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?

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.

Juvederm Toronto and a Soft lift Toronto

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.

Botox and Dermal Filler Toronto- It’s An Art

Botox and Dermal Filler Toronto It’s An Art
Botox and Dermal Fillers are excellent tools for a practitioner to address fine lines and lost volume in the face. However the effectiveness of these tools, much like a brush in the hands of an artist, depends on the skill of the practitioner.

A truly talented practitioner is experienced, knowledgeable of Botox and Dermal filler’s capabilities, and has a perceptive eye. Just as an artist does not simply throw paint on a canvas, a skilled practitioner does not just use Botox and dermal fillers to simply “fill in” areas.

A skilled artistic practitioner will be able to provide non-surgical lifts, contour and definition that will enhance the features of a patient. They will be able to use the right tools or products to achieve the most natural results.

Botox paralyzes the muscle, therefore removing the muscles ability to form wrinkles or fine lines. Using Botox, a skilled practitioner is able to inject into specific muscles in order to correct a gummy smile or provide a subtle brow lift; arching the brow and correcting slightly hooded eyes.

Dermal Fillers from Juvederm and Teosyal truly allow the practitioner to shape and sculpt. Having knowledge of both Juvederm and Teosyal products, their viscosity, and the anatomy of the face, a practitioner is able to make the best choice to provide beautiful results for their individual patient.

Talented practitioners can create a soft lift, achieving a younger lifted appearance.

Dermal fillers can be used to replace bone that has been lost with age, contouring and shaping a jawline or cheekbone, provided a natural younger visage without puffiness. In addition lips can have their vermillion border defined or have the cupid’s bow accentuated.

When you looking for a practitioner, don’t look for one with only experience, but that views Botox and Dermal Fillers as artist tools. Looking to provide their patient with an attractive and natural look they will feel confident with.

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

by

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.

For more information on how Lip Injections can restore youthfulness to lips, book a personal consultation at Lasting Looks Clinic in Toronto today or visit our website at www.lastinglooks.ca/lip-augmentation-toronto.

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.

Dermal Filler Toronto Removal

by

Removing Dermal Filler Hyaluronidase

Although dermal fillers such as Juvederm and Teosyal are temporary, if a patient is unhappy, the last thing they want to do is wait until the dermal filler dissolves which could be months or years.

If a patient has received dermal fillers and is not happy with the result, injections of Hyaluronidase can be made to remove either some or all of the dermal filler in the treated area.

Hyaluronidase is an injectable enzyme solution that can safely remove unwanted dermal filler, even when a patient has had filler done years ago or just months before

Hyaluronidase speeds the breakdown of Hyaluronic acid. It triggers the body’s natural reaction to break down the dermal fillers (hyaluronic acid) immediately. Results are seen immediately, but full results are achieved in 2-3 days.

Please note that Hyaluronidase only dissolves Hyaluronic Acid Fillers.

To achieve the most satisfying results, it is always best to start off slowly with any dermal filler and there will be no need for Hyaluronidase.

Lip Fillers Toronto and Philtral Columns

by

Lip Fillers Toronto

Surprisingly a new beauty trend has been gaining popularity.

Dermal filler in the Philtral Columns!

The philtrum, or medial cleft, is the vertical indentation in the middle area of the upper lip, from the nasal septum to the tubercle of the upper lip. This area is directly connected to the cupids bow.

When patients ask for “Rihanna’s” lips, it is an increased definition of the philtral columns that they are searching for.

The way to achieve this look is by injecting Dermal Filler or Lip Fillers from the top of the cupids bow straight up to the nasal sill.

Dermal fillers such Juvederm Volbella, and Teosyal Kiss, can be used to provide patients with beautifully enhanced lips and borders.

This lip injection provides support and volume, as well as creating a youthful lift to the lips which can start to flatten due to age.

Restore your lips, and bring back your philtral columns with lip fillers today!

Dermal Fillers Toronto & The Jaw line

by

Dermal Fillers and The Jaw line

More and more people today are looking for a non-surgical means to address facial imperfections.

Signs of aging caused by volume loss and sagging around the jawline can begin to appear as we naturally age, which can weigh down a person’s appearance and make them appear older and tired. Jaw enhancement with dermal fillers can be used to strengthen a weak jaw line. Dermal Fillers can create a softer and more defined jawbone, while removing indentations or pockets in the chin and jaw.

Juvederm Voluma or Teosyal Ultra Deep are routinely used to contour and shape a variety of areas on the face, including sharpening and squaring off the angle of the jawline. This procedure is mostly requested by men to masculinize the face.

During treatment small volumes of dermal filler gel are injected at several places along the jawline. Procedures can be done quickly with little to no down time and be done in a subtle way that gradually creates a youthful and rejuvenated look.

A patient is able to see immediate results that look natural and that last from 3 to 18 months.

The drawback is the effect is not permanent. If you are looking for a more permanent option then chin and mandibular angle implants are recommended.

Another option to redefine the jawline would be Ultherapy, a focused ultra sound treatment, which can further tighten the skin, as well as the SMAS tissue of the jaw line and create further definition.

With the variety of dermal fillers available your physician is able to choose the best dermal filler for each case.
