THE NEXT-GENERATION HYALURONIC ACID (HA) DERMAL FILLER HAS ARRIVED AT DERMACARE
Background of Fillers
In 2015 there were 2.4 million filler procedures performed which is up 6% from 2014 and 274% since 2000. The reason that fillers are popular is because they are less expensive and more accessible than surgery. Fillers are not permanent so patients are less anxious about long term effects. At Dermacare, Phoenix patients have access to the best injectors and products on the market.
One area that’s especially difficult to treat are laugh lines. As skin loses elasticity with age, the lines that run from the sides of your nose toward the corners of your mouth (nasolabial folds) and the lines that run from the corner of your mouth toward the chin (marionette lines) appear more noticeable.
What are Restylane® Refyne and Defyne?
Restylane Refyne and Restylane Defyne are fillers intended to correct deeper wrinkles and folds in the laugh lines. As we age, our skin changes. Over time, the natural volume of youthful skin begins to diminish as wrinkles and folds form.
The same company that makes Refyne also makes Restylane, Sculptra, and Dysport, has just announced FDA approval of Restylane Refyne for the treatment of moderate wrinkles and folds from the nose to mouth.
Although there are other fillers on the market that can reduce the appearance of wrinkles, Refyne is meant to give a more natural-looking look. In fact, it is the only filler on the market that have been shown in clinical trials to help maintain natural movement and expressions.
An injection specialist at Dermacare in the Phoenix area says, “I’ve been monitoring the results that [Refyne] have been getting in other countries and couldn’t wait for it to make it to the US. It’s finally here and I couldn’t be more excited. Refyne gives some of the most natural results you can get from fillers. They help smooth away hard to treat laugh lines which are the wrinkles and folds at the sides of your nose and run down toward the corners of your mouth.”
The FDA trials showed an improvement in wrinkle severity for up to twelve months in most patients. Investigators reported that 79% of Refyne users had an improvement in their wrinkles after six weeks. In another study, 97% of people that used the product were satisfied with their treatment results and would recommend it again.

“I received excellent care during my surgery and recovery and I am thrilled with my excellent results! I would highly recommend Dr. Rod and the staff at Dermacare to anyone.”
