Big News!

Wow! Now all of our syringes of Juvederm are super-sized. They contain 25% more product! Guess what's even better? We have kept your cost the same. :)

Filler Fundamentals-

Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are the fastest growing non-invasive facial procedures in Knoxville. Juvederm, Restylane, and Prevelle are all injectable wrinkle fillers made from hyaluronic acid. Fillers differ in formulation and one size definitely does not fit all. Some are more plumping and some last longer than others. There is also a significant difference in cost.

About Hyaluronic Acid Based Fillers-

Hyaluronic acid is a natural complex sugar found in all living animals that retains water and adds volume to the skin’s surface. It binds with collagen to provide structure, elasticity and volume to the skin and contribute to its overall appearance. As the skin ages, the cells lose the ability to produce hyaluronic acid. As a result, the skin begins to lose volume, often resulting in thinning lips, facial wrinkles and folds. Dermal fillers comprised of cross-linked hyaluronic acid are used to temporarily replace the lost hyaluronic acid and to restore skin volume with a smooth natural appearance.

Juvederm XC- This is our best selling facial filler for two reasons. First, it lasts longer than other hyaluronic acid fillers. Second, it contains lidocaine so it is less painful to inject.

The hyaluronic acid in Juvederm XC is manufactured in a smooth gel versus a gel particle suspension in Restylane. This different formulation is providing a smoother, longer lasting correction than current hyaluronic acid products on the market. Even better, Juvederm XC, in conjunction with Botox, makes both products last longer.

Juvederm XC is available in two different formulations: Regular Juvederm XC is a thinner gel so it is used for mild corrections and to outline the lips. Juvederm Ultra Plus XC is much more popular with our patients. It has a thicker, plumping formula which is perfect for the lips. It works better to contour the face and add volume to larger areas such as the cheeks.

Prevelle - Prevelle is a hyaluronic acid filler from Mentor Corporation, the company we use for our breast implants. Like Juvederm XC, Prevelle contains lidocaine. It's thinner formulation is perfect for treating really fine lines. For example, we are having great results using Prevelle under the eyes. However, it's important to know that because of its thinner formulation, Prevelle does not last as long as Juvederm. Still, if you are on a budget or considering fillers for the first time, Prevelle is an excellent choice.

Prevelle $300 per syringe
