Looking natural and youthful is what we all strive for.
As we age our facial muscles naturally weaken and become flatter, which leads to request Botox and Fillers to reverse the signs of aging.
Some striving for youth and beauty, have gone too far when it comes to Botox and Fillers. This can leave their face looking plastic and unnatural.
These results should not be a reflection of the beautiful natural results that practitioners strive for when it comes to Botox and Filler Injections.
Having too much of anything is never a good thing.
Botox works by blocking the signals from nerves to the muscle, which stops the muscle from contracting. This process allows wrinkles to soften and relax. A few patients that receive Botox injections want zero to no movement in their foreheads. These few that insist on excessive Botox injections can then resemble some celebrities that look completely frozen, with little to no facial expressions.
Over injecting Dermal Fillers will also produce an unnatural result. For example over injecting Dermal Filler into the cheeks and other areas can leave a patient looking very bloated, and the skin looking plastic. When too much Filler is injected, it stretches and weighs down the skin.
When Botox and Fillers are injected properly, patients will leave looking refreshed and renewed, and never overdone.
At Lasting Looks Clinic in Toronto our goal is to make patients feel more confident and youthful without looking unnatural or plastic.

Lip Filler Toronto-How Long Between Lip injections?
You’ve had your first lip injection treatment 3 months ago and now you would like more.
Most patients after seeing the initial results of a lip injection are eager to know when they can have more lip filler.
How long should a patient wait before they have more lip injections?
If the patient requires more volume, touch ups can be done after 2 weeks.
If no touch-up is needed, patients who have had lip injections should wait 4 to 6 months before having their lips re-injected.
How long Lip Fillers will last varies from patient to patient, as it depends on a patient’s metabolism and how fast the body breaks down the Lip Filler.
Different Lip Fillers will dissolve quicker than others. Lip injections generally breakdown more than other areas such as to the nasolabial folds or cheeks.
Lip fillers such as Juvederm or Teosyal are comprised of Hyaluronic acid which is naturally produced in the body. Lip Fillers that contain Hyaluronic acid prompt the skin to produce more collagen, which creates a more natural plumpness to the lips.
Some patients may experience mild bruising or swelling but this will subside over a few days following treatment.
Patients are able to see partial results immediately after lip injections but final results take up to two weeks. Allow enough time between lip injections treatments so you can see the full results and decide if you need more.

What is a Soft Lift? A Soft lift is a when a practitioner uses a combination of both Botox and Dermal Fillers in appropriate areas to restore a patient to a more natural youthful appearance!
The powerful duo of Botox and Dermal Filler is used to address loss volume and wrinkles.
A Soft Lift is performed in two stages; the first stage being Dermal Filler.
At Lasting Looks Clinic in Toronto our experts use Facial Fillers like Juvederm and Teosyal to achieve a Soft Lift. These Facial Fillers are hyaluronic based and are used to enhance, shape and add volume to areas of the face.
A practitioner’s goal when using Dermal Fillers to perform a Soft Lift is to restore balance to a patient’s facial features. During a Soft Lift fine lines are gently smoothed out in and around the lips, areas such as the nasal folds area are softly filled in and volume is restored to cheeks.
These Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Filler injections also been shown to stimulate collagen production.
The second step of a Soft Lift is Botox.
Botox works to weaken the muscles in the forehead, frowns and around the eye area eliminating crow’s feet, bunny lines and other wrinkles. This final step of the Soft Lift gives a patient a more relaxed and rested appearance.
A Soft lift is an excellent technique to reversing signs of aging and giving a patient a beautiful refreshed youth appearance.

Belkyra and Chin Fat Toronto
It’s a common misconception that having a double chin is a result of being overweight and or from poor life choices.
Studies have shown that double chins or chin fat can result from genetics, age, as well as other factors that are beyond our control. Whatever the case having chin fat can cause one to feel very self-conscious and uncomfortable.
Belkyra offers a permanent solution for removing chin fat without surgery.
Belkyra is the only non-surgical Health Canada approved product that is injected directly into the chin area to dissolve fat cells. Belkyra is comprised of deoxycholate, a synthetic non-animal chemical that is naturally found in our bodies to help in digestion and absorption of fats that we consume. When Belkyra is injected into chin fat, deoxycholic acid targets fat cells, destroying the cell membranes and effectively killing the cell. The dead cells are then absorbed by the body and removed through the body’s own waste system.
During a Belkyra treatment, the injection area is marked to target the anatomical landmarks for guidance and accuracy. 2-4 treatments of Belkyra are required to completely remove the submental fat in the chin. A Belkyra treatment can take between 20-30 minutes.
It is natural for the Belkyra treatment area to swell for a few days. This happens as the body’s defense mechanism is triggered.
Results are visible in two- four weeks, and follow up treatments are spaced four to six weeks apart.
Redefine your jawline with Belkyra and remove unwanted chin fat.
