As we age our face loses volume as fat and other tissue degenerate. With loss of collagen and elastin, gravity pulls down all areas of the face.  This creates sagging, sinking and general flattening of facial features.  As the aging process continues, forehead lines and nasolabial folds become more prominent, the eyebrow droops, lips tend to get thinner, marionette lines deepen and bone structures become more viable.

Cosmetic fillers can assist in restoring facial volume.  Fillers are injected under the skin to smooth facial wrinkles and folds, resulting in a fresher more youthful look.  Lips and lip lines can be enhanced with cosmetic fillers.

At LaZure Clinique, we use a series of different brand fillers.  Fillers are typically classified according to their contents or length of action.  At the time of consultation with Dr. Struwig, suitability of the different filler options will be discussed.

The Procedure

Fillers are injected under the skin with a fine needle. A numbing cream can be applied prior to procedure or in some cases a dental block can be done. Results are visible immediately and continue to improve over a 2-3 day period. After the procedure, some swelling, bruising, itching and minor discomfort can be expected. The procedure will take 30-45 min to do and  results will last between 4-24 months depending on the product used.  It is important to keep facial expressions to a minimum for 2-3 days after the treatment (no whistling, drinking from a straw or frowning). This will ensure stabilization of the filler in the injection site.
