What Can Evolysse^™ Do for You?

Smooth, Lift, and Sculpt with Strategic Precision

Are you wondering: what is Evolysse^™ used for? Evolysse^™ is the first dermal filler made with cold temperatures using Cold-X^™ Technology that helps to preserve the structure of the hyaluronic acid molecule, so filler looks and feel natural with facial expressions. This next-gen injectable integrates beautifully into the skin. The two formulations are tailored to address specific concerns:

• Evolysse^™ Smooth: This softer, more pliable gel is suitable for softening fine lines, nasolabial folds, more superficial wrinkles, and lips. Its flexible formulation allows it to blend seamlessly into delicate areas of the face for a smooth, natural texture.
• Evolysse^™ Form: Designed for deeper volumize restoration and structural contouring, this high-density injectable filler enhances the cheeks, jawline, and chin, and reduces deep-set wrinkles such as nasolabial folds, restoring youthful definition and lift.

By combining these two distinct facial filler options, our physicians can tailor your treatment for comprehensive facial rejuvenation—whether you’re looking for gentle refinement or bold definition.

Why Patients Love Evolysse^™

Evolysse^™ is formulated with advanced hyaluronic acid technology, designed to last longer while maintaining soft, flexible movement. Key advantages include:

Every treatment begins with a personalized consultation. We’ll evaluate your facial structure, aesthetic goals, and treatment history before building a plan with Evolysse™ Smooth, Form, or both.

Treatment

Using a fine needle or cannula technique, your dermatologist will place the filler with careful, artistic precision—always customized for balance, symmetry, and natural movement. Sessions typically take under thirty minutes.

Restylane^® Explained

Restylane^® is a gel filler used to instantly smooth away wrinkles around your mouth and nose. With just one treatment at Skin Care & Laser Physicians of Beverly Hills in Los Angeles, you’ll get long-lasting and natural-looking results.

Young, healthy-looking skin contains an abundance of hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring molecule that acts as the body’s internal moisturizer. HA’s primary function is to bind and absorb water, which creates volume in the face. As you age, your skin loses HA due to sunlight exposure, pollution, stress, and other factors. The lack of HA causes your skin to lose structure and volume, creating unwanted facial wrinkles and folds.

While this is happening, collagen loss can further compound the problem of visible aging. Pockets of healthy fat that give faces a youthful roundness can also shift over time, gradually getting pulled toward the ground.

Dermal fillers like Restylane^® safely and effectively replenish the hyaluronic acid your skin has lost, smoothing away unwanted facial wrinkles and folds and restoring natural contours around your nose and mouth. The gel consistency serves to replace volume lost to diminishing or shifting fat.

Mainly used to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, Restylane^® treatments may be chosen to rejuvenate multiple problem areas, including:

• Smile lines (nasolabial folds)
• Marionette lines
• Vertical lip lines

Many of the Restylane^® patients at our Los Angeles practice experience results that last up to 12 months. However, touch-up treatments may be required to achieve optimal results and maintain your new look. Treatment with Restylane^® will not provide permanent results.

Restylane^® Options

Restylane-L^®

This formula contains a small amount of lidocaine to make the injection process into the nasolabial area or lips more comfortable. Specifically designed for injections considered to be mid to deep, this filler is ideal for addressing moderate to severe nasolabial folds because of the depth at which it adds volume. It is also used for adding volume to lips that have thinned due to collagen loss over time, or that have always been thin due to genetics.

Restylane^® Refyne

Like other Restylane^® fillers, Refyne serves to soften the look of nasolabial folds. Its manufacture with a special process based on XpresHAn Technology^™ means it is especially suited for patients who want natural-looking results as they continue to make a range of facial expressions. Refyne is also used to smooth out marionette lines that form as vertical lines between the edges of the mouth and the chin.

Restylane^® Defyne

Also made with XpresHAn Technology^™, Defyne is another Restylane^® filler that treats marionette lines and nasolabial folds, though its formula makes it most appropriate for noticeably deep folds. Successfully filling in such lines requires an injectable that adds significant enough volume to create a smooth look, while still allowing for freedom of natural facial motion.

