Injectable Dermal Fillers In Toronto

Over time, the natural loss of facial volume can lead to deeper lines and a less refreshed appearance. REFILL – restoring volume to areas where soft tissue has been lost or to deeper lines and wrinkles with injectable facial fillers.

Dr. Wu’s personal commitment to enhancing who you already are, not transforming you into someone else, as well as his attitude to both his surgical work and filler treatments, bring amazing results.

Dermal fillers and volume-building injections are widely used in aesthetic medicine to fill static wrinkles and to compensate for the loss of volume over time. They are composed of hyaluronic acid, a carbohydrate (sugar derivative) occurring naturally throughout the human body. As we age and due to repeated exposure to environmental pollutants and the sun’s UV rays, our skin cells lose their ability to produce hyaluronic acid. As a result, facial features become harsh and sunken. That’s when volume-building injections of synthesized hyaluronic acid come in handy. Injected under the skin, hyaluronic acid binds to water, capable of holding more than a thousand times its weight, which makes it ideal to hydrate the skin and to maintain tissue volume. It is a safe non-surgical treatment, often used in combination with Botox® Cosmetic injections, for the most natural rejuvenating effect.

JUVÉDERM®
JUVÉDERM® injections consist of hyaluronic acid, a sugar found naturally in the body. The injection of the gel instantly smooths the skin to give you a more lively, youthful and rested look. JUVÉDERM® wrinkle treatments deliver results that can last up to two years.

Hyaluronic acid is abundant in our tissues in youth, and dissipates as we age. Hyaluronic acid fillers used today are crystal-clear, non-animal-derived, extremely hypoallergenic, and very safe. Juvederm comes in two main concentrations: Juvederm Ultra, and Juvederm Ultra Plus. The “ultra” formulation has a slightly less dense molecular concentration for finer, more superficial fill and wrinkle corrections, and Juvederm Ultra Plus is used for more intermediate depth fill and correction of deeper lines and shadows.

Treated areas

Dermal filler injections can be used to correct and improve various aspects of the face. The most commonly treated areas are lips, nasolabial folds, marionette lines and cheekbones. Other areas include under-eye area, cheeks and even temples that are often affected by the loss of volume. Dermal fillers are also used to reshape the lower face in order to minimize the look of sagging “jowls”.

Moreover, injectable dermal fillers may be used to achieve a facelift effect without the consequences of a surgical procedure. Dr. Wu has developed specific expertise in this technique using precise application of dermal fillers to restore lost volume and to enhance overall facial contours. The particular choice of strategic focal injection sites creates a refreshed and rejuvenated look.

Concerns

Lip Augmentation

Lip augmentation is a cosmetic procedure that can give you fuller, plumper lips. These days, an injectable dermal filler is the most commonly used method of lip augmentation.

Hollow Cheeks

Because of the central role that the cheeks play in a youthful appearance, re-volumizing (i.e. reinflating) them with injectable contouring agents can not only restore their youthful shape, the “blush of youth,” but improve the surrounding regions as well.

Nose Correction

The non-surgical Rhinoplasty, or non-surgical nose job as it is most commonly called, is a revolutionary non-invasive cosmetic procedure that allows the nose to be reshaped without surgery.

Nasolabial Folds

Nasolabial folds are sometimes referred to as smile or laugh lines. As a person ages, the fold becomes more pronounced. Some people do not like the way it looks while others feel it is a natural and welcome part of aging.

Face Contouring

Cheek and facial contouring adds volume to lessen the effects of aging, especially in the cheek and chin area, creating a more defined facial contour, restoring facial symmetry, and correcting superficial lines and moderate wrinkles.

Dermal Fillers FAQ’s

What areas can dermal fillers treat?

Dermal fillers can treat lines, folds, and volume loss in several areas of the face, including the lips, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and cheekbones. They are also used around the under-eye area, cheeks, and temples, and to reshape the lower face and soften the look of sagging jowls.

How long do dermal fillers typically last?

Longevity depends on which filler is used. Juvéderm® wrinkle treatments can last up to two years, Perlane® and Restylane® typically last six to twelve months, and Hylaform® Gel is effective for around 12 weeks. Dr. Wu will recommend the option best suited to your goals during your consultation.

Is there downtime after filler injections?

Dermal filler injections are a safe, non-surgical treatment. Results are visible immediately, and the injection method leaves no scars or other visible traces on the face, so there is little to no downtime for most patients.

How do you choose the right filler for each facial area?

The right filler depends on the depth and location of the concern being treated. Dr. Wu uses precise application and strategic focal injection sites tailored to your facial anatomy and goals, drawing on his experience with each filler’s specific properties, to create a refreshed, natural-looking result.
