    CHICAGO, IL, November 22, 2008 /24-7PressRelease/ -- To look your best in this busy holiday season that is fast approaching, you might want to schedule yourself for a two-for-one dermal filler treatment. At the Chicago plastic surgery office of Otto Placik, M.D., there are offers of half-off for two different fillers.

Injectable fillers are a quick and easy way to refresh your face and smooth out wrinkles. If you are trying on some new holiday sweaters or jewelry and find yourself scowling into the mirror at signs of facial aging, this is a great opportunity to deal with the situation easily.

Schedule your appointment now, write it in your calendar, and then get on with living and the holiday preparations. When you come for your treatment, no more than a half hour or so will be needed and your results will be immediate.

How Do These Injectables Work?
All injectable fillers are placed carefully in the skin's second layer, the dermis. This is the layer which supports the skin surface, and as we age it starts to lose some of its collagen and elastin. Collagen is a fibrous protein which intertwines in the dermis with elastin, another fibrous protein, to form a supportive matrix. As the body produces less collagen, the matrix forms little gaps and weakens, causing the skin's top layer to subside and look wrinkled.

There are other causes of wrinkles too - the force of gravity, sun damage, poor skin care - but reduced collagen is a large contributing cause.

• Evolence is made from collagen. The body accepts it as a familiar substance and no allergy testing is necessary. It blends in with your natural collagen to add support for the skin, filling out wrinkles and fine lines and giving you a rested, youthful look. Evolence causes virtually no bruising or swelling and your rejuvenating results will last for at least six months. Then you can have your free second treatment for a full year's rejuvenation.

• Radiesse is a synthetic filler, thoroughly tested and FDA-approved and needing no allergy testing. It stimulates your skin to produce more of its own collagen. It is a gel containing tiny calcium-based microspheres and when these are injected into the deep dermis, the skin responds by forming a collagen membrane around each of them.

They are inorganic and remain in the dermis along with the new collagen, giving support to the skin. Gradually the body absorbs these microspheres, but now the body's own collagen is in position to continue the support job. Results are immediate and may last longer than a year. Then your free second treatment can carry you through a second year.
