DERMAL FILLERS

 A Dermal Filler is a soft injectable gel filler that helps replenish and refresh your appearance by restoring lost volume and reducing fine lines and wrinkles.  It uses hyaluronic acid (a naturally occurring sugar found in your body), which combines with water in your skin.  Hyaluronic acid injections have also been shown to stimulate collagen production.  Treatments are quick, simple, comfortable and non-surgical.  Results are immediate leaving you looking and feeling instantly refreshed.  When strategically placed under the skin, Dermal Fillers will add volume and definition to your facial features while keeping your appearance natural looking, symmetrical and well-balanced.  Depending on what you want to accomplish, the simple treatment can be used for many different purposes.  It can be used to smooth existing lines, to restore lost volume in the cheeks, lips, temples, or to reshape noses and jaw lines among other things.  The treatment is comfortable thanks to a formulation (extra comfort) that includes lidocaine – a localized pain reliever.

Dermal fillers are injected directly under the skin using a fine needle.  At Ambrosia Cosmetic Clinic, a topical anesthetic is applied prior to the treatment in order to minimize any discomfort.  Also,  all dermal fillers used by our injector contain lidocaïne to ensure that the injection process is a more comfortable experience.
