Injectables in Mississauga
An injectable is any minimally invasive treatment that cosmetically enhances certain areas of the face and body by providing more volumized, attractive contours or through wrinkle elimination. To help patients accomplish these results, New You in Mississauga offersdermal fillersandDysport– a longer-lasting version of toxin. Dermal fillers are administered into the dermis of the skin- providing hydration, rigid, yet flexible support for the skin, and increased collagen. Neuromodulators, like Dysport, are administered into facial muscles, effectively relaxing contractions and improving the texture and overall appearance of the overlying skin. When you schedule a consultation at New You, your injector will go over your options for how you can attain rejuvenated, smoother skin with minimal downtime.

Dermal Filler Options
New You’s series of dermal fillers are all Health Canada-approved and biocompatible with your skin, but each one is designated to treat specific signs of aging and lasts a specific amount of time. Consult a New You professional on which one may be most suitable for you.
Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring compound that serves to lubricate several areas of the body, including the skin, eyes, joints, and several other areas. (1) It has a unique ability to attract and bind to water, facilitating a plumping effect on the skin and reducing fine lines and folds. At our practices, we offer several variations of HA fillers:
- Amalian hyaluronic acid fillers
- Restylane
- Perlane
Depending on the formulation of your choice and your metabolism, HA fillers can last anywhere from 4 months to 1 year.
Biostimulatory Fillers
Another group of injectables consists of biostimulatory fillers that primarily work by triggering long-term connective protein production. As the skin metabolizes these types of fillers, it causes an inflammatory response in which the skin boosts its production of fibroblast cells. An increase in these types of cells causes an influx of collagen and elastin fibres. At New You, we have:
- Radiesse contains a compound found in our bones, calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), and a plant-based gel microsphere carrier, carboxymethylcellulose.
- Bellafill contains polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), a polymer that has been shown to maintain anti-aging results for up to 5 years.
- Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), another polymer that can last about twice as long as hyaluronic acid fillers.
Just like HA fillers, biostimulatory fillers are slowly metabolized over time, but they tend to take longer to fully settle in and provide results.
Dysport
Dysport is a neuromodulator that contains botulinum toxin, a protein that changes how the neurotransmitter acetylcholine acts within the targeted muscle. Acetylcholine makes muscle contraction happen, so any alteration with Dysport can provide the slight changes needed to smooth out unwanted wrinkles. Botulinum toxin has been studied for its effects on resolving muscular spasm disorders, chronic migraines, bladder incontinence, and even excessive sweating- also known as hyperhidrosis. (2) As a practice that acknowledges the latest research, New You offers excessive sweating solutions for patients suffering from the embarrassment of hyperhidrosis.
