The way your skin looks is directly related to the
way your skin is supported. Collagen is actually the natural support structure
of your skin. As we age, the collagen thins and wrinkles appear. Other
factors such as environment, disease, lifestyle, and heredity can also
weaken the collagen fibers, causing wrinkles. Dermal Fillers are injected
just below the surface of the skin, filling in unwanted wrinkles and lines,
and adding definition to the lip border. Fillers can minimize or eliminate
the lines that appear between the nose and mouth when you smile. Also,
it can add definition to the lips and fill in those annoying vertical
lip lines.
Injectable dermal fillers restore volume and fullness to the skin reducing
the appearance of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. Diva offers
a wide range of dermal fillers to suit each your needs.

Hylaform®
An economical way to smooth away unwanted lines and wrinkles. This dermal
filler is made of Hyaluronic acid (a naturally occuring substance) and
is reported to last about three months.
Restylane®
This is the first and only cosmetic dermal filler made of non-animal Hyaluronic
acid and is used to provide volume and fullness to the skin. Restylane
can last up to nine months.
RadianceFN
This is made of a completely synthetic compound comprised of microspheres
of calcium hydroxyl apatite combined with an aqueous gel. Calcium is a
natural substance already in the body, so Radiance will not cause a negative
reaction. Radiance has been used safely by the medical field for over
25 years, and the filler lasts 3-5 years. It is gradually replaced by
your body's own tissue and slowly dissolves away over several years.
Sculptra
Sculptra is an injectable product that restores and corrects
the signs of facial fat loss replacing lost volume. Sculptra provides
an increase in skin thickness, helping to create a more natural facial
appearance in those with facial lipoatrophy.
Sculptra is composed of poly-L-lactic acid, a synthetic material.
Sculptra is not made from human or animal sources and does not require
a skin test. Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) is a biocompatible (does not harm
the body), biodegradable(able to be broken down by the body) material
that has been widely used for many years in surgical products. The effects
are long-lasting; they were shown in a clinical study to last for up to
2 years the first treatment session.
