Restylane, Hylaform®, and Softform
Restylane - Toronto, Ontario
In addition to BOTOX® Cosmetic, Restylane is another recent injectable used in our Toronto practice. It’s a natural material made of hyaluronic acid, which is present in all living organisms. It is used to smooth fine lines and wrinkles and to enhance the lip by working together with the body's own hyaluronic acid to create volume.
Restylane is not extracted from animals and therefore there is no risk of allergic reaction.
Our Restylane patients in Ontario find that the enhanced results last up to one year. The duration of improvement is very individual and depends on many factors such as lifestyle, age, and the individual's own skin characteristics. For the majority of patients, 50 to 80 percent of the effect remains after six months, and touchup can be done as necessary.
Hylaform® - Available at our Toronto office
Hylaform® is one of the new injectable materials used for our Ontario patients who don't have the time to undergo a more permanent correction for wrinkles and scars. It’s a viscoelastic gel which allows quick, easy, and immediate correction without the need for a skin test. It is injected into the skin in a painless manner to lift wrinkles, fine lines, furrows, and acne scars.
Hylaform® is ideal as a quick fix. Top-up injections are needed every five to 12 months to maintain the desired level of correction.
Softform
Softform is a permanent implant material which has been used safely in other medical applications for more than 20 years. It is soft and pliable, and is used for smoothing facial wrinkles and frown lines, and to enhance the natural appearance and shape of your lips by providing a more defined lip border. It is implanted beneath the skin under local anaesthesia, and results are immediate. Swelling and bruising are usually mild and disappear in a short time, leaving a smoother skin surface.
