Dermal Fillers
Revanesse® and Restylane® are both Health Canada approved dermal fillers; volumizing substances containing hyaluronic acid found naturally in the skin. These products restore volume loss, enhance facial contours, and smoothens lines. As we age we lose the fat in our face that anchors our skin. We can add conservative filler to restore the lost volume, improve asymmetries, and create balance.
