Dermal Fillers for Non-surgical Rejuvenation

Dermal filler quality and chemistry have constantly improved with time. To present day purified hyaluronic acid and calcium hyrdroxyapatite; filler science and technology have come a long way. Fillers are not only great for erasing lines and wrinkles. They are even better for lifting contours and folds. They are thus great for non-surgical rejuvenation for the face and the rest of the body. Our Kelowna skin care clinic physicians specialize in facial and body sculpting using the latest generation of dermal fillers.

Dermal fillers: The Ideal Candidate

They are ideal for those patients who have lost facial volume. This is best illustrated by loss of contour, structure, wrinkles and sagginess. Clinical assessment of the patient is critical in identifying the best filler to address the patient’s individual needs.

Dermal Fillers: Are they all the Same?

The are various types of fillers from:

hyaluronic acid eg. Juvederm, Belotero, Teosyal, etc.
calcium hydroxyapatite eg. Radiesse
poly L-lactic acid eg. Sculptra
adipose tissue like Allofill

Their individual characteristics vary in terms of projections, cohesivity, elasticity and longevity. These fundamental filler properties which along with patient selection are paramount for best treatment outcomes.

Dermal Fillers: Location, Location, Location

After clinically assessing needs of the patient, filler choice is then directed by area to be treated and individual characteristics of chosen filler. For example, Juvederm Voluma reflates and lifts the cheek and mid face fantastically well, Radiesse enhances and defines the jawline and lower face excellently whilst Juvederm Volbella enhances and plumps up your lips for a beautifully natural look.

The beauty of the newer generation of volumizers, is that the majority of them contain a local anaesthetic. This ensures that the procedure is as comfortable as possible. This along with minimal to no downtime makes dermal fillers one of the best non-surgical treatments to turn back the hands of time and deliver healthy skin.
