Show the World Your Best Face!

Restylane® and Perlane® dermal fillers are expertly and gently injected by Dr. Kristina Zakhary just beneath the skin’s surface to restore your face’s natural youthful contours and enhance facial shape.

Each filler is placed in precise amounts until an optimal level of correction is achieved. The treated areas are then gently massaged to ensure a smooth, natural-looking result.

These hyaluronic acid fillers can be used to soften and “fill in” smile lines, frown lines, worry lines, acne scars, and fine lines around the lips. They can also be used to enhance or define the lip border.

You may exercise regularly, eat well, and protect your skin with sunscreen—even on cloudy days. But despite your best efforts, signs of aging such as volume loss can still appear. Fortunately, Restylane® and Perlane® fillers offer an effective way to help you put your best face forward.

As we age, the face gradually loses fat, muscle, and even bone structure, leading to a hollow or tired appearance. Dermal fillers help restore this lost volume for a fresher, more youthful look.

For individuals seeking to smooth fine lines or subtly enhance the lips, Restylane® treatments may provide the ideal solution. For those needing more volume to rejuvenate the mid-face or deeper folds, Perlane® treatments may be the better option.

These minimally invasive filler procedures offer significant, natural-looking results and continue to grow in popularity. Visit our media page to explore news stories and patient experiences.

FAQs

Dr. Kristina Zakhary describes facial aging in terms of the Three D’s of Aging: Deterioration, Deflation, and Descent.

Deterioration occurs when the skin begins to lose its smooth texture. This process can lead to the development of wrinkles, enlarged pores, and age spots, giving the skin a dull or uneven appearance.

Deflation refers to the gradual loss of facial volume. Areas such as the cheeks and under-eye region may begin to look hollow, creating the appearance of eye bags, deeper nasolabial folds, and an overall tired look.

When deterioration and deflation are combined with descent—the downward shift of facial tissues—the overall effect can be a noticeably older and fatigued appearance.

Using advanced volume fillers, Dr. Zakhary can help restore youthful contours, replenish lost volume, and rejuvenate your facial features, giving you a more refreshed and rested appearance.

There are many options to help you, and one way to help restore the contours of your face and help define your features is to add volume to facial tissue with Restylane® or Perlane.

The main ingredient in Restylane® is hyaluronic acid, a sugar molecule also found naturally in human skin. When strategically placed in the right areas, it will attract and binds to water, helping to maintain your face's volume and contours.

Signs of aging are different for everyone and Restylane® can help

  • Enhance the contours of your cheeks for a more youthful appearance
  • Minimize deep folds between your nose and mouth,
    and enhance the volume and definition of your lips
  • Fill the hollows beneath your eyes
  • Reduce wrinkles by increasing your skin's volume and firmness

The Restylane® injections offer many advantages

  • Smooth wrinkles
  • Last 6 to 12 months
  • Give immediate results
  • Take less than 30 minutes
  • Are safe
  • Have minimal recovery time

Because Restylane® is typically resorbed by the body over time, you may want to return to your doctor periodically to maintain your look. This "maintenance plan" is different for everyone. How long your treatment will last is very individual. Dr. Zakhary will be able to determine this during your consultation.