Restylane^® Lyft

Volume loss in the midface can change contours not just where the cheeks are, but also farther down due to sagging tissue. Lyft restores that volume, making the cheek area rounder and fuller, which also pulls up sagging skin to keep the jawline clean and well defined. A versatile injectable, Lyft can also be used to augment cheeks that just need a little boost and to enhance the backs of hands that have developed a skeletal look due to volume loss. Of course, correcting nasolabial folds is also an option.

Restylane^® Silk

Unique among the other fillers in the Restylane^® family, Silk’s formula contains particles that are smoother and smaller than the options used for reducing the appearance of facial folds. The texture works well to address fine lines that form around the always-active mouth, as well as to give thin lips a noticeable—but still subtle—boost.

Restylane^® Contour

Contour is for subtle cheek rejuvenation, creating more youthful contours in the mid-face, where volume loss leads to a reduction in definition. The filler moves naturally along with facial tissues when expressions are made. Contour is the only cheek filler made with XpresHAn Technology^™.

Restylane^® Kysse

As the first lip filler made with XpresHAn Technology^™, Kysse can enhance both the texture and the color of the lips for up to a year. The gel is designed to mimic natural movement by being especially flexible. Smooth lip lines and enjoy precision correction of signs of aging related to volume loss.

Your Restylane^® Treatment

While the various members of the Restylane^® family are unique, they share the same basics when it comes to treatment sessions. At our Beverly Hills office, injections are made with an ultra-fine needle. A topical numbing cream can be applied prior to your treatment to minimize the “pinch” sensation.

The injection itself takes less than half an hour in most cases. Following the injection, your physician may gently massage the treated areas and/or apply a cool compress to reduce swelling. You may experience pain, tenderness, temporary redness, swelling, bruising, firmness, and bumps at the injection sites. Usually mild to moderate in nature, these reactions typically clear up on their own in seven days or sooner.

The duration of results depends on the Restylane^® brand chosen. The procedures are quick and easy, and the results are visible right away!

More Than Restylane^®

Skin Care & Laser Physicians has multiple brands of fillers in the menu of services, since Restylane^® may be the best option for certain patients, but not others. Each case is unique, which is why the Los Angeles-area physicians also offer Voluma^®, Juvéderm^® Ultra, Vollure^®, Belotero Balance^®, and Radiesse^®, each with its own unique properties.

These fillers can be used on their own, or can be combined with each other and more treatments for an effect not possible from one injectable alone. Our physicians are prepared to work with each man and woman seeking a cosmetic change in order to recommend the ideal treatment.

WHAT IS VOLUX^™?

Volux^™ is a hyaluronic acid-based injectable filler made by Allergan. The FDA approved Volux^™ in 2022 for addressing moderate to severe loss of jawline definition. Jawline enhancement includes volumizing the chin and jowls, creating a better-defined “foundation” for the face.

Hyaluronic acid is a chemical made all throughout the body. In the skin, it serves to hydrate, moisturize, and provide fulness—primarily because each hyaluronic acid molecule can hold up to 1,000 times its own weight in water. Hyaluronic acid levels in the skin drop over time, along with dwindling collagen and healthy facial fat. This loss can lead to a “softer” jawline and skin laxity, resulting in sagging and the formation of jowls.

Restoring the lost volume with Volux^™ gives the jawline a “sharper” look, creating more definition between the chin and the neck below. Filling out the areas where volume loss caused laxity tightens the skin again—a benefit that can pull up sagging tissues.

Because Daxxify^™ can reduce muscle activity where injected, it is perfect for reducing or preventing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, which are facial lines related to contractions.

KEY VOLUX^™ DETAILS

Our Board-Certified and Cosmetic Fellowship-Trained Dermatologists administer Volux^™ in sessions that can be as quick as a lunch break. Because the new volume is visible right away, patients will be able to see an improvement to their definition as soon as the injections are complete.

The injection process may result in some initial bruising and swelling, which can prevent the “final” result from being seen in the first days after a session. These side effects will resolve to reveal the ultimate contours.

WHY CHOOSE SKIN CARE & LASER PHYSICIANS FOR VOLUX^™ IN LOS ANGELES?

We are the only practice in LA that has a staff consisting solely of dermatologists who have completed a one-year post-residence cosmetic fellowship in the advanced use of injectables, lasers, and medical rejuvenation procedures and technology. We have collectively worked as principal investigators for most fillers approved by the FDA for the U.S. market.

