Frown lines deepen. Cheeks begin to flatten. What used to bounce back now settles into fine lines and volume loss. But you don’t need surgery to refresh your look. Injectable facial fillers, such as Restylane and Radiesse, smooth, lift, and redefine aging skin quickly.
At UMass Memorial Medical Group, patients benefit from the advanced skills of Dr. Joyce McIntyre, a fellowship-trained craniofacial surgeon with a focus on aesthetic and reconstructive facial procedures. With elite training from Southern California and her role as assistant professor at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, Dr. McIntyre applies her extensive experience to help patients restore volume and achieve natural-looking results.
Restylane vs. Radiesse: What Makes Each Filler Unique?
Not all facial fillers are alike. Both Restylane and Radiesse restore volume and smooth wrinkles, but they work differently beneath the skin. Understanding their differences helps you choose the right fit for your goals.
Restylane:
- Hyaluronic acid-based: This naturally occurring substance helps retain moisture and softness.
- Versatile applications: Treats lips, cheeks, under-eyes, and deep facial folds.
- Subtle, soft results: Ideal for first-timers or those seeking a gentle boost.
Radiesse:
- Calcium hydroxylapatite-based: Stimulates collagen for long-lasting volume.
- Firmer structure: Better suited for deeper wrinkles and lifting areas like cheeks and jawlines.
- Longevity: Results may last up to 12-18 months, making it a great choice for structural support.
Each filler is FDA-approved and used based on the depth of your wrinkles and your desired outcome.
Benefits of Injectable Fillers for Volume Loss and Wrinkles
Facial fillers don’t just fill lines — they sculpt, shape, and refresh the way you see yourself. When placed with precision, they bring balance back to your features and confidence to your smile.
Here’s how injectable fillers can improve facial volume and reduce signs of aging:
- Restore youthful fullness: Fillers plump areas affected by fat and collagen loss.
- Smooth static wrinkles: Target nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and frown lines.
- Lift contours: Support sagging skin and define cheekbones or jawlines.
- Refresh lips and eyes: Restore volume and symmetry where aging is most noticeable.
Results appear immediately, with minimal downtime and noticeable softening of facial lines.
