Cosmetic Surgery
Injectable Fillers
Injectable fillers are a popular non-surgical treatment option designed to enhance facial contours, smooth wrinkles, and restore lost volume. This procedure can provide immediate, natural-looking results that can rejuvenate your appearance. At Refine, MD Northwest in Bellevue and Kirkland, Washington, we specialize in offering personalized and high-quality injectable filler treatments that are tailored to meet the unique needs and goals of each patient.
WHAT ARE INJECTABLE FILLERS
Injectable fillers, also known as dermal fillers, are substances that are injected into the skin to restore volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial features. These treatments are versatile and can address a variety of cosmetic concerns, such as deep lines, hollow areas, and thinning lips. The most common types of fillers include:
Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
These fillers, such as JUVÉDERM® and Restylane®, are made of a substance naturally found in the skin (hyaluronic acid). They are popular for their ability to provide immediate, smooth and natural-looking results.
Calcium Hydroxylapatite Fillers
Brands like RADIESSE® use this compound to stimulate collagen production over a few months, which can provide long-lasting results.
Poly-L-Lactic Acid Fillers
Sculptra® is an example of this type of injectable, which works gradually by stimulating collagen production for a more subtle and lasting effect.
