Want dermal filler without the bruising?

Written by

Dermal filler, or Juvederm is one of my favourite tools to rejuvenate the face. I love the way it smooths lines or lifts sunken areas to make you look more youthful, while retaining a natural appearance.  I like that it doesn’t affect movement of your face so your expression remains unchanged. The one downside of dermal filler is that it can cause bruising. With the busy lives we all lead now, the downtime associated with bruising is sometimes unacceptable. Now, with the use of a “blunt cannula” we can freshen your face with dermal fillers with minimal risk of bruising. A great result, without the downtime.
