What is…..?  

In the field of injectables, dermal fillers, skin resurfacing, and facial rejuvenation, there are many trade name products, each with its own special characteristics and capabilities.  Some of these products have shown better results than others, some are more comfortable or faster to administer, and some give longer lasting results.  It would be inappropriate, however, to rate these products or recommend one over the other as many factors must be taken into consideration.  What works wonders for one patient may not be effective on another.

The true answer to deciding which procedure using which product will achieve the results you desire lies only in the decision made by you and your licensed physician.  Experience and expertise in administering facial rejuvenation products coupled with a thorough examination of your personal skin characteristics, your general health, age, and health history will result in determining the product and process that will achieve your aesthetic goals.

The following alphabetical list will help you sort out trade names and general procedures to give you an overview of many of the most exciting products which have FDA approval and/or are being used by board-certified dermatologists and plastic surgeons for approved “off label” uses.  All products and procedures listed are available in the US market.  For specifics and further information on any of these processes or products, see the links noted for each to articles and websites.
