folds and smile lines as well as for lip enhancement/augmentation. The active ingredient of Restylane is hyaluronic acid, a molecule naturally occurring in our skin.


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. This quality virtually eliminates any risk of animal-based disease transmission or allergic reaction.

CosmoDerm

CosmoDerm is made from natural human collagen grown under controlled laboratory conditions. This human collagen is similar to the collagen normally found in the skin. There is no need for a pre-treatment skin test, which means CosmoDerm offers physicians and patients the convenience of Collagen Replacement Therapy in just one office visit.

At AboutSkin Dermatology, CosmoDerm is commonly injected into the glabella (area between your eyebrows), lip lines and acne scars.

Sculptura

At AboutSkin Dermatology located in Metropolitain Denver (Englewood), Colorado, with a South office in Lone Tree, Colorado, safety and clinical studies are the essential roots to our practice. It is important to know that when the FDA approves a specific device for a specific indication, it is usually best to limit use to that area until more data is available. Sculptra has been used for treatment of Lipoatrophy ("loss of fat" which can result in sunken cheeks, indentations, and hollow eyes), a condition associated with HIV treatment. Yet, Sculptra is also FDA approved for cosmetic use in non-HIV patients for aesthetic purposes.

Sculptra is a synthetic injectable material known as "poly-L-lactic acid." Poly-L-lactic acid is biocompatible (a material that does not harm the body) and biodegradable (able to be broken down by the body).

During your consultation, Dr. Joel Cohen will determine approximately the appropriate number of treatment sessions and the amount of Sculptra you will need at each session. Patients with severe facial fat loss may require 3 to 6 treatment sessions. In a clinical study of Sculptra, the treatment results lasted for up to 2 years after the first treatment session, but as always, treatment results vary from person to person. Touch-up treatments may be needed to maintain the desired effect.
