Dermal Fillers in Chicago: Restylane, Juvederm, Cosmoderm, Cosmoplast
Dermal fillers are effective in reducing lines by creating volume and contouring facial folds in order to restore a more youthful appearance. The dermal filler procedures offered by the Midwest Center for Sight include:
- Restylane
- Juvederm
- COSMODERM
- COSMOPLAST
Restylane and Juvederm
Restylane and Juvederm are dermal fillers made of hyaluronic acid (HA) a natural complex sugar found in all living cells. It's also one of the major components of the dermis connective tissue, along with collagen and elastin. HA retains water like a sponge, absorbing more than 1000 times its weight. This helps to hydrate your skin increasing its volume and density. Both Restylane and Juvederm are non-animal based and can achieve the same results.
COSMODERM and COSMOPLAST
COSMODERM and COSMOPLAST are dermal fillers made from natural human collagen. They replenish your skin's lost collagen, restoring skin structure and provide immediate results with no downtime. Treatment results last up to 6 months.
Both COSMODERM and COSMOPLAST are injected just below the surface of the skin filling in unwanted lines and wrinkles and adding definition. Treatment usually takes about 30 minutes. Both have been formulated with an anesthetic for your comfort.
Safe and effective
All of these procedures are safe and effective in the hands of a highly trained medical professional like Dr. Jeffrey Mono. The side effects for each product vary but are minor.

Additionally, Dr. Mono will recommend the best timing for a follow-up treatment as the length of results will vary by treatment and by each individual. Typically these treatments last about 6 months.
