Dermal Fillers Toronto – Realistic Expectations

Dermal Fillers Toronto - Realistic Expectations

Often times, patients will come in saying they want their lips to look like Angelina Jolie or to have cheeks like Natalie Portman. Wish photos can be inspiring, but a patient should have realistic expectations.
If it’s your first time getting dermal fillers, remember that your facial features may not be the same as the celebrity you wish to emulate. Some celebrities have had of plastic surgery, dermal fillers, or other treatments.
Before and after photos of celebrities may also be misleading as Photoshop and other software has been made so easily available.
Wish pictures can be helpful by giving your practitioner a general idea of how much dermal filler you would like to have and where you need have it placed.
Whether you want dermal fillers for cheeks, lips, jawline, or injectable rhinoplasty, the possibilities are endless. It’s best to remember that dermal fillers and Botox are only temporary and can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years.
Dermal fillers can easily be adjusted by adding more, or removing some with hyaluronidase.

Botox Toronto – How Far Has It Progressed?

by

Botox Toronto How Far Has It Progressed

Botox has been the number 1 treatment to turn back the clock on frowns and wrinkles.
Botox works by temporarily immobilizing muscle activity. It does this by blocking nerve-muscle communication, which makes the injected muscles unable to contract.
Paralyzing muscle activity is how Botox can steady a straying gaze, eliminate an eyelid spasm or stop signaling nerves that stimulate sweat in a person’s armpit.
Allergan’s history dates back to 1991 when Allergan bought Occulinum; which was then a treatment for patients with wandering or cross eyes, and named it Botox.
In 2002 Botox earned FDA approval for frown lines (vertical wrinkles between the eyebrows). This was the first time a pharmaceutical drug was given approval for strictly cosmetic purposes.
In 2004 Botox was approved for axillary hyperhidrosis (chronic sweating).
Allergan then got its next approval for chronic migraines in 2010, and in 2013 Botox received FDA approval for crow’s feet.
With each passing year, researchers develop more indications of this versatile agent, and continue to find more uses for it.

Lip Injections Toronto – Can Fuller Lips Make You Look Younger?

Lip Injections Toronto

Fuller lips can most definitely make you look younger!

Some say that fuller lips from lip injections can make you look “fake” or too “pouty”, but it’s key to remember one thing; Studies have shown that women who have fuller and firmer lips are seen as younger than they really are.
As we age we start to notice loss of volume, skin laxity, and bone loss. This can affect many areas such as your forehead, temples, cheeks, nasal folds, under eyes and even your lips.

Lips get their beautiful shape partly from collagen production. As we age, the amount of collagen produced slows down, resulting in loss of shape and fullness. Lips can also lose their volume and shape due to genetics, sun damage, and smoking.
Lip fillers can give you back youthful full lips. Juvederm and Teosyal are lip fillers containing Hylauronic Acid that can re-shape, add volume, address fine lines, and enhance the cupid’s bow.
Juvederm and Teosyal lip fillers are temporary and can last anywhere between 6 months to 2 years.

Lip Fillers Toronto- After They Break Down

by

Lip Fillers Toronto After They Break DownLip fillers such a Juvederm, Teosyal and Restylane are only temporary dermal fillers, lasting anywhere from 6 months to 2 years.

Once lip fillers break down, the body will naturally and easily metabolize the lip filler  and lips  will gradually return to their original shape.

The breakdown of lip injections will not happen overnight since lip fillers can stimulate the production of the body’s own collagen which can lengthen the longevity of lip fillers.

If you’ve been getting lip fillers for years and have decided to take a break, be aware that although your lips will return to their original shape, the aging process will still continue to take place.
