Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring substance in your body that helps keep your skin hydrated and plump. As we age, the production of HA slows down, leading to volume loss, wrinkles, and fine lines. HA fillers closely mimic the body’s natural HA, providing immediate results by adding volume and lift to the skin. Most HA fillers contain lidocaine to minimize pain during the injection process.
Depending on your desired outcome, your doctor may use HA-based fillers to:
The results from HA fillers can last between six months to two years, depending on the treated area and the specific filler used.
Popular and trusted HA-based fillers include Belotero®, Juvederm®, and Restylane®. These brands are approved by Health Canada and offer natural-looking results when administered by an experienced doctor.
Collagen-stimulating fillers promote the natural production of collagen, which diminishes with age. These fillers effectively treat lines, wrinkles, and volume loss in the mid to lower face, providing an immediate and refreshed appearance. Radiesse® is the only approved collagen-stimulating filler in Canada.
Collagen-stimulating fillers can enhance your appearance by providing a subtle, natural lift in areas such as:
Results from collagen-stimulating fillers typically last 12 to 18 months, with continued collagen production providing ongoing, natural-looking improvements.
During your consultation, your doctor will assess your facial anatomy to determine the best treatment approach and explain any potential side effects. An experienced doctor understands how the underlying structures of the face contribute to aging and will recommend techniques to restore a youthful, natural appearance. A continuous treatment plan may be suggested to address different areas over time for optimal results.
To prepare for your appointment, avoid sun exposure and use sunscreen with at least SPF 30. Your doctor may advise pausing anti-aging creams and serums, like Retinol, a few days before treatment. Avoid blood-thinning medications such as aspirin, Motrin, ibuprofen, and Aleve on the day of your appointment. Your doctor will provide personalized instructions based on your unique needs during your consultation.
Facial fillers can do more than just combat signs of aging. They can:
Fillers help restore volume loss due to aging, which can make the face appear sunken or loose. This restoration results in a more defined and youthful appearance, addressing concerns that make one look older, sad, angry, tired, or saggy.
If you are looking to rejuvenate your skin, sculpt your jawline, or enhance your lips with subtle, natural changes, you are likely a good candidate for facial fillers. The best way to determine your suitability is to have a consultation with your doctor and develop a personalized treatment plan to achieve your aesthetic goals.
Your treatment plan will be carefully tailored to your individuality, personal goals, and budget. Our goal is to achieve natural-looking results. Fillers are administered with a small needle or cannula, with minimal risk of bruising, swelling, or tenderness. Most clients find the treatments tolerable, and we employ techniques such as numbing cream, freezing, icing, or a vibrating device to minimize discomfort.
