Non-invasive procedures in Southern New Hampshire in Portsmouth

Lip, nasolabial folds and deep wrinkles

If you've always wished your lips were fuller, or if you wish your lips were still as full as they once were, you have many options at Atlantic Plastic Surgery Center's southern New Hampshire office in Portsmouth. We have an array of procedures that can help you have a younger, fresher look. For the lips, we can help better define the borders or enlarge the size of the entire lip. A wide selection of dermal fillers can help you look younger instantly: You can also eliminate the often deep lines running from the corners of your nose to your mouth, called nasolabial folds with long lasting fillers such as JUVÉDERM, Restylane® or Radiesse® or use the long term filler, expected to be permanent, called Artefill®. Dermal fillers are also the perfect non-surgical choice for some types of scarring or depressions on the face and for lines that run straight up form the lips, that develop from age or from pursing the lips habitually when smoking. Which ever choice you and Dr. Ballentyne make together, you're going to be very happy with your smoother, younger looking face.

Restylane

Restylane® is a cosmetic dermal filler that replaces lost volume and restores youthful contours to the skin, greatly reducing moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds and nasolabial folds (the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth).

Restylane® lasts an average of four to six months. Restylane® is injected directly into the skin in tiny amounts with an ultra fine needle. The procedure is simple and results are immediate. For your greatest comfort, you may request that we anesthetize the area.

Restylane® is approved by the FDA for the treatment of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. Restylane® is also highly popular for lip augmentation.

Restylane is a great choice for redefining a lip border, facial depressions, facial scarring, chin augmentation, and softening acne scarring. It is also excellent for diminishing worry lines between eyebrows, smile lines, crows feet around eyes, marionette lines at corners of the mouth (nasolabial folds), and smokers lines. Restylane can be used for creating a temporary eyebrow lift, correcting facial depressions caused by fat loss, and softening the appearance of jowls.

Radiesse®

Radiesse® is natural, cosmetic dermal filler that stimulates your skin to produce new collagen. This safe and effective filler restores a natural, youthful look. Radiesse® performs beautifully for facial contouring and for the correction of smile lines and wrinkles, nasolabial folds, and wrinkles around the nose and mouth, as well as periorbital lines between eyebrows.

Through years of clinical studies and independent research, Radiesse® has been proven to be safe and effective with clinically tested reliability. Approved by the FDA, Radiesse® is made of unique calcium-based microspheres that are suspended in a natural gel injected into the skin through a simple, safe and minimally invasive procedure. Radiesse® treatment is brief and very tolerable.

Numerous medical studies have shown that Radiesse®, while not permanent, lasts 12-18 months. Radiesse® gives you immediate correction with no down time and no need for allergy testing prior to treatment. 

Restylane® can be used with BOTOX® Cosmetic. BOTOX® Cosmetic neutralizes the muscles that create wrinkles and then your Restylane® injection adds fullness to areas where you have lost it over time. Since hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the skin and other tissue, there is no need for a skin test when using Restylane®.

Dr. Ballentyne will decide which product is right for you based on an evaluation of facial wrinkles and folds during your initial consultation.

 

Artefill, The Lasting Solution for Wrinkle Correction

Artefill® was developed to provide patients with a long lasting solution for the correction of wrinkles. This simple, in-office procedure gives you immediate results making it possible for you to return to your normal daily activities right away.

Temporary dermal fillers are eventually absorbed by your body and eventually require repeat injections to maintain the results you've come to love. Artefill is different. The unique microspheres within Artefill are not absorbed by the body and provide the support your skin needs for natural, long-lasting results. An Artefill treatment improves over the course of several months and stands the test of time.

Artefill is a dual-acting wrinkle filler. The secret is in it's patented microsphere enhanced collagen. First, the collagen in Artefill visibly corrects the wrinkles, then the microspheres provide the support your skin needs for long-lasting and natural feeling wrinkle correction.

To insure you are not allergic to the collagen or anesthetic in Artefill, a skin test must be administered by your physician prior to the initial treatment or approximately 28 days ahead of time.

Thousands of patients in the U.S. have already been successfully treated with Artefill. Get the confidence you deserve with the dermal filler that provides long lasting, natural looking results.
