The team of Smooth Solutions Medical Aesthetics serve patients in the area of Williamsville, NY to provide a wide selection of cosmetic treatments for the skin and body. Additionally, they provide a range of minimally invasive products that are designed to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles associated with the early signs of aging. Dermal fillers are a popular choice for patients who are not  proper candidates for plastic surgery but want to smooth away unsightly lines and wrinkles that contribute to an aged appearance. These injectables continue to be a wonderful option for both men and women with skin laxity. 

What is a dermal filler? 

Our doctors describe dermal fillers as gel injectables that directly fill wrinkles and folds of the face that make patients look older than they truly feel. These fillers are often formulated with an ingredient called HA, or hyaluronic acid. This element attracts water molecules in the skin, adding volume directly where it is needed. In doing this, the skin is smoothed and many lines are erased. 

How long do dermal fillers last? 

Many patients find that their dermal fillers will last several months before they need to return to the practice for reinjection. This allows them to delay the need for invasive plastic surgery, which isn’t always recommended for patients with mild signs of aging. Dermal fillers are a wonderful alternative that can offer patients a way to look younger, longer, without the need for surgical interventions that can leave behind scarring and become incredibly expensive.

At Smooth Solutions Medical Aesthetics, we are proud to offer the following hyaluronic acid fillers: 

•         Restylane (Silk and Lyft)

No matter how slim you are or how much you workout, you may still have cellulite that makes you feel self-conscious about the skin that you are in. Rather than covering up your dimpled thighs all spring break, let Dr. Jack Bertolino help you fight off your cellulite. But how?

What’s Renuva?

You’ve likely heard of dermal fillers for your face or maybe you’ve even tried them yourself before, but did you know that there are fillers that are for things like cellulite as well? Renuva is a new FDA approved filler that uses cadaver fat which is then injected into your skin to help smooth out cellulite dimples which give you that model worthy skin.

Why Renuva?

The trickiest part about cellulite is that it’s virtually impossible to get rid of. No matter how much weight you lose, or how much you exercise you get, your cellulite likely won’t go away. Renuva can help you almost instantly get rid of your cellulite so that you can fit into a swimsuit and feel more confident than ever before.

What Makes Renuva Unique?

Even though other dermal fillers are really good at helping patients get rid of fine lines and wrinkles, they can’t necessarily be used to help get rid of dimpling skin. Renuva, however, cannot only do what traditional fillers can but it’s also ideal for filling in dimpled skin. Additionally, another unique benefit of Renuva is that it tends to last a little bit longer than other types of dermal fillers.

If you are interested in learning a little bit more about Renuva and how it can help you get smoother skin, then contact us at our Williamsville office and call us at (716) 633-6100.

When it comes to aging, one of the real complaints that most people have is with their appearance. And although it’s impossible to stop the aging process, it’s definitely possible to slow it down— especially with dermal fillers from Dr. Jack Bertolino. If you have a friend or family member that you just aren’t sure what to gift them with this year, why not give them the fountain of youth? With dermal fillers, you can help to temporarily give them that more youthful complexion they’ve been wanting. Let’s take a closer look at how.

How They Work

Fillers work to add volume to the skin and fill in fine lines and wrinkles— which in turn acts as a semi-fountain of youth. There are three main categories of dermal fillers that Dr. Jack Bertolino likes to use: 1) Hyaluronic acid fillers, 2) calcium based fillers, and 3) Poly-L-Lactic acid fillers. Depending on your friend’s area of concern and the type of wrinkles they have, will help Dr. Jack Bertolino decide what filler will be best for them. By strategically placing them in their skin, Dr. Jack Bertolino can help to temporarily give your loved ones a more youthful looking appearance.

Give a Gift Card

Unlike other gifts that you can wrap and place under the Christmas tree, giving the gift of dermal fillers is a bit different. Because every new patient who gets fillers from Der. Jack Bertolino requires a consultation appointment, the best thing that you can do is either come with your friend to our office or give them a gift card to use on their own time.

Nothing will put quite as big of a smile on your loved ones’ face— and get rid of those smile lines in the process— quite like giving them the fountain of youth. If you would like to learn more about how you can gift dermal fillers this season, contact our Williamsville office today!

When it comes to restoring your youthful complexion back to what it looked like in your teens, twenties, and even thirties, you have several options. As one of the most popular options, a facelift is a surgical procedure that is used to physically lift the skin on your face and tighten it— getting rid of fine lines and wrinkles in the process. And although a facelift gives patients phenomenal results, it’s a relatively invasive surgery that requires a lot of recovery time. If you want the results of a facelift without having to go under the knife, you may want to consider getting a 4-Minute Facelift from Dr. Jack Bertolino. Sound too good to be true? Read on to learn more.

What Is a 4-Minute Facelift

When was the last time you got anything done in 4 minutes? Folding the laundry? That at least takes 10. Loading the dishwasher with kids around? That can last all day. But getting a facelift in 4-minutes? That just sounds impossible. However, as crazy as it sounds, Dr. Jack Bertolino at Smooth Skin Solutions can make this dream a reality. By using the new CooLifting Gun, the 4-minute facial administers CO2 at very cold temperatures to instill hyaluronic acid into the skin. Lasting only 4 minutes, this facial is painless and will give patients real results in just a few treatment sessions.

How Does It Work?

Popular facial fillers like Juvederm and Restylane are made of a natural compound found in our skin: hyaluronic acid. By plumping up the skin and filling in fine lines and wrinkles, hyaluronic acid can transform your skin almost instantly. With the 4-minute facial, hyaluronic acid is administered to your skin by using CO2— filling in your fine lines and wrinkles almost immediately.

Aging is a real beast— especially when it comes to your skin. Luckily, with the 4-minute facial from Dr. Jack Bertolino, you can get rid of your fine lines and wrinkles and make your skin look more youthful in no time. To learn more about this treatment or to schedule an appointment, contact Dr. Bertolino today.
