Cosmetic Injections in Toronto
By adding structure, framework, and volume to the face and lips, injectables can be used to ease facial wrinkles and folds, shape the body, and improve the symptoms of facial fat loss. In addition, several injectable procedures enhance specific problem regions.
Numerous dermatologists choose injectable cosmetics over laser and chemical treatments for numerous skin-related issues. For example, botox and fillers are injectable procedures that are both safer and more effective. Fillers work to restore volume and fullness to the skin, softening and improving its appearance. They are injected through an ultra-fine needle beneath the skin’s surface, under the wrinkle or scar. Botox and Dysport are injectables that work to relax targeted muscles and reduce or eliminate wrinkles brought on by repetitive muscle movements by blocking the body’s chemical impulses from nerves to muscles in a particular area.
Types of Injectables
Hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a type of injectable temporary dermal filler.
The body naturally contains hyaluronic acid, with the joints, eyes, and skin having the most significant quantities. Hyaluronic acid draws water to the skin, causing the skin to become more hydrated. As a result, our facial muscles, fat, bone, and skin start to deteriorate as we age. Due to this volume loss, the face seems sunken or sagging and has fine lines, creases, folds, and thin lips. Fine lines and wrinkles, facial folds, and the appearance of volume loss in the lips and face are all treated with injectable Hyaluronic acid.
Calcium hydroxyapatite
You can find this kind of calcium in your bones. It’s a mineral-like substance with a gel-like consistency and doesn’t require the use of animal products in its production, making it suitable for vegans. With a 9 to 15 months lifespan, this is one of the injectable varieties that lasts the longest.
Collagen stimulator injectable
A polylactic acid is a form of filler that dissolves in a matter of days or weeks. Poly-L-lactic acid, rather than remaining beneath your skin, is intended to boost your body’s natural collagen creation.
Poly-L-lactic acid is the same component used in dissolvable stitches after surgery to promote recovery. Despite being biodegradable, this component is still synthetic.
Allergan Botox®
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe forehead lines, crow’s feet lines, and frown lines between the eyebrows in adults. Allergan Botox® is not only the world’s best-selling Botulinum Toxin injection, but it is also the most researched one. Small injections decrease facial wrinkles by preventing the underlying facial muscles from contracting. Treatments with Allergan Botox often produce results that last three to four months.
Dysport
Dysport minimizes the appearance of lines in the glabella, which is the area between your brows. These lines go between the brows and across the forehead. When you frown or squint, glabella lines become more visible. In addition, Glabella lines might grow more noticeable during times of relaxation over time.
Dysport is intended to treat moderate to severe glabellar lines, not mild lines. A dermatologist or plastic surgeon can assist you in distinguishing between mild and moderate wrinkles of this type.
Your doctor will apply a little anesthetic before the injections to reduce any discomfort experienced during the process.
Doctors commonly inject 0.05 millilitres (mL) up to five times around your eyebrows and forehead to alleviate frown lines.
Is Botox® FDA and Health Canada approved?
Health Canada approves the use of Botox® cosmetic four as an anti-wrinkle treatment for the expression lines between the eyebrows. Botox cosmetic is now the most popular minimally invasive cosmetic treatment in North America and continues growing rapidly.
