Areas That Can Be Improved With Injectable Fillers

Synthetic dermal fillers can only be used for the face. They are not approved for use on any other place on the body. On the face, though, there are multiple areas and types of blemishes that they can fix. Mouth Lines Dermal fillers work best around the mouth. The cheeks are fatty areas that develop deep folds, even if the skin stays taut. Injecting a dermal filler easily and safely restores volume, taking years of age off your face. Lips This is pretty simple: a dermal filler can give you luscious Angelina-Jolie-level plump lips. Often, this procedure is performed on its own, on both younger and older patients.

6 Uses for JUVÉDERM®

Over time, the skin on your body tends to lose some of its elasticity and volume. When this happens, the skin hangs more loosely, sags, and develops wrinkles. This can cause you to look much older than you are, which is not ideal. Thankfully, JUVÉDERM® can help reverse the effects of aging for patients in Montreal. JUVÉDERM, along with similar dermal injectables like Restylane®, is a versatile product that can deliver immediate results with a simple treatment. Your cosmetic surgeon will apply a local numbing cream to the injection site. After the numbing has taken effect, they simply inject the JUVÉDERM into the skin.

What is Juvederm?

Facial fillers are rapidly becoming one of the most popular cosmetic treatments among women and men in Montreal and around the world thanks to their less-invasive techniques and impressive results. Rather than go under the knife for a traditional facelift, many patients are finding that fillers are a great way to create a subtle, natural looking improvement in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in the face. One of the most popular and highly recommend facial fillers in North America, Juvederm is a smooth, injectable gel filler made of hyaluronic acid (HA). This naturally occurring sugar is already found in the human body, making it a highly safe and natural way to reduce fine lines and plump certain areas of the face to correct the gaunt, tired appearance aging can cause. How Does it Work? Hyaluronic acid naturally combines with water present in the skin to smooth out wrinkles…
