Filler & Hyaluronic Acid Injections in Burlington

As time passes, the collagen levels in our skin begin to decrease. This protein is essential for maintaining firmness and volume, and a lack of collagen can cause unwanted sagging and hollowness. The result is often a tired, aging appearance that does not match how you feel on the inside. In order to make up for that lack of collagen, our team of injectors provides filler in Burlington that can restore lost volume. We customize a treatment plan for you to restore lost volume and give you back a refreshed and confident appearance.

Although these injectables are able to maintain your facial volume for up to 18 months, you can enjoy your results indefinitely with regular maintenance appointments.

At Cosmedica Aesthetics, we evaluate your whole face. We look at the facial structures and causes of the lines rather than just filling the lines. The mid-face is one of the most common areas to inject first. Loss of volume in this area contributes to deeper smile lines, downward mouth corners, and sagging in the jawline. We also address volume loss around the eyes that contributes to a “tired look” and dark circles. For any lines related to muscle movement, such as the frown, forehead, or “crow’s feet” aka lines around the eyes, we use a slightly different treatment called Botox. This will smooth the creases in a very natural-looking way.

In recent years, there has also been growing interest in treating areas of the body with filler, such as your hands. This allows for a smoother and more youthful appearance and minimizes the appearance of veins and bony structures. When you visit us for filler in Burlington, we can help you redefine your entire look.

This number varies from patient to patient. Your unique aesthetic concerns will require a unique amount of filler. The brand and type of filler are also factors in how many injections you receive.

If you want to address smaller concerns like minor volume loss or fine lines, you may not need that many injections to achieve the results you want. This also applies to patients who are looking to use filler proactively against future signs of aging. In contrast, more advanced wrinkles and sagging may require more filler to smooth out your skin.

During your consultation, you and our nurse injector discuss what your treatment will look like. This includes an estimate of how many injections you require.

There are two main categories of filler that we provide at Cosmedica: traditional fillers and biostimulators. All our traditional options are from the Teosyal line of fillers, while the biostimulators can either be Radiesse or Sculptra. These are the best quality brands on the market and can provide you with the safest, most natural-looking outcome. We select the most appropriate “tool” in our toolbox to address your concerns and give you a natural and refreshed appearance.

• Traditional fillers:
  • RHA 1 – As the mildest option in the Teosyal lineup, it is most suited for mild concerns. These include superficial fine lines on the forehead and around the mouth. Even your lips can look softer and more hydrated. You can also treat neckbands and décolleté lines with this filler.
  • RHA 2 – Moderate dynamic wrinkles like smile lines stand no chance against the formulation of RHA 2. This filler has a stretchier feel to it, making it one of the options patients select when they want a natural look.
  • RHA 3 – Advanced wrinkles that cast shadows around your mouth and chin often meet their match when introduced to this filler. This choice is also popular among younger patients who want to add volume to their cheeks without too many individual injections. It is also a popular option for patients who would like a more voluminous lip enhancement.
  • RHA 4 – When you want to fill in larger areas of hollowness rather than individual lines, RHA 4 is the best choice. No need to worry about compromising your unique expressions with an overdone treatment! Our professionals have you covered with advanced injection skills.
  • Redensity II – This is a special product that is designed for the delicate eye area, making it a popular filler in Burlington for older patients. It includes a blend of antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins along with hyaluronic acid to gently and effectively address eye hollows, dark circles, and fine lines around the eyes.
  • Ultra Deep – This is the thickest traditional filler, mimicking the bone structures found beneath the skin’s surface. It lasts the longest, and you do not need much of it for full results.
• Biostimulators
  • Radiesse – Rather than use hyaluronic acid for its base like traditional fillers, Radiesse is made with calcium hydroxylapatite. This provides immediate volume while also encouraging your body’s natural healing response over time for firmer skin. We can also use this product to address crepey skin around the body (i.e. arms, tummy, upper knees, and buttocks).

Sculptra – Like Radiesse, Sculptra uses a special ingredient for its base: poly-L-lactic acid. This filler creates a stronger skin foundation as time goes on, naturally improving your skin quality.
