An Overview of Dermal Fillers in Toronto

LEARN MORE ABOUT DERMAL FILLERS PROCEDURES IN TORONTO

Our faces lose subcutaneous fat as we get older, and our skin starts to strain, resulting in fine lines, wrinkles, and drooping. Factors like sun exposure, smoking, and genetics may all speed up the aging process. Thanks to dermal fillers they are able to add volume to the face and provide remarkable effects with little downtime.

How To Improve The Look Of Aging With Dermal Fillers

Every year, we lose face volume as we get older. The deterioration of healthy skin tissues and the slowdown of our regeneration mechanisms are the main causes. The results may vary, but they usually include drooping, loose skin as well as visible lines and wrinkles. Today’s procedures have offered us highly improved dermal filler materials and ways for preventing or restoring lost volume and minimizing aging symptoms.

Juvederm (a type of dermal filler) is produced from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring chemical that tackles the source of volume loss by rebalancing the muscles in the face. The modifications are minor. The results are spectacular.

Dermal fillers may help you add or restore volume to your whole face in a natural-looking way.

What’s the big deal about these cosmetic fillers? Dermal Fillers, often known as cosmetic fillers, have grown in popularity because they are very safe to use and provide lifted, youthful effects that formerly required expensive, intrusive treatments like surgical facelifts.

What Exactly Is Filler?

Filler is a gel composed of hyaluronic acid, a chemical that our bodies naturally produce. It is injected into the skin to plump, smooth, and lift the skin for a more youthful appearance. Our skin loses elasticity as we age, and collagen and fillers are utilized to help lift our skin back up and promote more collagen synthesis. In the unlikely event that the therapy has to be reversed, the filler is likewise reversible. Dr. Kolenda uses a variety of fillers (Juvéderm®, Restylane®, Teosyal®) to get the desired results.

Areas that may be filled with filler include:

Under-eyes
Cheeks
Temples
Nasolabial folds
Lips
Lip creases
Jawline
Chin
Hands

Who Makes The Best Dermal Filler Candidates?

Before beginning a face filler treatment, our experts always do a comprehensive examination of each patient seeking dermal fillers. Before we begin the process, we must ensure that the patient is in excellent health, is a good candidate for facial filler therapy, has no open sores or skin infections on the face, and has had the opportunity to ask all of their questions. We take pleasure in being one of Toronto’s finest clinics for dermal filler injections.

Who Needs Filler Treatments?

Fillers are a fantastic option for anybody who is worried about the loss of volume and plumpness, as well as fine lines and wrinkles. Deep lines and wrinkles may be reduced, sagging skin can be lifted, and nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and other wrinkles can be filled in with this procedure.

Additionally, this procedure may be utilized to emphasize and improve certain characteristics, such as lip enhancements or cheek contour augmentation..

Facial fillers are a non-surgical, safe, and effective method to enhance and shape the face, restoring a youthful fullness to the face after years of ageing. We make use of hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occurring molecule present in your body.

We provide significant effects with little or no downtime, and our patients always leave our clinic looking relaxed and rejuvenated – but never overdone.

What Is It About Facial Dermal Fillers That Makes Them So Effective?

The skin loses its moisture as it ages because the body produces less hyaluronic acid and collagen.

Additionally, we lose volume from the deep fat compartments of our faces as we get older, and the aging process has the potential to alter the shape of our facial bones. This tissue movement results in wrinkles, fine lines, and hollows appearing in various areas of the face as a consequence of this movement. Fillers are used to replace fat, collagen, and elastin that has been lost in the face. These injectable fillers help to restore the volume and structure that has been lost. Results include plumpness that has been restored, smoother features, volume where you want it, and the immediate appearance of being revitalized and youthful. The procedure also only takes around an hour.

Fillers Function In What Ways?

Wrinkles are filled out using injectable fillers that replace lost volume under the skin, adding or restoring volume. BOTOX COSMETIC®, on the other hand, is a procedure that Dr. Kolenda employs in Toronto to progressively reduce wrinkles by temporarily inhibiting the contraction of certain facial muscles.

How Are The Treatments Performed?

The majority of filler treatments are performed by Dr. Kolenda himself. When doing these rapid injections, he inserts a short, tiny needle underneath the region that has to be filled in. The discomfort is minor, although anesthesia may be administered if necessary. Following these easy office procedures, you will be able to return to your regular activities with no interruption.

Prior to the start of your treatment, a cost estimate will be given to you during the first appointment. You have access to the best dermal fillers in Toronto, which may be used to target and enhance problem areas on your face.

Which Filler Is The Most Appropriate For Me?

You may choose from a wide range of fillers that are produced from a number of different components such as collagen, hyaluronic acid (HA), and poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). Restylane and JUVÉDERM are both hyaluronic acid fillers, which means they both give volume to the region where they are injected. Based on its composition, each filler is best suited for a certain issue, such as deep or superficial wrinkles, lips, or volume restoration.

Dr. Kolenda will ask you to describe the changes you would want to see, examine your medical history, analyze the state of your skin, and then explain which fillers will be the most effective for your specific requirements. It’s possible that he’ll recommend additional medical spa treatments, as well.

When Do Fillers Begin To Provide Results?

You will see a difference as soon as your treatment is completed, which is one of the benefits of injectable fillers. Some fillers stimulate collagen formation in the skin, and the skin’s appearance continues to improve for many weeks after the procedure.

What Is The Expected Duration Of My Results?

With frequent treatments, you can keep the youthful appearance that fillers have given you. The length of the filler is determined by its composition, the condition of your skin, and the region where it was applied.

