"Dear Dr. Robben, Linda et al, I have recovered very nicely from my laser treatment. I just wanted to send you a note and thank you again for your time and care in June and over the years. It is a little embarrassing to want to look better, but you make me feel positive about it. With my 60th birthday this Tuesday, I feel good."
"I have been coming to this location for 9 years now. As my hormones changed and my hair growth increased, it was treated with the utmost care and attention. I actually commute 2.5hours this location as I moved since I started my treatment, bc that's how much I trust Mind Your Skin. Very effective results. Highly recommend!!"- SJ, Google Reviews, Summer 2018

Facial and hand fillers for the Havertown, Main Line, PA, Delaware Valley, and greater Philadelphia Area
Dermal Fillers & Injectibles Philadelphia: Mind Your Skin draws from multiple communities (Havertown, Broomall, West Chester, Media, and Springfield; the Main Line towns of Bryn Mawr, Ardmore, Wynnewood and Narberth).
Wrinkles and folds are among the most obvious signs of aging. A multitude of reasons cause these unwanted lines to form on the face and elsewhere. The loss of collagen and other vital skin elements is a primary cause as time goes by. Mind Your Skin offers dermal fillers for Philadelphia and Havertown-area patients who want to address this gradual depletion. Norbertus Robben, MD restores a youthful smoothness, structure, and contour to the skin. He adds the filler where it is best deployed. Treatment sessions last a mere 20 to 30 minutes, but can yield results that last all the way up to 18 months, depending on the area and the filler used.
We carry two families of hyaluronic dermal fillers—Juvéderm® and Restylane®—each with multiple sub-formulas for specific treatment areas and results. We also offer Radiesse® for heavier folds and contouring. Dr. Robben brings years of experience and skill to each injection session, working to administer the ideal version and amount of dermal fillers in the targeted area to produce beautiful and natural-looking results.

First, it is important to understand that youthful skin gets its texture and resilience mainly from three molecules. These are collagen, fat, hyaluronic acid, and elastin. Collagen is what gives skin its strength, structure, and flexibility. Hyaluronic acid fills that collagen-built structure with moisture as it binds to water molecules. Elastin ensures that skin pulled out of shape will not stay stretched out, but will return to its resting state.
Young people have these three molecules in abundance in their skin. But ultraviolet solar radiation, environmental damage, and age-related degradation cause their levels to drop throughout a person’s 20s, 30s, and beyond. Without sufficient amounts of these vital elements, skin loses volume and grows lax, leading to wrinkles and sagging. In addition, underlying fat pads shrink and even the bony skeleton changes shape. Because of all of this, there is generally a deepening, downward turning, and descent of important features.
Purposeful use of the various Dermal Fillers & Injectibles
Collagen and hyaluronic acid and fat loss typically lead to the formation of:
nasolabial folds from the nose to mouth
“parentheses” that frame the mouth even on relatively young faces
downturns and marionette lines between the mouth and chin
teartroughs
earlobe creases
prejowl fold
flat cheeks
cheek crease; chin crease
shallow temples
vein/tendon showing on hands
Dermal fillers counter that loss by replenishing water content and/or volume. Mind Your Skin’s dermal fillers are gels of hyaluronic acid, with the formulas made especially to bring more youthful levels of hydration back into the skin. Radiesse®, which has a calcium-based formula, is available as well.

