Dr. Graf Talks Injectable Fillers
Posted on March 12, 2009
Dermatologist Jeanette Graf talks with Maggie Rodriguez on The Early Show about injectable fillers. Dr. Graf explains about using fillers to plump up aging hands, for getting rid of the naso-labial lines that run from the nose to the mouth (she uses Evolence for those line) and how some fillers even make cellulite disappear temporarily (she uses Restalyne) for a couple of months during bikini season. Take a look:
Update: Dr. Graf returned to CBS News again in September to talk about a new injectable filler called Sculptra, which was recently approved by the FDA and is billed as "the liquid facelift."
Dr. Graf told The Early Show, "There are some really fantastic fillers on the market. One is Restylane. This is brand new. It's called Sculptra. It's just been approved for use. What is so unique about it is that it builds facial volume. As you can see in this before picture in the mid-cheek area and the after picture. What's great about this is it works gradually. When you inject it, it's [a] synthetic injectable and quite safe. No allergy. It works gradually."
