Noninvasive Facial Treatments

Radiesse

Radiesse dermal filler is made of calcium-based microspheres suspended in a water-based gel, and is injected into the skin through a simple and minimally invasive procedure. RADIESSE is the ideal choice for total facial contouring. It can restore a healthy, youthful appearance, enhance your existing features, help you defy age and gravity, and increase your confidence - all without invasive surgery or scarring.

RADIESSE works with your own body in a remarkable way. Upon injection, it immediately adds volume to safely contour, correct, and beautify facial features. Unlike other fillers, RADIESSE continue to work over time. With its patented microsphere technology, it starts a process called collagenesis, stimulating your body to produce new collagen and encouraging collagen to grow around the injection area. RADIESSE actually helps your body create its own naturally younger look, setting a new standard in facial contouring and augmentation.

RADIESSE has been clinically tested extensively for years, with excellent safety and efficacy results. It has received CE mark certification, two FDA approvals, and a number of FDA clearances. RADIESSE is made from a biocompatible substance that is identical to what is naturally found in the body. There is virtually no risk or allergic reaction, and there have been very few side effects reported in clinical and actual use.

Treatment with RADIESSE is so simple and convenient, it can be preformed during a lunch hour. You will see the results right away and these results may last up to a year or more for many of our patients. The long-lasting effects or RADIESSE can reduce the need for retreatment, which saves you time and money compared with other fillers.

Hylaform

Hylaform (hylan-B gel) has been described as one of the best instant solutions for facial lines, wrinkles, and contouring. In April 2004, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Hylaform for use as an injectable wrinkle filler for those who seek to disguise the effects of aging. With this approval, it can now be used for the treatment of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds.

Hylaform was the fourth injectable wrinkle treatment to gain FDA approval, following the prior approvals of Restalyn, Botox (botulinum toxin) and Collagen. Hylaform does compare favorably with these treatments in a number of areas. For example, unlike Collagen injections, no pre-treatment skin allergy tests are required with Hylaform injections.

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance that is found in human skin and throughout the body. Hylaform is a dermal filler that is made from a highly purified form of hyaluronic acid which mimics the effects of natural hyaluronic acid. This highly purified form of hyaluronic acid actually comes from the combs of specially bred roosters.

Normal, healthy skin contains several important components that help to keep it supple and young looking, and one of these is hyaluronic acid. Since hyaluronic acid is a natural sugar that is found in all living cells, it helps to maintain skin volume by attracting and binding over one thousand times it weight in water. As time passes, the aging process and other factors will cause the hyaluronic acid in your skin to diminish, your skin will lose volume, and lines and wrinkles will appear. With Hylaform you can temporarily replace the hyaluronic acid that your skin has lost. When injected just below the surface of the skin, Hylaform adds volume to the skin, helping to smooth unwanted lines and wrinkles.

Juvederm

Juvederm is a smooth consistency gel made up of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration. Your healthcare professional eases Juvederm injectable gel under the skin to instantly restore your skins volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and folds, like your smile lines, or nasolabial folds (the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth.) Juverderm provides a smooth, natural look and feel so everyone will notice but no one will know in fact studies show superior results of juvederm compared to collagen based dermal fillers. Almost 90% of all study volunteers who were treated with both juvederm injectable gel and another dermal filler preferred Juvederm. Juvederm is the first FDA approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler that is proven to be safe and effective for persons or color. With Juvederm the injection process takes only 15 minutes and results are immediate plus there is minimal recovery or downtime. So you can step right into Dr. Bergs office for the treatment and step right back into your life. Juvederm is indicated for injection into the mid to deep dermis for correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds.
