Lip Enhancement, Lip Augmentation & Lip Plumping

We all have a good idea of what make for attractive lips, and they rely on fullness, softness and smoothness. Researchers have determined that there’s a scientific precedent for this, a 2006 issue of Dermatologic Therapy writing that one of the characteristics of a young, beautiful face is centred on a “soft, full appearance” (Soft tissue augmentation 2006: filler fantasy). Unfortunately, age takes away from the face’s natural beauty, robbing the lips of their youthful vitality and leaving them thinner and wrinkled. Edelstein Cosmetic can help you improve the appearance of your lips by providing you with a full range of […]

Juvederm<sup>®</sup> VOLUMA<sup>®</sup> – VYCROSS<sup>™</sup> technology

VOLUMA® is the newest member of the Juvéderm® family. It is designed to restore facial contours that have been negatively affected by a long-neglected sign of aging: volume loss. Aging does more to your face than add a few wrinkles here and there; it causes the face to sag and hollow due to the re-distribution of fat and the changes that occur to the facial skeleton. While other products only smooth away wrinkles and creases (considered to be a “two-dimensional” concern because it only affects the skin’s surface), VOLUMA® takes on the more complex, three-dimensional issue of volume loss for a […]

Juvéderm<sup>®</sup> vs. Restylane<sup>®</sup>

Injectable fillers are products that add volume to facial contours. Also known as dermal fillers, the current market leaders are Juvéderm® and Restylane®. Juvéderm® and Restylane® are manufactured by two different medical companies (Allergan and Medicis) but share many similarities, including price. Both are based on the therapeutic benefits of purified hyaluronic acid, derived from non-animal sources, which means that there is no risk of an allergic reaction or transmission of disease. Juvéderm® and Restylane® address the following aesthetic concerns affecting the face: Forehead creases Under eye hollows Hollow cheeks Lack of definition of the nose tip Nasolabial folds Insufficient lip volume or asymmetry Vertical lip lines Marionette lines (creases […]

Juvéderm<sup>®</sup> Facial Filler

Juvéderm® is North America’s most popular facial filler and is more popular than Restylane. It consists of a smooth gel formulated with hyaluronate (aka HA), a substance that aids the skin in maintaining proper hydration and volume. The substance is also responsible for giving the eyes their shape and lubricating the joints. HA is a naturally occurring linear polysaccharide that is able to bind 1,000 times its volume in water. When healthy amounts of HA are present in the body, spaces that exist between elastin and collagen fibres are sufficiently filled to provide a good supportive structure to your skin. As […]

Everything You Need to Know About Getting Lip Fillers

Lip augmentation with lip or dermal fillers is a cosmetic procedure available to individuals that are interested in achieving fuller, plumper lips. Although it is a temporary solution for thin lips, it can last as long as three months to a year.Doctors typically recommend using lip fillers that have hyaluronic acid as the main component. Most formulas contain the same essential ingredients with slight variations to the duration and density of the filler, and many contain lidocaine, to reduce the discomfort of the treatment. For example, Restylane offers a lip filler that is effective in increasing the overall volume of […]

Dermal Fillers as Treatment for Acne Scarring

Many people are becoming aware of just how versatile cosmetic dermal fillers can be when it comes to restoring lost facial volume, filling lines and wrinkles or enhancing full, kissable lips. It may be less well known, however, that facial scars can be minimized with the use of dermal fillers. Acne scarring, in particular, responds well to the precision application of dermal fillers. Hyaluronic acid is a polysaccharide found naturally in the skin and our connective tissue. Hyaluronic acid is hydrophilic – drawing water into itself and binding it to form a viscous substance which assists in hydration and skin elasticity. […]

Botox & Juvederm Treatments in Toronto: Finding a Skilled Medical Professional

Botox and Juvederm can both help revitalize your face, making your skin look like it’s 10-20 years younger by reducing or eliminating wrinkles. Finding a qualified professional to give you the treatment, however, is a whole different ballgame. Since the laws are fuzzy on who is and isn’t allowed to administer these types of treatments, it can be hard to tell if you’ll be getting a job well done or a job that’s botched. Finding a skilled medical professional is an important step in your Botox or Juvederm treatments. So, how can you go about finding the right person in Toronto […]

Avoiding the “Trout-Pout” | Here Are the Different Surgical and Non-Surgical Lip Augmentation Options

As a result, many individuals decide to undergo cosmetic procedures to improve their lips for a more youthful appearance. With the help of an experienced professional, lip enhancements can yield amazing, natural results.
