Dermal Fillers in Toronto & North York
During the natural aging process, the skin begins to lose volume and elasticity, resulting in unwanted lines and sagging. This loss of volume, combined with the effects of gravity, contributes to a less youthful appearance.
Dermal Fillers in Toronto
The most popular dermal fillers are considered to be hyaluronic acid-based injectable fillers. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring substance found within your skin for moisture, flexibility and elasticity. Hyaluronic acid-based fillers have the ability to absorb water from surrounding tissues to help plump up facial areas. They also promote collagen production and retention to help decrease visible lines and wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers are considered non-allergenic and their effects are reversible.
After a careful assessment, our Dr. Delgado will determine which dermal filler is most suitable for your particular case based on your concerns.