Juvéderm has a new look!
OVERVIEW
Juvéderm® XC (Extra Comfort) Dermal Fillers
Juvederm® XC reduces the appearance of these lines. The latest addition to this family is Vollure®.
Juvéderm Vollure® XC
Due to its ability to stretch and recoil with normal expression movement in the area, this dermal filler excels at addressing nasolabial folds. In addition, Juvéderm Vollure® XC has a formulation that lasts longer than most hyaluronic acid fillers in the skin.
JUVÉDERM® VOLLURE™ XC injectable gel is indicated for injection into the mid-to-deep dermis for correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds (such as nasolabial folds) in adults over the age of 21.
Juvéderm® Ultra/UltraPlus XC
You may have had thin lips since birth. Ordinarily, a gradual reduction in volume happens over time as collagen breaks down faster than it is replaced. Patients who want a fuller, plumper look can choose the Ultra version of this dermal filler to add noticeable volume to their smile; UltraPlus is more resilient and better deployed at downturns, marionette’s lines and areas of volume loss.
JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC and JUVÉDERM® UltraPlus XC injectable gels are indicated for injection into the mid-to-deep dermis for correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds (such as nasolabial folds).
Juvéderm Volbella® XC
Sometimes lips need a more subtle boost, as opposed to an obvious increase in fullness. This dermal filler provides just that! Juvederm Volbella® XC reduces the severity of vertical lip (“smoker’s”) lines as well, and also other lines on the face that are of an ‘etched-in’ nature.
JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA™ XC injectable gel is indicated for injection into the lips for lip augmentation and for correction of perioral rhytids in adults over the age of 21.
Juvéderm Voluma® XC
Unique among the Juvederm® family of dermal fillers, Voluma®focuses on midfacial contours. Volume—and thereby roundness—to the “apple” of the cheek, corrects for loss of collagen and fat that can lead to a flat or hollow look. Since volume loss in the midface also causes sagging, this filler can serve to provide a “liquid facial lift”. Vycross® crosslinking technology extends the longevity of this filler’s results (after full correction) up to 18 months.
JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA™ XC injectable gel is indicated for deep (subcutaneous and/or supraperiosteal) injection for cheek augmentation to correct age-related volume deficit in the mid-face in adults over the age of 21.
This family includes the original Restylane®to reduce the appearance of general facial wrinkles and folds or to address teartroughs/under eye bags. Refyne™ takes on a moderate laugh and smile lines, while Defyne™ addresses deep laugh and smile lines. Silk™ and Kysse™ add volume to the lips and treats wrinkles in the area around the mouth. Finally Lyft® contours the midface and fills heavier wrinkles and folds. It is deployed to rejuvenate the back of the hands.
Revanesse® VersaTM is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler. It treats moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, including nasolabial folds.
Radiesse® Dermal Filler
This filler is useful to reduce the appearance of deeper facial wrinkles and folds. It is well suited for facial contouring and addresses volume or bony deficits. Radiesse® is also adds volume to the backside of the hands. There it creates a more youthful look pushing back against an excessively crêpey and or veiny appearance.
Get to know a physician committed to using his international medical experience, modern technology, and recognized aesthetic sensibility and eye for detail to help his patients look and feel their best—safely and naturally.
To begin with, Dr. Robben leads a complimentary consultation so patients can explain the cosmetic issues they want to be addressed. He then works with him to decide on the ideal treatment strategy. The actual injection session can be as brief as 10 to 15 minutes. Specifics depend on the dermal fillers being used and which area(s) of the face is/are treated.
There is a slight pinching sensation from the tiny needle when a dermal filler is administered. Subsequently, this can at times be followed by swelling, redness, discomfort, or bruising—all expected to be minimal. Afterward, any such side effects should fade within days, if not hours after a session.
How Long Do Dermal Fillers Results Last?
Generally, the volume-adding nature of dermal fillers causes results to be visible right away. Full integration though takes a week or two, as the hydrating benefits of hyaluronic acid take hold.
Dermal fillers gradually dissipate over time. Some last six months or so, and others up to 18, before re-treatment becomes needed. Mind Your Skin offers a long-term Maintenance Program. This especially suits patients who want to ensure their youthful look lasts as long as they want it to.
Fillers have different characteristics. Hence no single answer is apropos as to how long dermal fillers are going to last.
Dr. Robben makes a wide range of cosmetic treatments available at Mind Your Skin so consequently there can be a solution uniquely suited for each patient. The Practice is conveniently situated off of I-476 within minutes of multiple Main Line and Delaware Valley communities. Women and men with signs of aging due to facial muscle activity require a different injectable, known as a neuromodulator. The most popular is BOTOX®, with Dysport®, Jeuveau, and Xeomin® as available alternatives to relax wrinkle-revealing muscles.
In short Dr. Robben’s mission is to truly hear each patient’s aesthetic goals and match him or her to an ideal treatment strategy that fits within their budget.
