New Non-Surgical Cosmetic Treatment in Southwest Florida, Results Last Up to 5 Years

FORT MYERS, Fla. - March 14, 2014 - PRLog -- Fort Myers Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon, Douglas M. Stevens, MD, is one of only three doctors in the Fort Myers area to offer the wrinkle filler Artefill. Unlike other wrinkle fillers, Artefill is a long-lasting solution for natural looking wrinkle correction. Patients have seen results that have lasted as long as five years or more. This means fewer trips to the doctor and no need for multiple injections.

One of the prominent differences allowing for these long-lasting results is the Artefill microspheres. Traditional wrinkle fillers are comprised of natural or synthetic materials that are eventually broken down and absorbed by the body. These tiny microspheres do not get absorbed; rather work with the patient’s skin to produce the collagen necessary to keep wrinkles from coming back.

In addition to Artefill, Dr. Stevens has introduced Juvederm Voluma™ XC. Different from the original Juvederm®, which is used to simply smooth away wrinkles from the mouth and nose area, Juvederm Voluma™ XC adds volume to the cheek. The result is a subtle lift around the cheek area. Juvederm Voluma™ XC is the first and only FDA-approved filler to do so.
