Fillers - Juvederm & Radiesse

When you meet with Dr. Johnson, she will explain to you the Filler treatment in detail, including the process, the recovery and the results. She will assess your skin, take your medical history and determine if you are a good candidate for filler treatment.  She will answer any questions you may have regarding the treatment with various fillers including Restylane and Radiesse.
The filler treatment is performed at the practice of Dr. Beverly Johnson, located in Silver Spring, Maryland. During treatment, the chosen filler gel is injected into the skin in tiny amounts with a very fine needle. The gel produces volume under the wrinkle, which is lifted up and smoothed out. When enhancing lips or facial contours, the filler adds volume and shape to the treated area.

Treatment with fillers is a very quick and easy process. A treatment generally takes 15 minutes, depending on the correction you wish to have performed. Most people find the injections relatively painless. A topical and/or local anesthetic will be applied to the area being treated prior to your procedure.

The results can be seen immediately. The length of time the effect of a filler treatment lasts is very individual and depends on many factors, such as the structure of your skin, lifestyle, age, the degree of perfection demanded and the injection technique. Dr. Johnson strives for natural looking, long lasting results.  Experience indicates that touch-up and follow-up treatments will add to the duration. Most people choose to have a new treatment within 6 – 8 months. The use of Radiesse, a deep filler, can last a year or more.

• Radiesse is an FDA-approved, next-generation dermal filler that is setting a new standard for the correction of facial lines and wrinkles such as nasolabial folds. Made of calcium-based microspheres suspended in a water-based gel, Radiesse is injected into the skin through a simple and minimally invasive procedure giving you immediate, visible improvement of folds and wrinkles, and providing long-lasting and beautiful results. In many patients, the effects of Radiesse may last a year or more. Offering clinically proven safety and longevity, Radiesse is a convenient treatment that stimulates the body to produce new collagen — often with just one or two office visits. Get beautiful results and long-lasting wrinkle correction.


• Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid (HA) filler thatis used to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. Studies have shown that these products are more durable than collagen based products.