Get A Subtle Boost for Your Lips in the Los Angeles Area

Many hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers focus on adding volume to fill in facial folds or re-contour the midface, but results are more focused and subtle with Volbella^® XC. In the Los Angeles area, Skin Care & Laser Physicians of Beverly Hills offers this filler in the Juvéderm^® line, designed specifically to give lips a natural-looking boost and smooth out vertical lip lines. Results have been shown to last up to a year under ideal conditions, such as working with an experienced dermatologist.

Skin Care & Laser Physicians of Beverly Hills has three dermatologists, including Dr. Derek Jones, who has a long history with Volbella^® XC manufacturer Allergan and the world of injectables as a whole. Thorough knowledge of facial anatomy and significant experience with dermal fillers gives this team the ability to deliver results that are long lasting and balanced to any face.

Volbella^® XC: A Versatile Filler

There are two primary reasons a person may want to add volume to thin lips: Either the lips were once fuller but have diminished over time due to natural age-related volume loss, or heredity is behind lips that have always been less than luscious. No matter the reason, the hyaluronic acid-based formula of Volbella^® XC is for small, precise injections that make a smile more significant without looking obviously overdone.

The subtle results available from Volbella^® XC are also well suited for smoothing out visible vertical lip lines that form with age around the mouth, spreading upward or downward from the lips.

Choosing Skin Care & Laser Physicians

We can’t emphasize enough the difference board-certified dermatologists make for patients who want natural-looking and long-lasting results. Anyone considering Volbella^® XC should ask their potential injector about their background and experience, as well as request to see photos that show before-and-after images of patients who chose the same treatment from the same provider.

More Options From Allergan And Others

Aside from Volbella^® XC, the Juvéderm^® family also contains Vollure^™ XC for up to 18 months of softened nasolabial folds, Ultra^® XC for a more significant lip boost, and Voluma^® XC for restoring midface volume. Other available fillers are Restylane^® for facial lines, Belotero Balance^® for fine lines, and Radiesse^® for volume loss on the hands and face, especially along the jawline.

Allergan is also the maker of BOTOX^® Cosmetic, the world’s most popular cosmetic treatment. Another wrinkles-smoothing injectable, it works by relaxing muscles as opposed to adding volume.

Talk to the Skin Care & Laser Physicians of Beverly Hills team to discover how Volbella^® XC and other injectables and treatments can be combined to give the entire face a refreshed look by reducing the appearance of lines, restoring youthful contours, and more.

Enjoy Long-Lasting Results for Smoothing Facial Wrinkles in the Los Angeles Area

In 2017, Skincare & Laser Physicians of Beverly Hills welcomed Juvéderm Vollure^™ XC to the Los Angeles-area practice, where the hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler joined a growing selection of FDA-approved injectables for giving skin a smoother, more youthful look. While there are other products available to treat moderate to severe wrinkles and folds on the face, Vollure^™ XC was the first with results that studies have shown to last up to 18 months.

Specifically, Vollure^™ XC targets moderate to severe “parentheses lines” and similar facial creases. These lines appear as collagen and hyaluronic acid levels drop in aging skin, causing it to thin, dry out, and grow less elastic. Volume loss leads to wrinkles forming, resulting in lines that run from the sides of the nose to the mouth, as well as lines that run from the sides of the mouth to the chin.

If you’d like to discuss the benefits of Vollure^™ XC at our Los Angeles-area practice, please inquire about a consultation with us online or call our office at 310.246.0495 for more information.

Current hyaluronic acid-based fillers used for improvement of nasolabial folds, such as Juvéderm^® Ultra and Restylane^®, have been shown to last up to one year, but in the U.S. clinical trials, the majority of patients treated with Vollure^™ XC were very satisfied with its effects at a year and a half.

Vollure^™ XC: A Dermal Filler For Today

Vollure^™ XC’s longevity marks it as a member of the “next generation” of fillers from maker Allergan, all of them formulated using proprietary Vycross^® technology that blends hyaluronic acid molecules of different weights. This blending—accomplished via a crosslinking process—gives these gels advantages in terms of structure and malleability.

Just like its widely popular sister products Voluma^® XC and Volbella^®, Vollure^™ XC binds water in the skin in a way that means post-treatment bulges may be less likely to appear. The gel is both smooth and sturdy, combining the best of both worlds. Corrections made with Vollure^™ XC are subtle, which means the resulting look is lasting and noticeable, but integrated enough with the rest of the face to appear natural.

