Why Choose a Cosmetic Filler:

Over time skin begins to lose volume and structure and that is when lines and wrinkles begin to appear. Realis Medical Spa offers many options to improve the appearance of your skin, and for the deeper wrinkles, injectable dermal fillers offer the best and most immediate improvement. The procedure is simple and can be done on your lunch hour.

Which Comestic Filler is right for You?

There are several different types of cosmetic dermal fillers available today. Depending on which area you are interested in correcting, Dr. McClendon and his trained staff will discuss the options with you and choose the most appropriate filler.

When Can Cosmetic Filler Be Used?

Fillers work exceptionally well on wrinkles around the mounth and lips. They can be used to enhance cheekbones and jawlines and can even be used near the eyes to remove the "sunken eye" image. You can use these fillers to reduce the appearance of aging in your hands and if you have ever wanted fuller lips, a dermal filler is the best choice.
Cosmetic Fillers are often used in conjunction with Botox and other procedures for those seeking comprehensive, non-surgical Facial Rejuvenation.

How Are Treatments Performed?

Dr. McClendon is one of the first physicians in Houston using the intra-oral injection technique. This "Hollywood" style of injecting lessens the chance of bruising and swelling and makes the procedure much more comfortable.

Here is some additional information about some of the dermal fillers we use.

Restorative Dermal Fillers

A Natural Look That Lasts

Radiesse is a safe, next generation cosmetic dermal filler that lasts longer than the former leading filler. It is setting a new standard for the correction of facial lines and wrinkles, restoring a natural, youthful look in an easy, convenient treatment. Numerous medical studies have shown that Radiesse is a safe, longer lasting treatment to fill and correct smile lines, nasolabial folds and wrinkles around the nose and mouth.

Immediate Satisfaction, Long Lasting Results

The results of a Radiesse treatment are immediate. Radiesse dermal filler typically lasts about a year depending on the area you are working on. Since results may vary be sure to discuss your expectations with your provider.

Safe and Effective

Radiesse is made of unique calcium-based micro-spheres that are suspended in a natural gel that is injected into the skin through a simple, safe and minimally invasive procedure.

Hundreds of thousands of patients have experienced Radiesse and more than 4,000 physicians worldwide have been trained to provide the treatments. In head-to-head studies comparing Radiesse to other fillers, results prove that Radiesse is longer lasting.

What is Juvederm?

We recently launched online Treatment Visualizer tools for both Juvéderm® and BOTOX® Cosmetic, where patients can upload their own photo and virtually "see" their (potential) post-treatment results.
We are pleased to announce that the same tool is available for you to download for use on your own websites!

As we age, our skin changes. Over time, the natural volume of youthful skin begins to diminish as wrinkles and folds form. But, with Juvederm injectable gel, you don't have to just sit back and let it happen! Juvederm helps to instantly restore your skin's volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and folds, like your "smile lines".

Juvederm is a smooth consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid- a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration. Your health-care professional eases Juvederm under the skin to provide a smooth, natural feel- so everyone will notice, but no-one will know! In fact, studies show superior results of Juvederm compared to a collagen-based dermal filler. Juvederm is the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler that is proven to be safe and effective for persons of color.

Because Juvederm comes in two formulations, you can personalize your treatments. Juvederm Ultra is for versatility in contouring and volumizing facial wrinkles and folds. Juvederm Ultra Plus is a more robust formulation for volumizing and correcting deeper folds and wrinkles. This allows your provider to tailor treatments to meet your unique needs.

Artefill

Artefill is the first and only FDA-approved non-resorbable wrinkle filler for the correction of smile lines. The unique microspheres in Artefill are not absorbed by the body and provide a permanent support structure your skin needs for long lasting wrinkle correction. Patients from the original clinical trial that are now more than 5 years out from their initial treatment reflect a natural appearance in both their overall facial appearance as well as in the area treated with Artefill.
