What is an Injectable Filler?

An injectable filler, also referred to as a dermal filler, is the injection of particular medical substances into the face or lips.  Injectable fillers can be performed to restore the youthfulness of your face, augment the plumpness of your lips, enhance natural facial contours, or reduce the appearance of creases and wrinkles.  Injectable fillers produce results similar to surgical facelifts but with a fraction of the downtime and a much lower cost.

Dr. Robertus Injectable Fillers

Here at the Dr. Robertus Laser and Cosmetic Clinic, we offer Juvederm hyaluronic acid based fillers.  Each has its own features, benefits and functions which make it ideal in particular applications.  All fillers are approved by Health Canada and are temporary, as they naturally dissolve inside the body over a period of time.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers

We use fillers that are 100% hyaluronic acid based, wrinkle filling, biocompatible and absorbable.  HA fillers can be injected painlessly into the face, neck, upper chest area and hands to reduce the appearance of deep wrinkles, add volume, plump and redefine, and rehydrate the skin deep down.  The results are natural and immediate, creating smooth and supple skin.  Filler injections can be performed during multiple sessions to achieve optimal results.

Which Filler is the Best?

We use only the highest quality new generation dermal fillers.  Our patients often ask what is the difference between them.  Some fillers have properties that make them more suitable for face sculpting, while others are perfect for filling wrinkles and folds.  The products we use feature smooth linear molecular structure which enables naturally-looking and long-lasting rejuvenation effect.  Your doctor will advise which filler will be better for your specific situation.

Aging:  The Issue and The Solution

Hyaluronic Acid

A substance naturally produced by the human body, hyaluronic acid is what gives our skin volume and fullness.  With its viscoelastic, hydrating and lubricating properties, hyaluronic acid contributes to good facial shape, defined contours and smoothness of the skin.  As we age, the production of hyaluronic acid slows resulting in deflated, loose, fragile and wrinkled skin.  Juverderm is injected into the dermis, effectively compensating for the skin’s loss of hyaluronic acid for a rejuvenated, youthful appearance.

Here at the Dr. Robertus Laser and Cosmetic Clinic, injectable fillers are not simply a procedure, but a work of art.  We are here to help you achieve your most optimal appearance, and most importantly, one that you will love and enjoy for many years ahead.
