Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Dermal Fillers, Montreal Expert Dr. Manish Khanna
Juvéderm ™, Restylane ™, Teosyal ™
Hyaluronic Acid is a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration. An aging face results in a loss of or decrease in collagen, loss of fat (predominantly in the mid-face), and loss of bone in the face resulting in the appearance of wrinkles, creases, folds, a loss of elasticity and sunken skin.
HA dermal fillers have revolutionized cosmetic enhancement as these minimally invasive rejuvenation procedures require very little downtime and cause very little discomfort. The HA filler is injected just beneath the skin’s surface to create volume and a softer looking face; facial contours become smoother thus giving a more youthful look.
The success of this facial enhancement procedure depends on the injection technique, which varies with each type of filler, as it is both an art and a science. The physician must have a thorough understanding of HA fillers’ capabilities and limitations.
