Dermal Fillers

a

What is Dermal Fillers?

As we age, our skin loses its volume, hydration, and elasticity, all of which we need in order to promote a youthful, healthy-looking appearance.

Injectable Filler is used to give volume and create contours on the face where they are needed or where the volume has disappeared with age. Often called Dermal Fillers or Facial Fillers, these products are temporary and non-surgical and can result in a younger, refreshed, and revitalized appearance. Our doctors use only the top-rated and best hyaluronic products available in Canada today, such as Juvederm, Teosyal Ultimate, Teosyal Global, Redensity II,  Restylane, Voluma, Volbella and Volift. All of these dermal fillers have an excellent safety record and are approved by FDA.

Juvéderm and Restylane are two types of dermal fillers available on the market for the treatment of wrinkles. They both contain hyaluronic acid, a substance that has plumping effects for the skin.

While the two fillers share similarities, they also have their differences. Learn more about these, as well as the costs and expected results, so you know which hyaluronic-based dermal filler is best for you.

Juvéderm and Restylane are both considered noninvasive procedures. This means that no surgery is required for either. They also both use hyaluronic acid to treat wrinkles via volume. Below is more information about each procedure.

About:

  • Juvéderm and Restylane are two types of dermal fillers used for the treatment of wrinkles.

Safety:

  • Both products can include lidocaine, which reduces pain during the injections.
  • Minor side effects are possible. These include bruising, redness, and swelling.

  • It may take time to shop around and find a qualified provider.

Cost:

  • Juvéderm costs an average of $600, while Restylane costs can range between $300 and $650 per injection.
