How to get the natural look with injectables

Once upon a time, injectables left many people with frozen-looking faces, over-filled lips and plumped-up cheeks. Today, a natural look is the new normal, with effortless non-invasive treatments that can take years off your face.

The goal is to still look like you, just refreshed. You know, like you did before the signs of aging started to appear.

As we age, the bone and fat pads under the skin that act as scaffolding start to thin. This makes the skin sag like a deflated balloon and look drawn, tired and wrinkled.

Every face ages differently. Some people notice their cheeks flattening in their 30s, while others keep that desired “apple” roundness well into their 70s.

Our effective, non-invasive neuromodulator injections and range of dermal fillers address these signs of aging and refresh your appearance by smoothing away unwanted lines and bringing back the natural contours of your face.

Using neuromodulators

Neuromodulators are the number one anti-aging cosmetic treatment, not only in Edmonton but in the world. Their ability to smooth wrinkles and suspend future aging while in effect makes them the most highly sought-after cosmetic treatment to freshen your appearance. They smooth the lines that can make you look angry or sad, for a younger-looking, well-rested appearance.

A neuromodulator is a biocompatible protein that creates natural-looking rejuvenation by suspending the facial contractions that form and deepen lines and wrinkles. In the hands of our skilled injectors, it smooths wrinkles while still allowing facial movement and natural expression. You will look like you, only fresher.

Neuromodulators are best for lifting and opening your eyes near the arch of the brows, and for softening crow’s feet and the lines around your mouth. They can also smooth out the neck and jawline with good lift.

Using fillers

Dermal fillers are one of the most dramatic ways to reverse the signs of aging, enhance facial features and restore balance through facial sculpting. Our talented injectors are known for their artistic vision, often surprising our patients with results that exceed their expectations.

Using hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in the human body, dermal fillers fill out skin depressions to create a smooth, light-reflective surface that is youthful and flattering. Effective on lines, wrinkles, creases, furrows, hollows and indentations, dermal fillers reduce the expression lines that make us look angry or sad, for a refreshed, more beautiful appearance.

Sometimes neuromodulators and dermal fillers are used together to create the natural appearance you’re hoping for.

Tips for a more natural look

Aside from choosing a reputable med spa for your treatments, there are other things you should know to get a natural look from injectables.

Learn to love your face

You are uniquely you. Embrace that and try to find something you love about your face, whether it’s your eyes, the shape of your brows or even how your hair frames it. You’ll be happier when you do.

Every face needs its own balance

You and your best friend might have the same problem area, but even the same specialist may need to treat each of you with a different approach because of your facial structure.

Take it slow

One of the biggest mistakes people make is trying to overcorrect with injectables in one visit. Letting the injectables settle reveals the true results, which gives you a more youthful, rested and lasting look.

Consider other options too

If your face isn’t all that aged, it might be best to hold off on injectables for a bit. A great alternative is the PRP facial, also known as the vampire facial. It takes your own blood, extracts the plasma and applies it to your face after microneedling, a two-pronged approach that treats the surface as well as deep down. This might be all the refreshment your face needs, or it can be balanced out with injectables afterward if need be.
