Re-Shape and Lift Your Face in Toronto
Our faces are composed of four main structural components: skin, fat, muscle, and bone. The effects of aging begin to become visible when these building blocks lose some of their volume and support because of aging. Eventually, even with the best skin care routine, we all lose some skin elasticity and volume at some point in our lifetime. Injectable fillers at Toronto’s Avebelle Cosmetic Clinic are substances that are injected into the face to shape and lift the tissues for beautification or restoring volume. They correct a variety of concerns related to the skin and facial contours.

How Do Injectable Fillers Sculpt Your Face?
Injectable fillers, also known as soft tissue fillers or dermal fillers, are added beneath the skin to enhance the facial structure by providing soft volume. In our youth, we start off with a more V-shaped face with high, full cheeks that gently taper to a well-defined jawline. As your face loses fat and collagen due to aging, hollowing of the cheeks and undereye areas or sagging skin may occur, causing facial contours to be lost.
Sunken cheeks, undereye hollows, and skin laxity around the center of the face are concerns that can be addressed with injectable fillers. They improve balance and definition through non-invasive facial contouring.
A combination of fillers can be used to enhance contours in a natural looking way and improve facial proportions. By defining the angles of the face, especially the cheeks and jawline, injectable fillers give the face a fresh, youthful look.
They build a structure to sculpt the cheekbones and jawline, lift the cheeks, and plump lips. The filler placed strategically in the lower face creates the illusion of a slimmer jawline and neck. Static wrinkles occur when your skin becomes thinner. In addition to facial contouring, injectable fillers are also designed to reduce wrinkles by restoring volume.
These volumizing injectables work differently depending on which type is being used. Each type has its own unique density, longevity, and texture. Avebelle Cosmetic Clinic provides injectable fillers for the undereye areas, cheeks, jawline, lips, chin, laugh lines, marionette lines, and neck.

What Types of Injectable Fillers Are Available?
Semi-permanent, dissolvable hyaluronic acid (HA) injectable fillers are the most popular and well-known option. Your skin naturally makes its own hyaluronic acid to regulate hydration, as a way of keeping it supple and volumized. Fillers that contain HA as their primary ingredient are soft and have a gel-like texture.
HA fillers are commonly used to target all kinds of concerns, including scars, cheek depressions, deep nasolabial folds or furrows, marionette lines, thin lips, and smoker’s lines.
The other group of injectable fillers are called collagen stimulators. Calcium hydroxylapatite, which is a mineral-like compound that occurs naturally in human bones, is the active ingredient in Radiesse®. Sculptra® facial fillers are made with poly-L-lactic acid, a biodegradable synthetic material that was commonly used in dissolvable sutures. These injectable fillers promote the gradual regeneration of natural collagen in the skin.
Who is a Good Candidate for Injectable Fillers?
Men and women who are in good physical health, maintain a positive outlook, and have realistic expectations, are good candidates for injectable fillers. Patients should avoid taking blood thinners and drinking alcoholic beverages for at least a week prior to treatment.
Injectable Fillers Procedure Details
The procedure is almost the same for any type of injectable filler procedure. The nurse starts by examining your facial appearance and skin tone then marks off the planned treatment areas where fillers will be injected. The injection site is cleaned, then the nurse begins to inject, massage, and assess the results for each treatment area. Although treatments don’t cause much discomfort, a numbing cream or local anesthesia may be provided.
Results and Recovery from Injectable Fillers
As the materials that are used for injectable fillers will eventually be absorbed into the body and metabolized, the effects typically last for twelve to eighteen months and the areas might need to be retreated. The type of results you can achieve with fillers vary depending on the patient, which type of filler is used, and the goals of the patient. The recovery process is similar for all facial fillers.
Not much downtime is typically needed, and it will be safe to go back to your normal activities. In general, it is recommended that you avoid strenuous exercise, massaging your face on the treated area, excessive sun or heat exposure, and excessive intake of alcohol or salt for a few days. The lifespan of injectable fillers varies depending on which type has been used and the individual’s rate of filler breakdown.

Other Treatments That Complement Injectable Fillers
Avebelle Cosmetic Clinic also offers other cosmetic injectables, including neuromodulators. These injections work differently to facial fillers. Botox® are Dysport® are botulinum toxin type A injectables that target expression wrinkles caused by repetitive muscle contractions during facial expressions. They relax the facial muscles, so that wrinkles can’t form on the surface. Neuromodulators can be used in combination with fillers for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Laser-based photofacial treatments make the complexion more even by reducing unwanted pigmentation.
