Everybody loves top 5’s. What are the five most popular facial fillers? I don’t know.. but here’s my top 5 list anyways.

5) ArteColl ®/ ArteFill ® – This is the first injectable to provide a permanent support solution to fill wrinkles and prevent further wrinkling. (In the United States, ArteColl ® is approved strictly for correction of nasolabial folds.)

4) Sculptra ® - An injectable made of synthetic polylactic acid contained in microspheres, Sculptra ® is the first FDA-approved injectable for the restoration of lost facial volume (correction of lipoatrophy) in people with HIV infection.

3) Radiesse ® (formerly known as Radiance) - This is a synthetic dermal filler made of calcium hydroxyapatite is utilized for the correction of moderate to severe wrinkles and folds. This injectable is a longer-lasting filler because the body forms collagen around the microspheres; adding bulk to the injected areas.

2) Restylane ® – A non-animal, biodegradable gel composed of hyaluronic acid, Restylane ® is a soft tissue filler that adds volume to the skin through tiny injections; smoothing facial folds and wrinkles in areas around the mouth and eyes.

1) Juvederm ™ – Made of a hyaluronic acid gel, Juvederm ™ is a naturally-occurring substance in the skin that contributes to volume and hydration. Juvederm ™ is designed to temporarily correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds.
