As our skin ages, facial wrinkles develop from sun damage and gravity. Facial wrinkles become prominent as collagen and the supporting elastin fibers beneath our skin surface breakdown. Replacing this missing or degraded collagen and elastin with fresh biodegradable material in the dermis is one option to help lessen the appearance of wrinkles and lines on our face. Dermal fillers today are more sophisticated than the bovine collagen from the past which still requires a skin allergy test before its use.

Dermal fillers presently are animal derived or non-animal derived. The reNew Medispa offers many types of dermal fillers depending on your specific needs. In some cases, dermal fillers are combined with Botox® Cosmetic for enhanced results. Because reNew is a medical spa you may request topical anesthesia or a dental block with lidocaine to maximize your comfort. General treatment times vary but are usually between 20-30 minutes, if you anticipate the need for an anesthetic agent than you should add an additional 25 minutes onto your treatment time.

After the treatment there is generally no down time, you may experience some mild redness and swelling at the treatment site. The most common facial sites that individuals request treatment for at the reNew Medispa are the creases between the cheek and lip (nasolabial fold), the creases that tend to arc down from the corners of the mouth (marionette lines), the lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) and to enhance the upper or lower lips.

Captique™
Captique™ gel is composed of hyaluronic acid. It is non-animal derived and is produced from bacterial origin. Hyaluronic acid is a component of skin, it diminishes with age. Captique™ is injected into the dermis to help correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles. It has undergone extensive testing and is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a dermal filler.