Comparing Vollure^™ XC And Other Juvéderm^® Injectables

The Juvéderm^® family is made up of several hyaluronic acid-based injectables, each designed to tackle specific cosmetic concerns. Patients may not know which filler is best for their individual needs—but that is not a concern. The Skin Care & Laser Physicians of Beverly Hills team will suggest the filler most appropriate for the signs of aging to be addressed and the nature of each patient’s cosmetic goals.

VOLUMA^® XC does more than simply reduce the appearance of creases; it actively plumps and volumizes the cheeks and is the most durable gel in the family, featuring the thickest consistency. In contrast, Volbella^® XC is a very thin and light filler, making it ideal for smoothing out fine lines above the mouth and adding subtle definition to the lips. JUVÉDERM^® ULTRA is also used on the lips, but is intended to increase their fullness. It can also fill in deeper wrinkles. Finally, Vollure^™ XC provides a balance between the malleability of Volbella^® XC and the strength of VOLUMA^® XC. Vollure^™ XC corrects moderate to severe wrinkles around the nose and mouth, while still allowing for natural facial movements.

The Skin Care & Laser Physicians Difference

When considering any injectable treatment, such as Vollure^™ XC, it is important for a patient to choose a well-trained, board-certified aesthetic physician, such as a dermatologist, who has a proven medical background in addition to an eye for facial balance and harmony.

More Options For Facial Rejuvenation

In addition to Vollure^™ XC and other Juvéderm^® products, Skin Care & Laser Physicians of Beverly Hills offers Restylane^®, Belotero Balance^®, and Radiesse^®, with each filler providing its own unique benefits. Your dermatologist will guide you in selecting the best dermal filler for your goals.

For smoothing wrinkles on the forehead, there is BOTOX^® Cosmetic, a muscle relaxer and the most popular cosmetic treatment in the world. Laser resurfacing and other light- and ultrasound-based treatments can be used to address fine lines, spots, and other unwanted cosmetic problems.

Learn More About ULTRA^® and ULTRA^® PLUS

 

Dermal fillers are amazingly versatile. Some address fine lines in specific areas of the face, while others add volume to larger regions, changing thin lips and unsatisfying contours into fuller, more youthful ones. JUVÉDERM^® ULTRA at the Los Angeles area’s Skin Care and Laser Physicians of Beverly Hills can handle either need, with two formulations to choose from.

ULTRA and ULTRA PLUS are different forms of the same popular hyaluronic acid-based filler, JUVÉDERM^®. Dr. Derek Jones served as principal investigator on the clinical trial leading to the FDA’s approval of JUVÉDERM^® ULTRA PLUS, so he has a thorough understanding of the injectable’s various applications, as well as how best to use it to create a customized treatment plan for each patient. Whether employed as a standalone procedure for a small touch-up or incorporated into a larger regimen that includes other injectables and cosmetics, ULTRA^® is a common choice for patients who want to get a more youthful look.

Honored with the Black Diamond status for facial fillers by Allergan Pharmaceuticals, maker of JUVÉDERM^®, Dr. Jones is recognized among the top 1% of JUVÉDERM^® providers in the nation. He served as a principal investigator more than 10 years ago on the original JUVÉDERM^® trial that led to FDA approval of the No. 1 dermal filler in the nation.

Ultra^® Vs. Ultra^® Plus

The different versions of JUVÉDERM^® are designed to address specific conditions with precision and deliver natural-looking results. The difference is in the cross-linking process that yields the injectable’s distinctly smooth consistency.

• The JUVÉDERM ULTRA^® formulation is made up of softer, smaller molecules ideal for filling in moderate folds around the mouth, as well as plumping up the lips themselves. The long-lasting silky gel provides a subtle change. Results can last from about nine months to a year, making this a long-lasting option for patients who want to freshen up their face.
• The JUVÉDERM ULTRA PLUS^® formulation is made up of medium-sized molecules perfect for reducing the appearance of deeper folds. For this reason, the thicker gel is injected deeper into the skin and provides more dramatic results. These results can remain for a year, providing confidence to patients who want to know that their smoother look will last.

