Dermal Fillers
Hyaluronic acid fillers, such as Juvéderm® and Restylane® (long-lasting clear gels) are frequently used for filling and adding volume to facial lines, wrinkles, lips and cheeks. Restylane and Juvéderm are exceptionally popular among Ottawa patients because of the attractive, rejuvenating results. Dr. Howard Silverman's office specializes in skillfully injecting these fillers into the deep layers of the skin, where they work together with the body's own hyaluronic acid. Both collagen and the hyaluronic acid in Restylane and Juvéderm, which is almost identical to that found naturally in the body, are particularly effective in treating:
- Folds extending from the nose to the corner of the mouth
- Lip contour and volume
- Forehead wrinkles
- Lower eyelid hollows
- Augmenting the cheekbones

Collagen and Fillers Procedures
Facial fillers are performed with very little discomfort, have almost no downtime for recovery, are extremely safe and are highly effective at achieving desired results. The procedure can be repeated as many times as the patient desires as the results fade, and has no known long term negative effects. These fillers are ideal for someone who desires effective, rapid and safe results for facial enhancement with little to no recovery.
Collagen:
Collagen is a substance occurring naturally in the body, primarily in the skin, that diminishes as we age. By injecting collagen into the skin just under its surface, Dr. Silverman can enhance your skin's elasticity and vitality. You can enjoy the improvement immediately, and the results last 3 to 5 months.
Restylane and Juvéderm:
Dr. Silverman uses these clear, gel-like fillers to diminish wrinkles and increase volume in the face, rejuvenating your appearance and improving the contour of your facial features. Patients who choose Juvéderm (from the maker of BOTOX® Cosmetic)and Restylane in Ottawa are delighted to discover that these hyaluronic acid fillers enhance their appearance for 7 to 8 months.
During the consultation, Dr. Howard Silverman will help you decide which procedure will provide you with the desired results.
