As we age, we lose bone, collagen, elastin and fat in our body. These can result in hollowed temples, flatter cheeks, shorter chin, thinner lips, baggy under eyes, sagging skin, deep lines, jowls and folds.
HA DERMAL FILLERS are gel-like substances composed of a more durable type of sugar compound naturally found in the body, known as "cross-linked" hyaluronic acid. When injected into skin tissues, HA Filler combines with water to restore volume, hydrate skin, soften folds, smoothen wrinkles, plump up lips, as well as enhance feature and contour of the face.
SAFETY OF HA FILLERS
HA Fillers are biocompatible and not permanent. They are gradually dissolved by naturally occurring enzyme in our body called hyaluronidase. However, if necessary, a synthetic, concentrated form of hyaluronidase is commercially available and can be used to immediately dissolve and reverse any undesirable effects of HA filler.
LIMITATION
Fillers cannot stop aging. Their results are temporary. More treatments or injections are needed to keep seeing results. They cannot replace the benefits of cosmetic surgery for certain cases like severe eyebags or infaorbital fat herniation , severe facial sagging and the like.
MD Aesthetic & Health Services uses only Health Canada approved dermal fillers. Treatment is fast, safe and leaves no scars or other traces on the face.