Patients who want to maintain their look can return for maintenance and touch-up appointments. Dermatologist Dr. Derek Jones and the Skin Care and Laser Physicians of Beverly Hills team will suggest a schedule that maximizes results with minimal interference to your daily routine.

Dr. Jones pioneered The Derek Jones Facial Harmonics^™ approach that he teaches worldwide, in which both Drs. Wesley and Black are highly trained and experienced, ensuring their patients remain looking natural and refreshed.

Don’t Forget VOLUMA^®

A third member of the JUVÉDERM^® family, VOLUMA^®, is used to add volume to the mid-face region, more commonly referred to as the “apple,” where age-related volume loss can lead to flattened cheeks, sagging, and hollows.

Dr. Derek Jones and his team are prepared to work with you to make sure you get the right treatment to deliver the results you are looking for, whether that includes plumper lips, a new contour for your cheeks, fewer folds and wrinkles, or all of the above.

Add Volume to the ‘Apple’ of the Cheeks Without Surgery

Dr. Derek Jones and the Skin Care and Laser Physicians of Beverly Hills team has a long history with VOLUMA^® XC. The Beverly Hills dermatologist Dr. Jones was the lead investigator of the U.S. FDA studies into the hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler, approved by the FDA as the first injectable filler specifically formulated to contour and shape the cheeks to correct mid-face volume loss due to normal aging.

VOLUMA^® XC results usually last 24 months or longer, with two-thirds of patients who choose the treatment maintaining results at two years after their session. In the FDA study led by Dr. Jones, 90 percent of patients rated an improvement in their appearance with VOLUMA^® XC. In addition, patients reported themselves looking younger after treatment compared to a baseline by an average of five years.

Dr. Jones was also responsible for training the majority of physicians who began using VOLUMA^® XC in the United States after its FDA approval. Having received the Black Diamond Status for BOTOX^® Cosmetic and facial fillers by Allergan Pharmaceuticals, Dr. Jones continues to stay on the forefront of new technology in his field.

“I research and lead clinical trials on many products before they ever hit the market,” Dr. Jones said, “so my team is not only ahead of the curve… but is creating the curve because we help bring forth these innovations.”

Why Would I Need Voluma^® XC?

As we age, our face loses fat and becomes hollow, which leads to sagging skin and a less youthful appearance. This may be particularly apparent in those with an active lifestyle and lean body mass.

The change in appearance can include a flattened “apple” of the cheek, which is rounder and more prominent on youthful faces. The lack of structural support higher on the face can also lead to the development of jowls lower down.

While some people experiencing these age-related shifts in facial contours may be candidates for facial surgery, many may benefit from a less invasive option such as facial fillers like VOLUMA^® XC, available at our Beverly Hills clinic.

Patients interested in adding volume to their face will start the process at Skin Care and Laser Physicians of Beverly Hills with a consultation, at which you will be assessed so a physician can determine the best approach.

Why Does Skin Change?

Youthful skin is marked by the presence of a range of beneficial proteins, sugars, and other elements. While these are maintained through an ongoing cycle of breakdown and renewal throughout a person’s younger years, this process starts to slow as time goes by. Eventually, the complex sugar known as hyaluronic acid and the versatile protein known as collagen leave faster than they are replenished in the skin, creating volume loss that leads to sagging, flattening, and the formation of wrinkles. While this is happening, people also tend to gradually lose the subcutaneous fat in their face, which keeps angles from looking harsh and rounded.

Though the process is natural and seemingly unavoidable, genetics does seem to play a part in how, when, and where the changes most obviously take place. Also, environmental factors that damage the skin—such as exposure to ultraviolet radiation, smoking, and air pollution—hasten the destruction of collagen and more. Sooner or later, the breakdown outpaces the body’s ability to replace what’s lost.

The FDA pivotal trial results were published in the Journal of Dermatologic Surgery in October 2013

Voluma^® XC Explained

VOLUMA^® XC was specifically designed to restore and lift the cheek area that has lost its shape due to normal aging. VOLUMA^® XC was formulated for contouring and shaping, making it a great option for those who need more than correcting a few lines and wrinkles.

