Soft Tissue Filler Ottawa
The aging process gradually diminishes the amount of fat and bone underneath our skin, resulting in a loss of structure and volume.
Soft tissue fillers are long-lasting but not permanent and are used to treat the hollows, folds, and possible creases that appear over time due to the volume loss that comes with aging. Non-permanent soft tissue fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the soft tissues of the body.
Hyaluronic acid helps improve volume and hydration. When injected strategically under the skin’s surface, near the bone, or within the skin layers itself, it can help create a smoother and fuller appearance in the face and other body parts.
The leading brands of dermal fillers include Juvederm®, Restylane®, and Belotero®. The products are specialized formulations of hyaluronic acid. They are used to improve facial proportions and lost volume. Key areas that are targeted include the lips, jawline, cheeks, and chin. A personal consultation is required to determine the best type of treatment for each patient.
