Dr. Sparano uses only FDA-cleared injectable soft tissue fillers to restore facial volume and fill out wrinkles, facial depressions, or facial asymmetries for a refreshed and healthy appearance. The type of injectable used and technique selected is customized for each patient. Dr. Sparano performs all injections himself. Soft tissue facial fillers offer a powerful and impressive method of delivering beautiful results without the downtime associated with surgery.
Belotero Balance® filler is specially designed to integrate into your skin and mold to your distinct facial contours. By adapting to the individuality of your skin, it softens lines and wrinkles around the nose and mouth for smooth and natural results.
Belotero Balance® filler has unique properties that allow it to adapt within the skin for soft and even correction. The versatility of the product makes it strong enough to handle deep treatment areas such as nasolabial folds (smile lines around the mouth), yet soft enough to treat more delicate areas such as vertical lip lines (thin lines that appear above the lip line). Dr. Sparano especially likes using Belotero Balance® as a fine line filler, most notably around the lips.
Belotero Balance® filler is made of a material called hyaluronic acid or HA. HA naturally exists as a component of your skin. By binding to water, it fills in wrinkles and folds, allowing immediate and smooth correction.
Injections are performed in Dr. Sparano's procedure room and typically take 15-45 minutes to perform. Patients experience minimal or no discomfort as Dr. Sparano prefers the Juvederm™ XC products mixed with anesthesia. Side effects are usually minimal and may consist of temporary swelling or bruising.
