Dermal fillers are used to enhance lips, to restore volume, and to correct wrinkles. Fillers are composed of different
materials, have varying lengths of longevity and indications for use.
With any injectable there may be mild temporary side effects such as swelling, redness, and or bruising at the injection site.
Less common side effects are rash, itching, lumpiness, or infection. We recommend that you schedule a
consultation with our staff for an evaluation and recommendation of
the filler that will best meet your individual needs. Only FDA approved fillers are used at Monarch Bay Laser.
JUVÉDERM™ Injectible Gel and RESTYLANE® are Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid products,
a substance found in normal, healthy skin. The role of hyaluronic acid in the skin is to deliver nutrients, hydrate the skin
by holding water, and to act as a cushioning agent. These fillers are injected into the skin with a very fine small needle.

Artefill is a FDA approved dermal filler composed of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) microspheres & bovine collagen that work to abolish facial lines and wrinkles - also known as "nasolabial folds." Artefill is not absorbed by the body and produces a long lasting result without the need for a series of repeat injections. Patients are able to resume normal activities instantaneously and most only require 1 or 2 treatments, contingent on the grade of their nasolabial wrinkles and folds.
