Dubbed the “water molecule,” Hyaluronic acid (HA) is responsible for maintaining moisture and keeping the skin plump, hydrated, and supple. As we get older, the naturally occurring presence of HA depletes. This is a contributing factor to the loss of hydration and volume associated with aging skin.
As the name suggests, Hyaluronic Acid fillers are natural derivatives of HA. Their formulas consist of a smooth gel-like substance. In a cosmetic setting, HA fillers provide volume beneath the skin. They fill in fine lines and folds to smooth out wrinkles. They plump sunken areas to augment the cheeks and improve the appearance of under-eye bags. They restore symmetry, especially along the jawline. They fill in scars such as pitted acne scars. Finally, they augment lips to volumize and contour.

One of the best advantages of soft tissue fillers is the flexibility they provide physicians to customize a treatment plan to the patient’s specific needs. However, Juvederm and Restylane cost varies due to the individual parameters of each patient’s treatment plans. At Sculptology, we customize each patient’s treatment plan to meet their needs and match their budget. Factors that affect pricing include treatment area, the number of units needed, and available discounts, such as package pricing. During your complimentary consultation with Sculptology, Restylane and Juvederm prices (and available financing options) will be covered in detail.
Dermal fillers last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years.* The duration of your results depends on the specific filler in question. Some fillers offer progressive results that far outlast the presence of the filler. They do this by stimulating the body to create more collagen and elastin.
