About this Treatment
Merz Dermal Fillers
Merz’s injectable formulas can help enhance the appearance and reduce the signs of aging of your face and/or hands. Our expert and certified injectors have the tools and knowledge to refresh your appearance and help turn back the clock with the formulas created by Merz.
Depending on your ideal facial anatomy, Merz injectables are capable of reducing deep folds and wrinkles in the face and restoring volume lost with aging, and improving a more naturally youthful appearance.
What it is
Merz creates many unique formulas of distinct active ingredients for comprehensive wrinkle reduction and contour enhancement throughout the face for non-surgical rejuvenation. These products are specially formulated for specific uses and facial areas, meaning the injectors at EVOLV have a wide range of options for injectable treatments to help you get the personalized facial rejuvenation treatment you deserve. Merz produces both hyaluronic acid dermal fillers as well as calcium hydroxylapatite (Radiesse) injectable formulas for a broad range of benefits.
The two products we offer by Merz are Belotero and Radiesse. Both formulas are FDA approved for appropriate patients who are over the age of 22.

- Safety and Experience Our highly trained providers use only FDA-approved dermal filler formulas and are fully aware of the depth and amount of filler needed for each individual’s personalized results.
Radiesse and Belotero
Merz fillers use both natural hyaluronic acid (Belotero) as well as calcium hydroxylapatite as active ingredients. Hyaluronic acid can be formulated in different ways to create different viscosities of the gel. Hyaluronic acid is naturally found and created in the body, although as we age, we produce less and less of it. It’s a compound that keeps the skin hydrated and, by extension, smooth and full. Without it, wrinkles begin to form and volume loss takes place. By injecting the skin with more hyaluronic acid, you gain a little bit of volume in a highly specific place to help physically smooth out the appearance of wrinkles and volume loss.
Calcium hydroxylapatite, (Radiesse) on the other hand, is used when the goal is restoring deeper tissue volume. Radiesse is ideal for tissue elevation and contour improvement and also can be diluted for rejuvenating skin and more superficial signs of aging.
Results and Recovery
Your results and a more youthful appearance can be seen immediately but will continue to improve over several days as swelling and tissue reaction diminishes. Although occasional redness and bruising are seen, it can be covered with camouflage makeup 24 hours post-treatment. A professional skincare plan and healthy lifestyle choices can also significantly improve the quality and longevity of your results.
