Feel More Confident with Minimally Invasive Facial Rejuvenation Treatments in Toronto
It goes without saying that our appearance is important to our self-esteem. Our face goes through changes, such as a reduction in volume, and wrinkles may eventually develop over time. “Injectables” is an umbrella term for cosmetic treatments that involve products being delivered into the skin or body through injections. Wrinkle injections like neurotoxins and facial fillers are cosmetic procedures that help to reverse the common effects of aging. These treatments are minimally invasive, meaning that no surgery is required. With injectables from Toronto’s Avebelle Cosmetic Clinic, patients can restore a more youthful, smooth, and glowing results. As injectable fillers and neurotoxins have different uses and can be complementary, they can be combined to optimize facial rejuvenation results.

What Are Dermal Fillers?
Injectable facial fillers, also known as dermal fillers, are soft tissue filler treatments that fill out and hide wrinkles. They are injected beneath the surface of the skin and work by reducing the depth of wrinkles, they make the skin smoother and younger looking. They also can add structure, framework, and volume to the face.
Dermal fillers are mostly designed for the center and lower two-thirds of the face such as around the mouth, lips, cheeks, jawline, and chin but there are some that can reduce hollowness around the eyes. Fillers correct static wrinkles, which are ones that remain permanently on the skin.
What Are Neurotoxins?
Facial fillers aren’t the same as neurotoxins such as Botox® and Dysport®. Unlike facial fillers, neurotoxins, which are also known as neuromodulators, are injections of a diluted, purified protein called botulinum toxin type A that is derived from a bacterium.
These injectables only work on dynamic wrinkles, which are caused by muscle movements involved in our repetitive facial expressions. Each time we squint, smile, frown, chew, or during other facial expressions, our skin is stretched and pulled. Some examples include “11s” between the brows, crow’s feet, bunny lines on the nose, and forehead wrinkles. Neurotoxins work by temporarily relaxing tense facial muscles so that wrinkles can’t form on the skin.
What Types of Injectables Are Available for Skin Rejuvenation?
Two types of botulinum toxin type A injections are available at Avebelle Cosmetic Clinic for reducing dynamic wrinkles, treating excessive sweating, and enhancing facial symmetry: Botox® and Dysport®. These injectables are very similar and work the same way by relaxing facial muscles but have some minor differences that may make one better suited for an individual than the other.
Hyaluronic acid injectables are the most popular facial fillers. These have a smooth gel consistency. Biostimulatory injections like Radiesse® and Sculptra® are longer-lasting fillers that work differently to hyaluronic acid types. These injectables stimulate the growth of the skin’s natural collagen to gradually replenish volume.
How to Choose the Most Suitable Injectable for You
Each injectable serves a different purpose and many of them can only be used on select areas of the face. Our experienced nurse injectors and physicians can help you choose which one is best for your specific concerns.
Who is a Good Candidate for Injectables?
You may be an ideal candidate for injectable fillers or neurotoxins if your general health is good, you have realistic goals and expectations for how your appearance can be improved, and you have mild to severe facial wrinkles.
Injectables Procedure Details
Facial fillers and neurotoxin treatments usually only take a few moments to be completed. The entire process may take just fifteen minutes or less. A very thin needle is used to deliver botulinum toxin type A injections to the specific, wrinkle-producing muscles.

Results and Recovery from Injectable Neurotoxins and Fillers
The results appear instantly for facial fillers, but it may take up to five days for the results from botulinum toxin treatments to show. Neurotoxin injections typically last for three to four months. The lifespan of injectable dermal fillers varies depending on which type is used by it may range from six months to two years on average.
Other Treatments That Complement Injectable Fillers
Avebelle Cosmetic Clinic provides skin resurfacing procedures to improve the general tone, texture, and appearance of the skin including photofacial that reduces unwanted pigmentation for a more even tone and spider vein removal to fade tiny varicose veins on the surface of the skin. Restylane Skinboosters is a type of mesotherapy treatment that increase the radiance and hydration of the skin through injections of potent ingredients. Microneedling and Power Peel treatments stimulate collagen and speed up skin cell turnover for an improved complexion.
