Dermal Fillers

• Improve wrinkles on your face or around your lips that you wish to diminish.
• Create fuller more defined lips.
• Improve deep nasolabial folds (the line between the nose and the corner of your mouth)
• Improve scars on your face.

Belotero® and Juvéderm™ are sterile gels consisting of hyaluronic acid, which is a natural substance found throughout the body. The role of hyaluronic acid in the skin is to deliver nutrients, hydrate the skin by holding in water, and to act as a cushioning agent.

Dr. Shire is also now offering VOLUMA™ to add volume to the cheek area. This treatment lasts up to 2 years, and is great for enhancing the cheekbones.

These products are used to correct wrinkles, scars and fill in defects. There is not a required skin test for Belotero® and Juvéderm™ because they contain no animal products, thus patients sensitive or allergic to eggs, beef or chicken are not affected, as they might be if collagen were used.

Belotero® and Juvéderm™ are biodegradable, which means that when the injected gel breaks down, it turns into water and carbon dioxide and disappears unnoticed from the body. Best of all, Belotero® and Juvéderm™ last up to one year!

When Belotero® and Juvéderm™ are placed in an area where improvement is sought such as with filling deep lines, they create or add volume, and work as a filler lifting up wrinkles while also smoothing them out.

Belotero® and Juvéderm™ are also used for enhancing lips, they add volume and shape to the treated area. In fact lipstick “bleeding” can often be corrected by redefining the lip line with Belotero® and Juvéderm™.

All injections are always done by Dr. Shire and never his nurse.
