Evolence is an injectable dermal filler used to treat moderate to deep wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds. As a collagen-based dermal filler, the key ingredient in Evolence is more closely matched to the body’s natural collagen, which is believed to be one of the reasons this dermal filler generally does not cause the bruising and swelling often associated with other fillers, such as those containing hyaluronic acid.
An Evolence treatment session generally takes between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on the number of injections required to achieve the desired results, and is performed in your provider’s office. There is no required pre-test for this procedure; therefore a single visit is all that is needed. Preparation for treatment involves removing makeup and applying a numbing cream of local anesthetic to ease discomfort at the injection sites, followed by a trained practitioner injecting the filler into target areas. Results are immediate and most patients are able to return to work or other daily activities directly after their appointment. Some bruising, redness, swelling or pain may occur at or around the injection sites, which generally subsides quickly.
The cost of an Evolence session depends on your geographical location, individual provider fees and the number of injections required, with an average cost around $500 per syringe. Evolence has been shown to last up to 12 months or longer, which makes this a more cost-effective procedure for many patients. Medical insurance generally does not cover cosmetic procedures that are not seen as medically necessary; however, patient financing options are typically available and can be discussed with your Evolence provider.
Consult with a cosmetic dermatologist or medspa providing Evolence in your area to confirm the cost of treatment and to learn more about Evolence as compared to other available options. Consulting with an Evolence provider near you is the best way to determine if this collagen-based dermal filler is the right cosmetic treatment for you.
About Body Oasis Laser - Vein SpecialtiesBody Oasis Laser Cosmetic Solutions was founded in January of 2005 to expand upon her laser expertise by providing laser hair and tattoo removal and Active FX laser resurfacing for acne scars and photodamaged skin. In addition, Body Oasis offers a full line of spa treatments including massage and nail care, with a vision toward proper nutrition and care of the skin.
From the outset, the Southwest Skin & Cancer Institute has strived to provide the utmost in quality dermatology care to residents of the Tri-City Area in Northern Arizona. The Institute has treated over 5000 patients since its inception. In addition, Dr. Fleck has participated in double-blind scientific studies of acne drug evaluations, has written articles for trade and scientific journals, has implemented a widely-acclaimed program of inexpensive treatments for nursing home residents, and a non-profit foundation to assist young people to afford laser therapy for their skin problems. She also volunteers her time at many community health fairs and is a frequent lecturer at service organizations, local colleges and hospitals.
The origin of Body Oasis began with a vision of educating clients about the science of proper skin care. Instead of instinctively following the cosmetic industry, clients are now enlightened about the function of the stratum corneum as a protective barrier to ultraviolet light and environmental free radicals. They are taught to nurture this layer with multivitamin treatments rather than to remove it with harsh abrasive or exfoliative methods. Patients are ecstatic with the results ... in just a few weeks, they witness the changes in their own skin after years of neglect.
In early 2007, Dr. Fleck, after extensive training, began to treat varicose veins using an endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) technique. This procedure, unlike the former treatment of vein stripping and ligation, has reduced morbidity and downtime and has allowed many patients to experience relief of daily pain and get back to enjoying life. After performing over 1000 vein procedures, Dr. Fleck is the most experienced practitioner of EVLA in Northern Arizona. Implementation of this procedure has led to demand for Dr. Fleck to develop a full-service vein clinic, Vein Specialties, which opened in July of 2008. Services also include a highly-effective European technique for treatment of spider veins.
Southwest Skin & Cancer Institute, Vein Specialties, and Body Oasis Laser Cosmetic Solutions strive to use the ultimate in scientific knowledge to focus on the treatment of skin problems and the aging process. As a scientist with board certification in two specialties, Dr. Fleck is well equipped to sort out the industry hype from the important data that can change the way you look and feel.
