Thinking About Anti-Wrinkle Fillers ?

Wrinkle fillers, or derma fillers as they are called in the industry, is the general name given to any procedure that uses injections to fill out the wrinkles in one's face. They can be used on the following areas:

• Worry lines in forehead
• Glabellar lines between the eyebrows
• Smile lines (adjacent to the mouth)
• Nasolabial folds (laugh lines, from nose to mouth)
• Perorbital lines (crow's feet)

Derma fillers can also be used to plump the lips. There are several different kinds of derma fillers we use, depending on the severity of the problem, your skin tone and elasticity, your medical history, and other factors.

Less Pain- More Gain The Wrinkle Filler UPDATE

Patients can now be more comfortable when they visit their doctor for deep wrinkle correction. Wrinkle Fillers such as Juvederm®, Restylane®, and Radiesse® offer formulations which contain an anesthetic called lidocaine. According to Dr. James Kern, founder of The Image Enhancement Centers in Houston and Katy Texas, the anesthetic has greatly improved patient comfort. He says some fillers even help patients increase their own collagen to further plump and fill in deep lines, particularly around the nose and mouth. All provide immediate improvement, but most patients need additional treatment in 6-12 months to preserve the effects. Dr. Kern adds that there are fillers such as Artefill® which can last up to five years without needing replacement.

The Lastest Trends - The Non-Surgical FaceLift

The lastest powerful technology allows Texas Cosmetic Surgeon James H. Kern to COMBINE facial resurfacing with fat grafting and fillers to create maximum rejuvenation with minimum downtime. The founder of The Image Enhancement Center clinics in Houston and in Katy, Dr. Kern uses the Sciton Laser's fractionated and laser peel systems to smooth skin, remove sun damage and rebuild collagen.

The Sciton SkinTyte tightens the face and neck with minimal downtime. A pioneer of advanced fat and stem cell grafting, Dr. Kern utilizes patients' own body fat and stem cells to fill and lift facial contours. Restylane®, Juvederm®, Radiesse® and Artefill® provide added lifting.

Dr. Kern's artful use of BOTOX® Cosmetic or Dysport® adds the final touch to his affordable, non-surgical approach to facial lifting.