Most Often Used Fillers

Dermal fillers are distinguished by the content of their solutions, as previously stated. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring component that helps to form and hydrate the skin. The most popular fillers, including Perlane, Restylane, and Juvederm, all include hyaluronic acid, which helps to shape and hydrate the skin (as well as other parts of the body). Fillers such as polylactic acid (Sculptra) and synthetic collagen substitutes such as polymethyl-methacrylate microspheres (Bellafill), calcium hydroxylapatite (Radiesse), and polyalkylimide (Polyfill) are also available (Aquamid).

Choosing the most appropriate dermal filler for you will be determined by your individual tastes and requirements, as well as your medical history.

The following are some other features that may differentiate hyaluronic acid-based therapies from other fillers:

One of the most distinguishing characteristics of hyaluronic acid fillers (HA) is that the effects are “reversible.” An “antidote” (hyaluronidase) can be put into a region that has already been injected with HA filler and will “melt” the filler away entirely, typically within 24 hours after being administered. Unlike other types of fillers, this is the only one that may be easily reversed if the outcome is unsatisfactory.

Some HA fillers are particularly well-suited for enhancing volume in the most natural way. JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus, JUVÉDERM VOLUMATM, and Restylane Lift® Injections are examples of fillers that are available. These fillers are most frequently used by Board-Certified Plastic Surgeons for lip augmentation, cheek augmentation, and repair of the nasolabial folds and “marionette lines,” among other procedures.

HA Fillers are designed to fill in fine lines and delicate areas. Restylane® Fine Line and JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA are the dermal fillers that are most often used for concealing bags under the eyes, lip augmentation, and “smoker’s lines,” among other fine lines around the mouth.

JUVÉDERM®

JUVÉDERM® is a hyaluronic acid-based injectable filler that may be used to enhance the appearance of wrinkles and folds. A variety of preparations are available with various degrees of volume augmentation.

The amount of HA present and the degree of cross-linking influences its volume-enhancing effects. JUVÉDERM Ultra offers modest volume enhancement, while JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus gives the most dramatic increase in volume augmentation possible. The nasolabial folds, lips, “marionette lines,” and cheeks are the most frequent areas where it is utilized.

JUVÉDERM VOLUMA

A hyaluronic acid-based filler JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA is the first and currently the only hyaluronic acid-based filler to be FDA-approved for midfacial volume augmentation in patients aged 21 and above.

It has the distinct characteristic of seeming extremely “smooth,” making it particularly well suited for injections near the skin’s surface. As a result, even extremely superficial fine lines may be treated with a minimal chance of appearing bumpy or causing contour abnormalities to appear. Its characteristics make VOLBELLA an ideal HA filler for natural lip enhancement, lip lines, and lower lid tear through enlargement, to name a few applications.

This injectable technique is most often used to augment the cheeks and regions of the midface in order to give the face a fuller, more youthful appearance. Furthermore, it may help in the smoothing and filling out of lines and wrinkles in the treatment area. It has been scientifically shown that the volumizing effects of JUVÉDERM VOLUMA may last for up to two years in certain patients.

JUVÉDERM VOLIFT

JUVÉDERM VOLIFT is a more recent dermal filler. Volbella is similar in that it has the unique characteristic of seeming extremely “smooth” and is appropriate for injection near to the skin’s surface, similar to Volbella. JUVÉDERM VOLUMA and VOLBELLA are two dermal fillers that are positioned “in between” each other. It is frequently used to treat “laugh lines” (nasolabial folds) and “marionette lines,” as well as the pre-jowl sulcus and submalar cheek hollowing, among other places.

Restylane®

Restylane® is a hyaluronic acid (HA)-based injectable filler that is used to restore volume to the skin. With Restylane®, you may achieve a modest amount of volume augmentation. A frequent use for this treatment is lip augmentation, as well as the reduction of nasolabial folds and “marionette lines.”

It is important to note that Restylane® Fine Lines is a filler that offers less volume augmentation than normal Restylane. This product’s characteristics are more suitable for delicate regions such as camouflaging bags in the lower lids and “smoker’s lines” than for more robust locations.

Restylane Lift (Perlane®)

Restylane Lift® may be thought of as the most voluminous form of the Restylane® family of cosmetic fillers. Its chemical makeup is specifically designed to increase fullness while also addressing volume deficit. Dr. Kolenda uses it most often in the nasolabial folds, “marionette lines,” and cheeks, among other places.

Calcium Hydroxylapatite Fillers

Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) is a mineral compound that is present in the teeth and bones. When it is utilized in tissue fillers, it is produced as smooth microspheres and contained in a gel carrier, which makes it easier to work with.

CaHA persists after the gel dissolves and stimulates collagen synthesis, which researchers believe is the method by which the gel’s volumizing effects are achieved. The CaHA is ultimately degraded by the body’s own enzymes. As a result, it serves as both a filler and a stimulatory agent. RADIESSE® is the only CaHA-based filler currently available on the market.

RADIESSE®

RADIESSE® is a filler composed of calcium hydroxylapatite. The claimed benefit of RADIESSE® over HA-based fillers is that the effects are more long-lasting. The typical time it takes to see effects is between 9 and 12 months.

It is most often used to add volume to the cheeks and to fill in the nasolabial folds, also known as the “marionette lines,” on the face. It is not recommended to apply the filler on the lips or in the lower eyelid region. It is possible that RADIESSE® will feel firmer in the early recovery phase when compared to alternative fillers, although this is not always the case. Dr. Kolenda mainly utilizes RADIESSE® for cheek augmentation, chin augmentation, nasal bridge augmentation, nasolabial fold correction, “marionette line” correction, and general volume enhancement. RADIESSE® is FDA-approved for the treatment of facial volume loss.
