At Dr. Olson’s practice, he offers several filler formulations that each work in slightly different ways. When you visit for a treatment, he or his master injector will discuss your options with you to determine the best product for your goals and anatomy. Available products include:
JUVÉDERM XC: This product contains a smooth gel of hyaluronic acid (HA). Naturally occurring in the skin, HA helps skin stay hydrated and maintain its youthful volume.
RADIESSE: RADIESSE consists of tiny calcium-based microspheres suspended in a water-based gel. In addition to adding volume, it triggers the growth of new collagen.
Restylane: Similar to JUVÉDERM, Restylane is a different formulation of HA which helps hydrate the skin and is preferred by many injectors for the under-eye, or tear trough. It has also been very popular for lip augmentation.
Sculptra Aesthetic: Made of a safe, naturally absorbed poly-L-lactic acid formula, Sculptra increases volume and stimulates collagen production. This has more recently become popular for buttock augmentation for those who aren’t surgical candidates, as well as a cellulite treatment. Treatment involves a regimen of up to 4 injection sessions at about 3-week intervals.
