Dermal Fillers Toronto- Collagen Production

by

Dermal Fillers Toronto Collagen Production

There are many benefits to having dermal fillers. The most common is of course to counteract volume loss.

Areas such as cheeks, nasal folds, and lips can all get a boost of volume bringing back a youthful appearance.

Another benefit is that dermal fillers can help to boost collagen production and growth.

As we age our skin loses elasticity and collagen. When dermal fillers are injected into a desired area, a patient naturally observes the initial age defying results, such as more fullness, contour etc. They also notice that when they return to be re-injected they have stronger collagen than before.

Dermal filler injections help to stimulate your body’s own collagen production. When an injection is made in the skin, the body will naturally produce collagen to heal the area. When fibroblasts (cells that synthesize collagen) are stretched they will secrete more collagen to aid in the healing process.

In addition temporary dermal fillers contain Hyaluronic Acid, a naturally occurring substance within the body that is metabolized over time. Hyaluronic Acid is a key component to youthful looking skin.

Dermal Filler Removal Toronto-Hyaluronidase-How Long Will It Take?

by

Dermal Filler Removal Toronto Hyaluronidase How Long Does it Take
Dermal fillers are one of the most popular and cost effective rejuvenating treatments. Yearly over 1 million men and women use dermal fillers to enhance their looks. Still, not everyone is happy with their dermal filler results

If a patient would like to remove their temporary dermal filler, they do not have to wait long. Hyaluronidase injections dissolve filler quickly and safely.

Hyaluronidase is a protein enzyme that breaks down the main component of temporary dermal fillers such as Hyaluronic acid.

Hyaluronidase starts to dissolve the molecular bonds of Hyaluronic acid immediately. It continues to break down within 24-48 hours following the injection. After this time, a follow up will be made to determine if more Hyaluronidase is needed.

Multiple sessions may be required especially if a patient seeks a new practitioner to perform dermal filler removal. This is because they do not know the exact depth of the filler and will need to predict the depth of the filler to be removed.

If a patient has other dermal filler in the target area or only wants a small amount removed, a practitioner will not be able to promise that only the specific filler will be dissolved. A patient may need to replace some dermal filler afterward since the Hyaluronidase will break down any filler it comes in contact with.

Hyaluronidase is a safe injection and merely imitates and speeds up the process of metabolizing the dermal filler.

After a week, patients that have removed temporary dermal filler can choose to have another treatment if you wish.

To ensure that you are happy with your dermal filler, choose a provider that is experienced and highly knowledgeable so that they can discern the appropriate filler for your needs.

Dermal Filler Removal Toronto
Removing unwanted dermal filler has never been easier.

Patients who are unhappy with the filler in their lips, cheeks, nose, nasal folds, can have it easily dissolved with Hyaluronidase.
Hyaluronidase is an injectable enzyme solution that can safely remove unwanted dermal filler, whether a patient has had filler done years ago, or just recently.

Hyaluronic dermal fillers are naturally broken down in the body over time accelerating the process.

Hyaluronidase is extremely efficient, with some results being seen immediately and full results being achieved in 2-3 day. It may take more than one treatment to completely dissolve Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers. This is more likely to happen if a patient has had the dermal filler injected by another practitioner who may not know the exact placement of the original filler.

It is important to note that Hyaluronidase will only dissolve temporary dermal fillers composed of Hyaluronic acid. If you have had permanent fillers you will need another method of removal.

Botox Toronto- Lip Flip Realistic Expectations

by

Botox Toronto Lip-Flip Realistic Expectations
A question often asked is: Will the Botox Lip Flip give more volume to my lips?
The answer is no.

The Botox lip flip takes your existing lips and simply turns your lips upwards and outwards, revealing more of your lip.

The Botox lip flip should not be confused with adding volume to your lips. Your existing lips are injected with Botox only to the superficial layers of the muscle on the upper and lower lip.
Once the Botox starts to work, you will notice that the top lip will gently roll out, creating a subtle, sexy pout and the illusion of added volume.

If your desire is to have fuller lips, then dermal fillers are right for you. Dermal fillers are made of hylauronic acid which is naturally produced in your body and can add volume, accentuate the lip line, or create a more defined cupid’s bow. Lip fillers such as Juvederm or Teosyal can last anywhere between 6 months to 2 years.

Botox will wear off after 3-4 months and can be repeated when needed.

Botox and Fillers Toronto-Facial Expression

by

Botox-&-Dermal-Fillers-Toronto--Facial-Expression

There is a stigma that Botox and Dermal Fillers will rob a patient of all facial expression, revealing to the world that they have had injections done. The truth is quite the opposite.

When used in moderation Botox and Dermal Fillers enhance a patient’s visage allowing them to express and feel confident in doing so.

Some patients have lines or deep wrinkles either caused by years of continuous muscle movement or bone loss due to age. These lines can remain visible even when a patient has a relaxed expression. This can make one appear angry, tired or older than they really are.

Botox is a neuromodulator which can freeze the contracting muscles that cause these wrinkles to appear when making facial expressions. This is not to say that Botox will leave a patient without any facial expression. A patient will still be able to express themselves just without the extra creases.

Botox is commonly used to treat expressive wrinkles on the upper face, frowns, horizontal lines on the forehead and crow’s feet around the eyes. Botox lasts around 3-4 months and can be repeated as needed.

Dermal fillers on the other hand can be injected in areas such as nasal folds, chin, cheeks, and lips. Dermal fillers can last between 6 months to 2 years.

Dermal fillers add volume to the creases and folds in the skin that have been lost due to years of facial movement and age. Dermal filler when placed in specific areas can also restore structure to the face, accentuating high cheek bones, defining the jawline and providing full lips. Patients can be confident that they will still be able to move their face without the worry of sagging jowls or thin lips that disappear when smiling.

Botox and Dermal fillers can help you achieve a more relaxed smoother appearance while still keeping your facial expressions.

Botox and Fillers Toronto- Will It Look Natural?

by

Botox and Fillers Toronto- Will It Look Natural?

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.