Like other fillers in the Juvéderm^® line, VOLUMA^® XC is made of natural hyaluronic acid (HA), a major component of your own skin. That said, VOLUMA^® XC was also developed to be smoother than other hyaluronic acid fillers, making it easier to inject during treatment and resulting in a long-lasting smooth, natural look and feel. For many Beverly Hills women and men, VOLUMA^® XC has the benefit of lasting up to 24 months or longer—much longer than any other filler on the market today. This makes VOLUMA^® XC a great option for those who wish for a fuller, more youthful facial appearance without surgery. In addition, it is easily and immediately reversible if ever needed.

Dr. Jones was the Lead Investigator on the FDA trial that brought VOLUMA^® XC into the United States

Dr. Jones invented the Dr. Jones Facial Harmonics^™ Approach, which he teaches to physicians around the world and uses it to evaluate each patient. Watch the video below to see if VOLUMA^® XC is right for you.

Your Voluma^® XC Treatment

To begin your VOLUMA^® XC treatment at our Los Angeles area practice, Dr. Jones will clean the area to be treated and may apply an anesthetic to ensure the most comfortable treatment possible.

Treatment with VOLUMA^® XC is similar to other hyaluronic acid fillers, and the formulation contains lidocaine anesthetic which takes effect immediately making discomfort minimal. Just like other injectable fillers, VOLUMA^® XC is injected into the areas of the face that lack volume. While some may experience minor swelling or bruising around the injection sites, this will subside quickly. Treatment time is approximately 30 minutes, and patients are free to return to their normal activities immediately after treatment.

Following the procedure, your physician may massage the treatment sites to make sure VOLUMA^® XC is properly distributed and the results are even. Before you leave, Dr. Jones may apply ice to your treatment sites for at least 10 minutes to help minimize swelling, inflammation, and bruising. Rare bruising may be treated with the V-Beam laser with overnight resolution.

More Fillers In The Voluma^® XC Family And Beyond

Allergan, maker of VOLUMA^® XC, also offers other fillers in the JUVÉDERM^® line, including ULTRA^®, ULTRA^® PLUS, and VOLLURE^™ XC.

ULTRA^® is designed with softer results in mind and is especially suited for gently augmenting the lips and addressing moderate folds around the mouth. Results typically last nine months to a year.

ULTRA^® PLUS is a thicker gel intended for deeper nasolabial folds and similar lines, offering correction shown to last for up to a year.

Similar to ULTRA^®, VOLLURE^™ XC is designed for smoothing out lines around the mouth, but is formulated to generate results that last for up to two years.

Aside from VOLUMA^® XC and the other fillers in the JUVÉDERM^® family, there is also the hyaluronic acid-based RESTYLANE^® for treating smile lines, marionette lines, and folds around the mouth; BELOTERO^® for smoothing out fine lines; and RADIESSE^®, which is unique in that it uses a water-based gel filled with incredibly tiny spheres made of calcium. This filler works by creating a framework on which new collagen can grow, naturally increasing volume in the treatment area.

Though fillers are ideal for adding volume lost due to diminished levels of hyaluronic acid and collagen in the skin, not all wrinkles form due to that aspect of the aging process. For wrinkles and lines that appear as the result of repeated muscle contractions, there is BOTOX^® Cosmetic, an injectable form of botulinum toxin type A that limits muscle activity. When the targeted muscles stay at rest, they no longer pull the skin into obvious folds or lines.

No patient is expected to come into the office knowing which dermal filler or other treatment would be right for him or her. The physicians on the team are experienced in approaching each patient as a unique individual and will make assessments of the current state of the skin and face, then develop a plan best suited to helping each person achieve their cosmetic goals. The recommended treatment may involve just one dermal filler, such as VOLUMA^® XC, or it may include multiple different injectables, with effects that will combine to revitalize and rejuvenate the entire face.

Injectable Fillers at a Glance: What You Need to Know

As we age, sun exposure, gravity, and other factors can reduce the amount of hyaluronic acid and collagen in our skin. The loss of this soft tissue causes the skin to lose structure and volume, creating unwanted facial wrinkles and folds, such as lines around the nose and mouth.

If you’re considering cosmetic treatments, you might be wondering, “How effective are dermal fillers?” Injectable fillers such as BELOTERO^®, RADIESSE^®, Sculptra^®, Restylane^®, JUVÉDERM^® , Evolysse^®, and RHA^® help Los Angeles women and men add volume to the face. Common areas that need improvement in volume include the parentheses and the sagging corners of the mouth. Fillers like JUVÉDERM^® and JUVÉDERM VOLUMA^™ XC help replace the hyaluronic acid your skin has lost, adding volume to smooth away facial wrinkles and folds.

