| With the wide range of injectables available to the consumer, it is important to be familiar with the options. Different fillers are generally used for different applications and have varying degrees of effectiveness and longevity. For example, while Sculptra may last up to two years, it may not be as appropriate for a certain area of the face than another product, say Restylane, might. Ultimately your doctor will let you know how to best achieve your cosmetic goals based on the area you wish to treat and the severity of the wrinkling or volume loss. *Not all providers will carry every product in this chart. Call your local office to find out which fillers they offer. | | What it Treats | Substance | Length of Effectivenes | Area it Treats | | Botox | Dynamic Facial Wrinkles, Hyperhidrosis | Purified Botulinum Toxin
