Many fillers are available for facial rejuvenation. Dr. Behr is an expert in evaluating each patient to determine what would be most beneficial for them.
How should I prepare for my injection?
No pre-tests are required for any of the fillers Dr. Behr uses. Certain precautions should be taken if possible before your treatment. Avoid aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, Vitamin E and St. John's Wort for one week. Treatment can be done if one of these medications is taken, but they might increase your risk of bruising. Also if you have previously suffered from facial cold sores, let Dr. Behr or her staff know so she can prescribe a medication to minimize recurrence.
JUVEDERM™
JUVEDERM™ is a smooth gel that is made up of hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance found in your body. By carefully injecting Juvederm™ underneath the skin, your skin can be completely rejuvenated, ultimately adding volume and reducing the appearance of facial wrinkles and folds. It offers patients a safe and effective treatment with little to no down-time. Juvederm™ is less invasive than other fillers and provides patients with dramatic improvement almost immediately following treatment. Juverderm ultra and ultra plus are available. Results can last up to one year. Dr. Behr is a certified trainer and lecturer for JUVEDERM.
RESTYLANE® and PERLANE
RESTYLANE® and PERLANEare crystal-clear, non-animal, biodegradable hyaluronic acid gels used for the treatment of wrinkles and lip augmentation. The injected gel gives natural volume under the wrinkle, which is lifted up and smoothed out. Usually, only one treatment is necessary for optimum results. The result is instantaneous and produces a long-lasting, natural enhancement that is gentle to your skin. The effects of Restylane® or Perlane can last up to one year. Treating wrinkles with Restylane® or Perlane is fast and safe – and leaves no scars or other traces on the face.
RADIESSE®
Radiesse® is an injectable filler used to reduce the appearance of facial folds and wrinkles. Radiesse® is different from other fillers because it is made from calcium-based microspheres that help reconstruct the skin by stimulating collagen production, ultimately providing the longest-lasting results. Radiesse is great for volume enhancement. Radiesse® is a safe and effective procedure providing patients with results that can typically last from six months to one year.

SCULPTRA AESTHETIC™
Sculptra Aesthetic™ uses a biodegradable injectable filler to restore and correct deep wrinkles and signs of facial fat loss that develop as we age. FDA-approved, Sculptra Aesthetic™ is like no other filler. It works slowly and efficiently, gradually filling deep wrinkles over time by building collagen and increasing the thickness of your skin. The Sculptra Aesthetic™ process usually requires multiple treatments providing patients with results that can last one to three years.
