Dental Cosmetic Injections
Cosmetic injections are materials injected under the skin to restore shape and add volume. Our skin changes due to sun exposure and other environmental factors as we age.
These small changes add up and our skin shows signs of aging, forming wrinkles and fine lines. Our bodies change as we age, and the collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid in our bodies, which provide support and flexibility to the skin, all begin to diminish. This leads to sagging and flattening of facial features.
This sagging and changes in skin elasticity, as well as increased muscle activity, can make your face look older than it really is. These include a sharp jawline and wrinkles between the nose and cheeks. Dermal fillers and cosmetic injections are in high demand in Port Moody today.
Aesthetic medicine is booming and many medical professionals are interested in expanding their expertise to include cosmetic injections and Botox in your area.
Anti-Wrinkle Injections
Using muscles to create facial expressions creates many facial lines. Creases formed between these formulas are called dynamic creases. For example, smiling makes eye wrinkles stand out, and frowning makes vertical lines between the eyebrows stand out.
Anti-wrinkle injections are natural, purified proteins that relax wrinkle-causing muscles, creating a rejuvenated appearance. Anti-wrinkle injections are prescription medications and treatments are only available to qualified physicians.
Anti-wrinkle injections can be used to relax certain facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles (the wrinkles that form during facial expressions). When the muscles are relaxed, they are no longer able to contract, preventing unwanted facial expressions.
Although the results are visible, anti-wrinkle injection treatments do not radically change the appearance of your face or make it look like it “worked.”
Lip Enhancement Injections
Lip augmentation is a cosmetic procedure that can create fuller, fuller lips. Today, injectable dermal fillers are the most commonly used method of lip enhancement.
There are many types of dermal fillers that can be injected around the lips and mouth. However, the most common fillers today are products containing substances similar to hyaluronic acid, which is an endogenous substance. Helps add volume to your lips.
These types of dermal fillers are sometimes called “hyaluronic acid fillers”. Collagen, once the most popular dermal filler, is now used less frequently. Newer options are safer and have longer-lasting effects.
Fat grafting and implants are other ways to plump your lips. However, it is used less frequently today due to variable results and a high risk of side effects.
The advantages of using hyaluronic acid fillers are:
- Lip volume control
- Gradual treatment
- Defects are easily eliminated
- Fewer bruises
- Pretty permanent results