At your personal consultation at Skin Care and Laser Physicians of Beverly Hills, you will be assessed so our team can understand your goals and suggest the best treatments for achieving them.

What Do Injectable Fillers Treat?

Our team of Board-Certified, Cosmetic Fellowship-Trained Dermatologists uses injectable fillers to address a wide range of age-related and cosmetic concerns.

Common treatment areas include:

• Nasolabial folds (laugh lines)
• Marionette lines
• Cheek volume loss
• Hollow under-eyes
• Hollow temples
• Lip thinning or asymmetry
• Jawline definition
• Chin projection
• Hand volume loss

Injectable fillers are also popular for non-surgical facial contouring and restoring a youthful, balanced profile.

JUVÉDERM^®

JUVÉDERM^®, the #1 injectable filler in the world, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. JUVÉDERM^® helps Los Angeles women and men appear more youthful. The solution is made of hyaluronic acid, making this injectable filler an effective treatment option. We offer JUVÉDERM VOLUMA^™ XC, ULTRA and ULTRA PLUS, Vollure^™ XC, Volbella^® XC, and Volux^™.

JUVÉDERM VOLUMA^™ XC

JUVÉDERM VOLUMA^™ XC is the first injectable filler specifically developed, optimized and FDA-approved for treating mid-face volume loss associated with aging and in many cases lasts for up to 2 or more years. This treatment option is particularly helpful in restoring volume in the mid-facial region. Our team will help determine which filler will help you achieve the best results.

Restylane^®

Similar to JUVÉDERM^®, Restylane^® helps women and men improve their appearance by using hyaluronic acid to add volume and fullness to the skin. Through small injections, Restylane^® smooths wrinkles, shapes lips, and forms facial contours, and can result in a more youthful appearance. This injectable filler is typically used to add fullness to the lips and lower parts of the face.

BELOTERO^®

BELOTERO^® is a hyaluronic acid injectable filler specifically designed to treat fine lines. BELOTERO^® outperforms other hyaluronic acid injectable fillers for fine lines and creates a smooth appearance without creating the appearance of too much volume, especially around the lip and mouth area. It integrates into your dermal tissue to provide subtle yet noticeable results. In clinical studies, 97% of patients showed visible improvements after just one treatment with BELOTERO^®.

Evolysse^®

Evolysse^® is a next-generation injectable filler made with hyaluronic acid and created using advanced Cold-X^™ Technology to preserve the natural structure of the gel. It’s designed to smooth dynamic wrinkles and folds, especially around the smile lines and nasolabial folds, with results that look natural, feel smooth, and can last up to a year.

RHA^®

The RHA^® Collection of injectable fillers is an advanced line available at our Los Angeles office, designed to smooth dynamic wrinkles and restore natural-looking facial volume. Formulated with a resilient form of hyaluronic acid that closely mimics the body’s own, RHA^® injectable fillers move naturally with your expressions for a soft, flexible, and authentic result. We offer RHA^® 2, 3, and 4, as well as RHA^® Redensity—each tailored to address specific concerns, from fine lines around the lips and mouth to deeper facial folds and contour restoration. Results are long-lasting, typically visible for up to 15 months, making the RHA^® Collection an excellent choice for subtle, expressive facial rejuvenation.

RADIESSE^®

RADIESSE^® is a biostimulatory injectable filler used in our office in Los Angeles to treat loss of fat in the face, hands, and the jawline. Made of calcium-based microspheres suspended in a water-based gel, RADIESSE^® treatments are reported to last a year or more. A RADIESSE^® treatment stimulates the body to produce new collagen. It is a particularly good option for volumizing the tissue lost from aging in the hands and for reshaping a sagging jawline.

Sculptra^®

Sculptra^® is a biostimulatory injectable filler offered in our Los Angeles office that gradually restores facial volume and firmness by stimulating natural collagen production. Made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), Sculptra^® works beneath the skin’s surface to rebuild lost structure and improve skin quality over time. Results develop gradually for a natural look and can last up to two years or more, making it an ideal injectable filler for long-lasting facial rejuvenation.

