    Have you ever looked in the mirror and wished you did not look so tired? Beauty at any age comes in many shapes and forms. While our genetics play a large role in how we age, environmental insults can accelerate the process. Illness, stress, weight loss, chronic sun exposure, tobacco use, pollution and hormonal changes can all take their toll over time. Our face is like a balloon that is full and round when we are younger. With the passage of  time, decreases in the fat compartments of our face, facial bone structure, muscle mass, skin elasticity and collagen content all contribute to that tired hollowed look, sagging skin, jowls, wrinkling and enlarged pores. While healthy living is one way we can battle these changes of time, the cosmetic use of fillers to immediately restore lost facial volume, soften fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars and sagging skin is another beauty secret for millions of men and women.  When used carefully and conservatively, these treatments can give a very natural rested look. Choices of fillers in the United States and how they are used by Dermatologists have evolved dramatically over the years. Several FDA approved choices are now available including Belotero Balance, Juvederm, Restlyane, Perlane, Radiesse and Sculptra.
