The war against ageless youth and dermatological problems is far from over. Yet people who deem personal appearance as an important asset may now take comfort in knowing that Restylane and Juvederm are here to help fight our battles with age.

You can receive Restylane and Juvederm at Georgia Skin Cancer & Aesthetic Dermatology. Dr. Ross M. Campbell, a Georgia native and former chief resident of Dermatology at Brown Medical School, heads the institution.

To begin with, Restylane and Juvederm are clear gels administered with the use of a syringe injected directly beneath the skin’s surface. Restylane and Juvederm are made of hyaluronic acid which is a naturally occurring acid in the human body specifically found in the dermis of the skin. It is responsible for keeping the skin firm yet supple. Restylane and Juvederm have received a seal of approval from the FDA.

Upon injection onto the dermal layer, the treated area immediately appears fuller. As the body breaks down Restylane and Juvederm, its hyaluronic acid molecules bind together with water molecules. This water-binding action helps maintain the treated area’s full appearance. It also causes a more natural-looking fullness for the treated area.

Restylane and Juvederm treatment can last from 6 up to 12 months in some patients. The duration of the treatment would depend on these factors: the patient’s skin condition, the patient’s age, and of course, his or her current health status. Unlike other fillers that may require multiple units at shorter intervals, most patients need only one Restylane and Juvederm treatment administration for a particular target area to achieve the desired maximum fullness. Restylane and Juvederm leave neither residue nor trace upon being broken down completely in the patient’s body. Restylane and Juvederm do not contain any animal proteins so it can be administered immediately without prior allergy tests.

There are known mild side effects caused by Restylane and Juvederm. These include redness, bruising or swelling, and tenderness. In some cases, the patients might also experience some mild to moderate pain. But these side effects are only temporary and may last only a few minutes or days after treatment.

Unlike some centers, at Georgia Skin Cancer & Aesthetic Dermatology the cost of a Restylane and Juvederm treatment depends simply on the amount of Restylane and Juvederm needed to provide optimal results. This and a wide range of other cosmetic treatments are offered by Dr. Campbell in Athens and at Campbell Dermatology at Cowles Clinic (Lake Oconee) at very practical costs.
