| Laser Derm in Red Deer offers Filler for wrinkle reduction and adding volume to reverse sagging skin. Wrinkle reduction and the correction of skin defects using injectable materials is not a new concept. For several decades we have witnessed the emergence on the market of various wrinkle reduction implants. Wrinkle Reduction Filler is used in the long-term cosmetic correction of natural or acquired skin depressions (caused by aging, trauma) or for the creation of volume (lips, sunken cheekbones). Filler is also used for the correction of post-scar depressions. It provides an affordable aesthetic solution to invasive plastic surgery, offering volume filling (to reverse sagging) in target areas with injectable product, enabling the patient to continue activities after leaving the clinic upon completion of the cosmetic procedure. Filler is where art meets science - a blend of technical skill and artistic flair. In Canada Filler is a controlled substance and can only be injected by a Physician or a Registered Nurse under the guidance of an M.D. | ||
Types of Filler |
||
 |
||
| Laser Derm and Wellness Centre uses Juvéderm™ "next generation" dermal filler made from hyaluronic acid — a naturally occurring sugar that is found in every cell of the human body. Juvéderm™ attracts water in the skin to restore lost volume, smooth out lines and wrinkles and enhance areas (such as lips and cheekbones). Juvéderm™’s smooth gel provides visible results and is long-lasting and natural-looking. Both Juvéderm™ Ultra and Ultra Plus both contain lidocaine (anesthetic), providing painless injection. | ||
 |
||
| Laser Derm and Wellness Centre also uses Radiesse® another type of natural filler (derived from human calcium). The best way to achieve wrinkle reduction (reverse sagging skin) is by replenishing lost volume. With Radiesse® wrinkle filler, you welcome back your own natural collagen to smooth out the signs of aging. That's because Radiesse® wrinkle filler's unique formulation stimulates collagenesis – the production of new collagen – which results in increased volume for natural looking wrinkle correction that may last a year or more in many patients. The new tissue developed does not allow the treated area to go back to the original deteriorated look. Radiesse® is often a preferred choice when the face requires more sculpting. | ||

Juvéderm™ VOLUMA™ is an injectible hyaluronic volumiser that can reshape the face restoring volume to cheeks, cheekbones and chin areas that have become sunken or thinner and reduced in fullness due to weight loss, genetics or aging. Immediately after treatment, you will notice that your facial features look fuller giving your face a softer, more youthful appearance. Juvéderm™ VOLUMA™ is long-lasting and has been shown to last up to 18 months! Perhaps the best indicator of the advantages and benefits of treatment with Juvéderm™ VOLUMA™ is the reviews given by those who have recieved treatments. A study showed that at 6 to 18 months after treatment, all study participants rated their results as positive! Juvéderm™ VOLUMA™ was specifically developed to restore lost facial volume (e.g. in the cheeks, cheekbones, and chin). While wrinkle fillers like Juvéderm® ULTRA offer excellent results when applied to fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth, nose, and eyes, Juvéderm Ultra Plus and Juvéderm™ VOLUMA™ is often better suited to larger scale facial volumising. Dr. Bakken has specific training in using cosmetic facial volumising products and has established expertise in these procedures. The type of Filler used depends on the location and the expected result that the physician is wanting to achieve. The different types of Fillers provide various desired results for any given area. |

| HOW IT WORKS | ||
| Wrinkle reduction fillers such as Juvederm are injected into fine lines, deep lines or superficial defects adding volume to the areas, in turn pushing the wrinkles “out” evening out the contour of the skin and reversing sagging skin. Wrinkle reduction fillers are a non-surgical procedure reversing deep, persistent wrinkles for a more youthful, aesthetically pleasing appearance. The results are immediate and this cosmetic procedure is so simple and quick, many patients can receive it during the lunch hour and return to their daily activity immediately. Through time, natural fillers break down in the body and disappear from the treated area. Therefore - there is no concern the filler will migrate or be absorbed into other areas of the body. | ||
