There are many changes that occur naturally with aging and among the most significant is loss of volume under the skin. This leads to changes such as flattening of the cheeks, hollow temples, thin lips and noticeable lines, including nose-to-mouth (nasolabial lines) and drool lines (Marionette). These volume changes are accompanied by loss of collagen and elasticity, leading to many wrinkles. Facial fillers are skin wrinkle fillers; they literally sit in the skin and restore youthfulness by replacing lost volume

The good news is a small touch of dermal filler can provide additional volume to your skin and make a dramatic difference in your appearance, leaving you looking fresher and younger. Your skin will feel rehydrated too!

Facial fillers, also called dermal fillers, contain hyaluronic acid, which is a gel-matrix that is abundant in the body and serves many functions. It is a space-filling substance that provides mechanical support while also adding to the skin's nourishment. It is the reduced production and increased breakdown of hyaluronic acid which causes most of the signs of aging.

To better understand the use of dermal fillers and their benefit to you, it is important to be clear about your requirements, whether this is for enhancement, restoration, or refreshment. This is the kind of information that you will discuss in your consultation with Dr. Adeboye.

Facial and lip filler treatments are the most common dermal filler treatments; however, fillers are also used for hand rejuvenation and depressed scar treatment. Effects of treatment are instant and last an average of six to 12 months.

There are many brands of hyaluronic acid fillers. At Prairie Face and Vein Clinic, you have our guarantee that we will only use safe and high-quality injectable fillers which are Health Canada and FDA approved. We only offer the leading brands such as Restylane and Juvéderm.

Are fillers safe?
Hyaluronic acid fillers are safe as the substance they contain is natural to the body and present low risk of allergy. Choosing the right practitioner is as important as choosing the filler you want as cautious and proper placement is required.
