Dermal fillers: Everything you need to know! | Edelstein Cosmetic

Dr. Andrea Herschorn, from Edelstein Cosmetic, tells you what you need to know about fillers. What are they? Where can they be used and what are they useful for? The most popular types of facial injectable fillers consist of hyaluronic acid which is a naturally occurring substance in your body. Typically, this keeps your skin looking supple, smooth and plump but your production of Hyaluronic acid can reduce over time and with age. Unfortunately, this means that wrinkles and skin sagging becomes more visible. As they age, people may find that their lips appear thinner, cheeks more deflated and lines may appear in areas like the nasal labial folds or, "laugh lines". Marionette lines refer to the downward creases which can develop at the corners of the mouth. You may have heard of, "Smoker's lines" which radiate out from the lips and plenty of non-smokers have them. This can cause your lipstick to spread out into the lines and age your smile. The cheeks are another popular location for filler, providing a structural lift and smooth, youthful fullness. Popular brands used at Edelstein Cosmetic are Juvederm, Restylane, Voluma, Teosal and others. You can expect your results to last for 9 months, and up to 18 months depending on the type of filler, location on the face, and how your body metabolizes the product. Temporary side effects can include minor redness, bruising and sometimes swelling. You will see your results immediately and maximum results closer to 1-month post-treatment. We welcome you to book your consultation at Edelstein Cosmetic and find out if facial fillers are the best way to make the improvements you want.
