Facial Fillers
What is it?
Facial fillers are another enormously popular alternative to nonsurgical facial rejuvenation. They are made up of a natural occurring substance already present in your skin, and typically last six to twelve months. They work by safely restoring lost volume under the skin. Juvéderm is the most popular brand of facial fillers in Canada and North America. It is a smooth, replenishing injectable gel filler that is used to refresh your appearance by smoothing away unwanted lines and bringing back the natural contours of your face. Juvéderm treatments provide an instant cosmetic enhancement that gives you a refreshed look. It smoothes facial wrinkles and restores volume — reversing the signs of aging. It can also be used to enhance facial features such as your lips and cheeks, adding fullness and definition with a natural look. The exclusive formulation of Juvéderm uses hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally-occurring sugar found in your body. It combines with the water in your skin to instantly smooth lines and wrinkles, enhance lips, and restore lost volume to the cheeks and jaw-line. In fact, hyaluronic acid facial fillers can even naturally stimulate collagen production in your skin. Juvéderm achieves facial rejuvenation by replacing hyaluronic acid lost over time, smoothing lines, restoring lost skin volume, and keeping your skin hydrated. Best of all, the results are instantaneous, look natural, and last up to a year with no downtime. Skin rejuvenation treatments with Juvéderm are quick, simple, comfortable, and non-surgical. The procedure will have you looking and feeling instantly refreshed. The treatment involves subtle and strategically placed Juvéderm injections under the skin to restore and boost individual facial features. Facial fillers are sometimes employed alone but can be combined with Botox cosmetic to obtain the desired results. What areas can I treat?

Depending on what you want to accomplish, this simple treatment can be used for many different purposes. It can be used as a wrinkle filler, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and creases. It can also be used to restore volume in the cheeks and chin area and to enhance features such as lips and cheeks. How long to see results? After a Juvéderm treatment, you should see an immediate improvement. Results may vary from one person to another and correction is temporary. Usually a single treatment can give you the look you want, but supplemental "touch-up" treatments may be required to maintain optimal results. How long will it last? Juvéderm is clinically proven to last up to one year, however individual results may vary. Is it painful? Discomfort is usually minimal and brief. Prior to injection, you may choose to numb the area with a cold pack or anesthetic cream. The entire procedure takes approximately 15-60 minutes. Most patients are in and out of the physician’s office without downtime. Are there any side effect? Juvéderm is generally well tolerated. Reported side effects in clinical trials were mild to moderate in nature and lasted 7 days or less. The most common side effects included, but are not limited to, temporary injection site reactions such as redness, pain/tenderness, firmness, swelling, lumps/bumps, bruising, itching, and discolouration. As with all skin injection procedures (including collagen injections), there is a risk of infection. What is the treatment process? The treatment process is simple.
