Facial Fillers:

The facial fillers used at Radiance include Juviderm™, Radiesse™, and Restylane®. You will have the opportunity to choose one of the facial fillers after consulting with Dr. Chang or one of the Physician’s Assistants. These cosmetic dermal fillers are used to:

• Restore facial volume and fullness to the skin
• Correct facial wrinkles and folds
• Reducing the depth of the parenthesis lines around the mouth
• Reducing the fine lines of the upper lip
• Restore the volume of the lips and cheeks to make them fuller
• Contour the nasal shape in a procedure called the one-hour rhinoplasty

Juvérderm™, Radiesse™, and Restylane® have been used in over two million treatments in over 60 countries. They are often used in conjunction with Botox to provide a nonsurgical cosmetic make-over for Dr. Chang’s patients. The products last on average about six months to one year depending on the product; and therefore only needs to be schedules two to three times per year.

BOTOX®

Botox has been established as one of the safest and most effective ways in reducing the fine lines in the upper face. It is one of the most popular and effective nonsurgical cosmetic
treatments available at Radiance. Dr. Chang and the Physician’s Assistants at Radiance are
treating close to three to four patients a day. It is most often used for:

• Horizontal “worry” lines of the forehead
• Vertical “angry” lines between the eyebrows
• Fine “crows feet” lines around the eyes

The miracle of Botox is that it provides a nonsurgical option to problems that previously required surgery. When it is injected into the muscle, it relaxes the muscle, preventing it from moving and “wrinkling” the overlying skin. The lines soften and often disappear completely.

Patients who are scheduling the procedure for the holidays or for special events should note that it takes three to five days for it to be become effective; and it sometimes takes one to two weeks to be maximally effective. The effects of Botox lasts an average of three months; although some patients have pointed out that the effects of Botox seem to last longer and longer after multiple treatments. This simple nonsurgical procedure is administered in a series of injections which takes about ten minutes to complete.
