What is Hyaluronidase?
Hyaluronidase is a soluble protein enzyme that is typically used to break down the hyaluronic acid found in dermal filler injection treatments like Juvéderm® and Restylane. The solution works by breaking up — and helping the body to reabsorb — the filler introduced to the body during the hyaluronic acid injection. It accomplishes this by increasing tissue permeability, splitting the molecular bonds holding the hyaluronic acid together and promoting the natural cellular processes responsible for its diffusion.

Its ability to quickly disperse chemical agents makes hyaluronidase ideal for applying anaesthesia as well. For this reason it may […]
When compared to traditional hypodermic needles, blunt-tip microcannulae have been shown to significantly minimize patient bruising, reduce procedural pain during injectable fillers and help experienced medical injectors to conduct treatments with a greater level of flexibility.What are blunt-tip Microcannulae?The hypodermic needles traditionally used in injectable filler treatments are associated with higher rates of bruising, tissue damage, pain, multiple puncture wounds, vessel laceration and other undesirable consequences. The development of blunt-tip microcannulae, with a very small diameter, serves to alleviate these problems through an advanced design that improves on hypodermic needles while still effectively delivering fillers to a patient’s tissues.

Cosmetic anti-aging treatments that are better in achieving a revitalization and enhancement of your aging face focus on volume loss as well.The Aging Face Is Marked By Volume LossA 2008 study published the following year in the medical journal, Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, found that loss of various tissues and drooping (ptosis) of […]
Toronto cosmetic clients want to know, how old should you be before beginning treatment with dermal fillers? If you have begun to see creases, wrinkles or fine lines on your face, or if your lips are thinner and cheeks flatter than they used to be, then you are old enough to begin treatment with Dermal fillers. We have good reason to believe that regular treatment with dermal fillers, before lines become deep and set, may prevent them from deepening for longer. Recent scientific studies have shown that use of hyaluronic acid based dermal filler products, like Restylane and Juvederm, stimulate […]
It wasn’t long ago that lip fillers were not commonly done and the average cosmetic consumer wasn’t aware of the option to accent and volumize their lips in this way.

Depending on the type injected, results may last anywhere from six months to two years. Some semi-permanent or permanent fillers can last up to five years.
Dermal fillers made from hyaluronic acid are the most common. HA is a naturally occurring sugar found in the […]
