What is a dermal filler? Dermal fillers are injected into your skin to fill lines and restore lost volume, enhancing your facial contours and lips for natural-looking results. They’re injected into the deeper layers of skin at the site of sunken areas, creases, or scars to smooth and fill out the area for a firmer, more youthful appearance. At the Edmonton Skin Clinic, we use Juvéderm®, Restylane®, Perlane®, and Revanesse®, market leaders in dermal fillers. All our dermal fillers are Hyaluronic Acid (HA) based. Hyaluronic Acid is a naturally-occurring sugar found in your body. It combines with the water in your skin to instantly smooth lines and wrinkles, enhance lips, and restore lost volume to the cheeks and jaw-line. Hyaluronic acid facial fillers have also been shown to naturally stimulate collagen production in your skin. The History of Hyaluronic Acid In the 1930s, researchers discovered a natural substance in the body that they named hyaluronic acid. They found that it played a key role in numerous areas of the body including the maintenance of skin volume and hydration. In the early 2000's, the first hyaluronic acid facial filler received approval in Canada and the United States for the correction of facial wrinkles and folds. Today, hyaluronic acid-based facial fillers are the fastest growing non-surgical aesthetic procedure in North America. |
Dermal fillers achieve facial rejuvenation by replacing hyaluronic acid lost over time, smoothing lines, restoring lost skin volume, and keeping your skin hydrated. Best of all, the results are instantaneous, look natural, and may last up to a year with no downtime.
Can I be treated with a dermal filler if my doctor also treats me with other treatments or injections?
Yes. Many different treatments are often used at the same time with dermal fillers or other cosmetic procedures for an all-over smoothing of wrinkles and facial lines and restoring of lost volume. For example prescription injection treatments may be used on forehead wrinkles, while a dermal filler may be better used to treat lines at the mouth area.
At the Edmonton Skin Clinic we specialize in Juvederm and Restylane treatments.
