Fillers
Fillers are extremely effective when used in conjunction with botox, but the two products work very differently in how they reduce the detrimental effects of time. Botox is injected to reduce the effects of the muscles that cause wrinkles. Fillers, on the other hand, work to replace the fullness of the skin.
The effects of these two products can be likened to the long-term repair of a road that has been damaged over time by heavy vehicle traffic.
Botox can be thought of as new regulations that limit the use of the heavy machinery that caused the damage, and fillers can be likened to the new gravel and asphalt that is laid down into those ruts to smooth the roadway. One product prevents the continuance of the damaging actions, while the other repairs the harm that has already been done.
The filler products used at Northern Rejuvenation Clinic are safe and natural cosmetic dermal fillers that restore volume and fullness to the skin, resulting in the correction, reductions, and often elimination of facial wrinkles and folds. Those same industry standard products are also used in lip enhancement.
Fillers are made of non-animal-based hyaluronic acid; a natural substance that already exists in the human body. The hyaluronic acid comes in the form of a crystal-clear gel called Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid. They are injected directly into the skin in tiny amounts through an ultra-fine needle. Anesthetic solution can be applied as a skin cream or by injection in some cases. The procedure is simple and offers visible results right away.
At Northern Rejuvenation Clinic, we pride ourselves in creating an artistic accentuation of the individual's strengths, while minimizing any flaws. This may range from a subtle filling of the lips to a more dramatic creation of natural cheek lines.
This innovative treatment is approved in the U.S. and Canada for the treatment of facial wrinkles and folds.
HOW LONG DO FILLERS LAST?
Fillers often last for 9-12 months, but it is variable depending on the amount injected and the area. For example, lips fillers wear off sooner, since we are using them so much!