Understanding Injectable Fillers: HA Gels vs. Collagen Stimulators

There are two main types of dermal fillers: hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers and biostimulatory fillers.

HA injectable fillers, like JUVÉDERM^® and Restylane^®, are made of a naturally occurring sugar molecule in the skin. These fillers work by physically filling in wrinkles and adding volume, and their effects are immediate and reversible.

Biostimulatory fillers, such as RADIESSE^® and Sculptra^®, contain ingredients that stimulate your body’s own collagen production. Rather than just filling, they trigger regeneration over time, making them ideal for deeper volume loss or areas like the jawline and hands.

Each type offers unique benefits, and during your consultation, we’ll determine the ideal injectable filler option based on your needs and anatomy.

What to Expect from Your Injectable Filler Treatment

Our team are recognized as leaders in cosmetic dermatology and highly regarded by patients and physicians for giving a natural and refreshed look. Each injectable filler treatment at our Beverly Hills practice begins with an in-depth consultation. Only our Board-Certified and Cosmetic Fellowship-Trained Dermatologists perform injections, ensuring safety, precision, and artistry.

This quick in-office treatment typically takes under 30 minutes. Most injectable fillers include lidocaine to minimize discomfort, and patients usually return to daily activities right away. Results can be seen instantly, though some biostimulatory options improve gradually over time. One of the most common questions patients ask is, “How long do injectable fillers last?” Depending on the type used, injectable filler results may last for up to one year or more.

More Ways to Rejuvenate: Complementary Treatments We Offer

Injectable fillers are just one piece of our comprehensive cosmetic approach. Patients often pair them with other non-invasive treatments for enhanced results. Popular options include wrinkle relaxers like BOTOX^® and similar products, which target dynamic lines caused by facial movement. Laser skin resurfacing and other lasers improve tone and texture. Chemical peels and microdermabrasion are other go-to options for boosting radiance, and Kybella^® is a non-surgical solution for reducing submental fullness, commonly known as a double chin.

During your consultation, we can explore a full-face rejuvenation strategy using customized combinations that offer maximal benefit with minimal downtime.

ENJOY WRINKLE-RELAXING RESULTS FASTER WITH INJECTIONS FOR BEVERLY HILLS, LOS ANGELES, AND BEYOND

 

Dysport® at Los Angeles’ Skin Care & Laser Physicians of Beverly Hills is an injectable wrinkle relaxer designed to target glabellar lines, which are most commonly referred to as frown lines. Our Board-Certified and Cosmetic Fellowship-Trained Dermatologists worked on the clinical trials for Dysport®, which was ultimately approved by the FDA for addressing frown lines. These are wrinkles that appear as the number 11 between the eyebrows when specific expressions are made. Treatments involve five injections made between and above the eyebrows and can be completed in just 10 to 20 minutes.

Dysport® provides results that appear a bit faster than results from other wrinkle-relaxing injectables. Patients can expect to see their frown lines start to relax just two or three days after their injection session, and the smoothing effects can last up to five months. There are many treatments available for addressing signs of aging, so it’s important to talk to our team of Board-Certified and Cosmetic Fellowship-Trained Dermatologists to determine which treatment option is best for you.

TARGET FROWN LINES WITH A WRINKLE-RELAXER MADE WITH NO EXTRANEOUS INGREDIENTS FOR BEVERLY HILLS, LOS ANGELES, AND BEYOND

 

Women and men alike enjoy beautiful results with wrinkle-relaxing Xeomin™. Our Los Angeles-based team of Board-Certified and Cosmetic Fellowship-Trained Dermatologists performed principal investigation for the Xeomin® clinical trials, which ultimately received FDA approval for addressing frown lines between the eyebrows. In addition to smoothing glabellar lines, it can also be used “off-label” for a variety of signs of aging. Treatment sessions are quick and can often be completed in about 20 minutes or less.

Xeomin® is a unique wrinkle relaxer because it is made only with ingredients required for it to effectively smooth facial lines. Its “lean” design has earned it the nickname “the naked injectable.” Because it lacks accessory proteins found in similar wrinkle relaxers, it can be an ideal choice for patients who have developed something of a “resistance” to other options. Results typically begin to appear after three to four days, with the full effect visible after 30 days and the results lasting three months or longer.
