Injectables

Filler maintenance treatments are performed when the cosmetic effects have worn off or are less noticeable. On average, Juvederm™ treatments are repeated at eight to 12-month intervals, or sooner for touch up of the lip areas. When addressing forehead lines, when combined with Botox Cosmetic™, the effects can maintain their effects for up to a year.

When using Radiesse™, studies have shown that this material can last up to two years in the nasolabial folds.

Finally, Sculptra™ is usually administered in three to five patient sessions over a 20-week period. Results usually last for two years or more. This is very satisfying for our valued patients who want to get the most out of their investments.

We ask you to discontinue blood thinners, such as Vitamin E, St Johns Wort, and Aspirin, beginning one week before cosmetic injectable treatment. Prior to the procedure in Newnan, we will prescribe a topical anesthetic cream. This is left in place for 30 to 60 minutes. If we are treating the lip area, our providers will perform a virtually painless dental block.

After numbing has been achieved, the filler is placed into a predetermined area of your skin. Ice packs and pressure are used to minimize bruising. You can also start on Arnica before your filler treatment to minimize bruising. Treatment time takes between 10 and 45 minutes.

The “Volume Lift” refers to a large volume filler augmentation procedure. It can be accomplished with Lipotransfer, calcium hydroxylapatite (Radiesse™), or poly-L-lactic acid (Sculptra™).

Lipotransfer refers to the grafting of donor fat cells from your own body. This is carried out via liposuction. Self-harvested fat cells are referred to as autologous fat and are one of the most advantageous filler substances known to physicians.

Facial wrinkles, acne scars, eyelid creases, post-traumatic scars, aging hands, and dimpling of the breast have benefited from the use of the “Volume Lift.”

The survival of transplanted fat is sometimes difficult to quantify and is variable depending on the patient’s medical status, age, and the location of the actual injection. Some studies have demonstrated that fat graft survival may last up to 12 months. Repeat treatments tend to create a longer-lasting cosmetic benefit.

Typically, no healing or recovery time is needed after an injectable dermal filler treatment session. Filler treatments may induce some degree of swelling or bruising with each procedure. Ice packs and/or pressure can minimize this unwanted complication.

After your procedure in Newnan, for best results, it is important that you massage the treatment areas using the “3-3-5” rule, e.g., massage the treatment area three times a day for three minutes for five days. Bruising, when it occurs, usually resolves within a matter of days.

We can combine filler treatments with neurotoxins and CO2 laser resurfacing to enhance your overall cosmetic benefit.

When considering the price of injectable treatments, it is important to remember that the cost will vary depending on where you go. Additionally, the amount that cosmetic injectables cost in Newnan will be impacted by the amount of product used, the number of treatment sessions, and the type of product used.
