A bit of collagen loss over time is only natural. However, experiencing dramatic facial volume loss is a clear example of things getting out of hand. The good news is that restoring lost volume and regaining that youthful look is entirely possible with the help of dermal fillers such as Juvéderm and Restylane. At Turner Medical Arts Dr. Pontius believes that minor adjustments can go a long way in improving one’s look. That is why we’re thrilled to offer our full range of Juvéderm and Restylane fillers to our wonderful Santa Barbara clientele.

Juvéderm and Restylane Injections
Juvéderm and Restylane fillers are gel-based formulas that use hyaluronic acid to increase facial volume and diminish wrinkles. These fillers can be easily injected into the face, providing dramatic improvements in facial plumpness without downtime. Typically, injections are made around the mouth area to plump lips, add cheek volume, and smooth fine lines. At Turner Medical Arts, Dr. Pontius provides a range of different fillers to give each of your concerns the precise attention they deserve.
Dr. Pontius provides the following facial fillers:
- JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC – For lips and vertical lines surrounding lips.
- JUVÉDERM VOLLURE™ – For parentheses lines.
- JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC – For the cheek area.
- JUVÉDERM® ULTRA XC – For lips, deep wrinkles, nasolabial folds, and hollowed cheeks.
- Restylane® and Restylane-L® are for mid-to-deep injection into the facial tissue for the correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds. Restylane® and Restylane-L® are also indicated for injection into the lips.
- Restylane® Lyft with lidocaine is for deep implantation into the facial tissue for the correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds, cheek augmentation, and the correction of age-related midface contour deficiencies. Restylane® Lyft with Lidocaine is also indicated for injection into the dorsal hand to correct volume loss.
- Restylane® Kysse is for lip augmentation and correction of upper perioral wrinkles.
- Restylane® Refyne is for mid-to-deep injection into the facial tissue for the correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds.

Restylane® Defyne is also indicated for injection into the mid-to-deep dermis (subcutaneous and/or subperiosteal) for augmentation of the chin region to improve the chin profile in patients with mild to moderate chin retrusion.
- Restylane® Contour is for cheek augmentation and for the correction of midface contour deficiencies.
Dermal Filler Results
Following your treatment, results can be seen right away. You will notice an increase in the tightness, smoothness, and radiance of your skin.* Optimal results following your injection can take effect after a couple of weeks.* Long-term results generally last between 6-18 months depending on your treatment selection and concern.* Please note that while there is no downtime following the procedure, some injection-site redness, swelling, tenderness, discoloration, and itching may occur.
Dermal Filler Procedure
Most dermal fillers feature a lidocaine additive along with hyaluronic acid. This added anesthetic alleviates any discomfort you feel during the injection session. Standard treatment times take anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour. This range includes your comprehensive consultation and the actual injection procedure itself. The best part of these injections is that they can provide understated, natural-looking results without downtime.
