Collagen injections have long been one of the most effective ways to get rid of wrinkles, and offer patients instant, natural-looking results.
Evolence is one of the latest collagen fillers on the market; it received FDA approval in June 2008 and has since become one of the most sought-after anti aging treatments on the market. It is especially attractive for individuals who want to undergo a ‘liquid facelift’ to rejuvenate and sculpt the face.
If you’ve been looking for an effective way to get rid of wrinkles and enjoy a more youthful look, here’s what you need to know about Evolence dermal fillers:
How Evolence Dermal Fillers Work
The aging process involves a significant loss of collagen, the building blocks of skin tissues that create a healthy, supple appearance. By injecting small doses of collagen into key facial compartments, surgeons have been able to sculpt and rejuvenate the face and get rid of many telltale signs of aging. Patients who once had small lines and wrinkles around the eyes, deep grooves around the mouth, or those that are seeing patches of sagging skin around the face can tighten up the skin with a collagen injection.
Evolence is made of natural collagen, which means the body readily ‘accepts’ the compound upon injection and can use it to replace any lost collagen deposits in the skin tissues. Results with the collagen treatment are immediate, but the body will then slowly begin to cross-link to the Evolence compound to recreate the skin tissue structures. Results typically last between 5-6 months, and most patients will need to maintain results with a touch-up treatment.
Key Benefits of Evolence
Evolence is different from other leading dermal fillers on the market, because it is the only filler that uses natural collagen as its active ingredient. This allows for easy adaptation by the body, and instant, natural-looking results. Key benefits of the Evolence injectable include:
- No skin pre-test required – patients can be in and out of the doctor’s office in one visit
- Lasting results – most people can enjoy results for at least 6 months, which makes it easy to keep up with maintenance treatments over the years
- No downtime – the injection causes minimal-to-no swelling, which means patients can resume regular activities immediately after the treatment
- Can correct deep facial wrinkles – unlike some dermal fillers that only treat mild to moderate facial wrinkles, Evolence has the ability to plump up deeper grooves on the forehead, around the mouth, and around the eyes
- Can be used with other fillers – since Evolence is made with collagen, a naturally-occuring substance in the body, patients may use other dermal fillers in other areas of the face when necessary. This type of treatment is most appropriate for patients undergoing the liquid facelift, where different injectables must be used to sculpt and reshape certain areas of the face.
