Before and After
Before and After
At the Randali Centre, a full array of the newest techniques and technologies in total nonsurgical facial rejuvenation is offered to promote image enhancement. It is here that art and science combine to allow individuals choices to improve their appearance and direct the way the aging process affects the way they look. Our Lancaster County clients have found Dermal Fillers to be an effective treatment for certain aging challenges. The Randali Centre in Lancaster, PA offers multiple choices in the area of Dermal Fillers including Hyaluronic Acid: JUVEDERM™Injectable Gel and Restylane, JUVEDERM™ Injectable Gel, Radiesse, and Sculptra.
As we age, our skin slows in its ability to synthesize collagen. This results in the formation of lines, wrinkles and folds as well as loss of lip volume and definition. Additionally, we experience the atrophy or loss of subcutaneous tissue (fat). The presence of fat under our skin confers the rounded appearance of youth; its absence manifests as the gaunt look of the aged.
Dermal fillers are indicated for correction of wrinkles, fine lines, depressed scars, nasolabial folds (around the nose), marionette lines (under the mouth), and lip augmentation. They are increasingly being used for cheek, chin and hand augmentation as well as for correction of tear trough deformity (the under eye groove). Collagen, one of the first fillers, has been surpassed with other technologically superior longer lasting ones. Treatment consists of injecting a small amount of filler under the numbed skin at the defect site. The possible side effects of bruising, swelling and mild redness are very transient and easily managed. Results are immediately appreciated.
Hyaluronic Acid: JUVEDERM™Injectable Gel and Restylane
Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of skin. It is closely associated with collagen and elastin fibers, all of which give our skin its shape. Both Restylane and JUVEDERM™ Injectable Gel are synthetically derived from bacteria and are non-allergenic eliminating the need for skin testing. Years of use worldwide have shown both to be safe and effective. These fillers are easily injected and yield excellent, natural looking results.
Restylane
The “original” hyaluronic acid filler in the United States, results with Restylane are typically maintained for six to nine months.
JUVEDERM™ Injectable Gel JUVEDERM™ Injectable Gel FDA approved in June 2006, JUVEDERM™ Injectable Gel is the “next generation” hyaluronic acid filler. Heavier cross linking and an increase in hydrophilicity make JUVERDERM™ Injectable Gel more viscous and more resistant to breakdown. This translates into long lasting correction which can remain for up to one year (documented cases have shown correction persistence up to 18 months). This robust filler is capable of fully correcting deeper defects (wrinkles). There is less bruising and swelling following treatment with JUVEDERM™ Injectable Gel than with other hyaluronic acid fillers. The beautiful, smooth, long lasting results have made this a preferred hyaluronic acid filler with physicians and patients alike.

Radiesse
Radiesse (calcium hydroxylapatite) is a synthetic, bone-like material. It has been used as a filler for years worldwide, and it was FDA approved for cosmetic use in the United States in December 2006. More robust than hyaluronic acid, it is an excellent filler for deep folds, scars, wrinkles and most recently, for cheek, chin and hand augmentation. Due to its heavy nature, “a little goes a long way,” and correction can be achieved with smaller amounts of this material. Results are typically maintained for 12–18 months.

Sculptra
Sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid) is technically a filler substance, but it differs from hyaluronic acids and Radiesse. When injected, it induces dermal (skin) thickening. It is therefore known as a stimulatory filler. Normally several treatments are required. While correction is gradual, the results are impressive and are sustained for about two to three years. This product is excellent for correcting facial hollowing seen under the eyes, at the temples, cheeks and chin area.
