What are
Dermal Fillers?
​
Dermal fillers are a hyaluronic acid based solution injected into the face or nearby regions to soften wrinkles and smooth fine lines. Hyaluronic
acid fillers such as Restylane® and Teosyal® are a Health Canada approved treatment and a great alternative to plastic surgery.
HOW DO
Dermal Fillers Work?
Hyaluronic acid and collagen are abundant in youthful skin, reflecting few fine lines and wrinkles and ample amounts of natural volume. As we age, our supply of Hyaluronic acid in our skin declines, causing more fine lines and wrinkles to begin peeking through and signs of volume loss to begin. By injecting small amounts of hyaluronic acid into specific areas under your skin, we can help to reduce fine lines, wrinkles and other signs of aging.

Restylane®
& Teosyal®
Compounds such as Restylane® and Teosyal® are Health Canada Approved Dermal Fillers that consist primarily of Hyaluronic Acid. As we age, our natural supply of Hyaluronic acid in our skin declines, causing more fine lines and wrinkles to begin peeking through and signs of volume loss to begin. Through treatments such as dermal fillers, we can supplement our skin's supply of Hyaluronic acid in order to reduce wrinkles and fine lines.​
​
Hyaluronic Acid-based fillers are so effective due to their ability to retain up to 1000 times their weight in water. When Hyaluronic Acid fillers are injected under the skin with a very fine needle or cannula, it produces natural appearing volume under wrinkles, lifting and smoothing folds, and improving the overall tone and complexion of the skin.
Should You Get
Dermal Fillers?
If you are tired-looking, seeing signs of loose skin, volume loss, wrinkles or lack of proportion then dermal fillers is your answer. Male or female 18-80, dermal fillers can be used to correct volume loss, enhance your facial features and enhance proportion.
​
Treatment with fillers such as Restylane® and Teosyal® can rejuvenate your face by reducing the appearance of wrinkles, lines and other signs of aging. If you are considering trying dermal fillers for the first time, we recommend booking a consultation with one of our technicians to help answer any questions you have.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
How Can Infrared Light Therapy Help with Pain Management?Poor circulation and the lack of oxygen and other essential molecules (i.e., glucose, Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)) in blood vessels can cause pain or a lack of sensation. Light energy stimulates the release of nitric oxide, causing blood vessels to increase in diameter (vasodilation) and allowing more blood flow, oxygen, and other important factors to be delivered. This increase in oxygen and nutrients, along with stimulation of the light energy emitted from Celluma LED devices increases ATP production, which activates pain relieving pathways. This decreases pain and inflammation, and increases tissue regeneration in the localized area.

How does anti-Aging Treatment with LED Light Therapy work?Now that we've established a base understanding of why collagen is essential as we age, let's look at the most groundbreaking and natural way to effectively generate more collagen in your body using the anti-aging effect of LED light therapy. Proven red and near-infrared wavelengths are utilized in the Celluma LED light therapy device to combat the signs of aging. These specific wavelengths of light energy are clinically verified to enhance your body's natural ability to generate collagen and elastin by activating the fibroblast cells. No prescriptions. No medications. No injections. No surgery. Just safe, natural wavelengths of effective, proven light energy.

How can Blue Light Therapy Eliminate Acne Faster?If you suffer from acne, it’s likely you’ve heard of light therapy as a possible solution to your pimple woes. LED blue light therapy is the new wave of skin care for people who have tried other acne treatments, but still aren’t seeing the results they want. Light therapy used to only be available at a dermatologist’s or aestheticians office, but with the advent of affordable, effective, at-home light therapy device design, blue light for acne is becoming a household treatment that’s non-toxic, non-invasive, and really, really effective. LED light therapy works by killing acne-causing bacteria at the source, deep beneath the skin’s surface. As people across the nation are searching for more natural, chemical-free alternatives to traditional medical solutions, light therapy fits the bill perfectly. Blue LED light therapy emits specific, clinically-proven wavelengths of light to trigger an all-natural effect in human tissue, killing acne-causing bacteria, decreasing inflammation, and improving skin tone, texture, and clarity from the inside out. However, not all light therapy is created equal. Blue and red LED light light-therapy is widely used as an effective option for the treatment of inflammatory acne. One study concluded that “…blue light and red light may act synergistically in improving acne by combining antibacterial and anti-inflammatory action, rendering phototherapy with blue and/or red light an effective and safe treatment for acne vulgaris.
