* This procedure is for adding
volume to lips or face.
The
plump appearance of healthy skin is due to hyaluronic acid. As you
age, levels of natural hyaluronic acid in the skin decrease with
time, sun exposure and other environmental factors. The result?
Lines, furrows and wrinkles. Dermal fillers such as Juvederm, Restylane and
Perlane can correct wrinkles, improve lip definition, and address
the signs of ageing from the inside out.
Benefits:
- long history of safety and success
- no allergy testing necessary
- long lasting but not permanent
- restores volume and fullness
- smoothes wrinkles and folds
- provides luscious lips
How it works:
All young smooth skin has one thing in common:
hyaluronic acid. Found in all skin tissue and identical from species
to species,
this building block of sorts fills out the space between collagen
and elastin fibers in the skin, holding in water and maintaining
the skin’s volume. With age, levels of hyaluronic acid in
the skin decrease and so we end up with furrows, wrinkles, and often
thinner lips.
By injecting hyaluronic acid into the skin, we can mimic the effects
of natural hyaluronic acid and produce the look and feel of hydrated
skin. By filling depressions in the skin, wrinkles and folds are
considerably softened and/or eliminated.
What to expect:
The hyaluronic acid is injected directly into the skin in tiny amounts using
an ultra fine needle. Local anesthetic makes the treatment simple
with no discomfort. The procedure is convenient and results are
instantaneous.
Each procedure is customized. Most patients choose to have a follow
up treatment between four and six months after the initial treatment.
As the gel breaks down, water takes its place. When totally absorbed,
the gel disappears unnoticed from the body.
