No two people age the same way
Just as everyone’s skin is different, everyone ages differently, with wrinkles appearing at different depths and locations on the face.  By offering a range of fillers with Optimal Balance Technology^™ for use in different layers of the skin including EMERVEL^® Classic, EMERVEL^® Deep, EMERVEL^® Volume and EMERVEL^® Lips, physicians can tailor treatment to specific skin needs.⁴ Delivering an excellent combination of tolerability and aesthetic outcomes whatever the depth, area and volume correction, EMERVEL fillers integrate completely and gently into different layers of the skin for natural-looking results that last up to 18 months.^{1, 3, 5, 6}

According to Vancouver dermatologist Dr. Frances Jang, EMERVEL^® represents an exciting innovation in the evolution of the safest class of dermal fillers.  “Hyaluronic fillers mimic normal skin structure and function and the Emervel line in particular provides a safe cosmetic dermal enhancement applicable to many areas of the face.  With over 500,000 treatments in Europe since 2008, these numbers speak to its long term safety, efficacy and tolerability. Looking your best without appearing overdone is possible with Emervel,” says Dr. Jang.

Grace in Aging Survey results⁷

According to the recent survey Grace in Aging, commissioned by Galderma Canada and conducted by Harris Poll, which surveyed Canadian women between the ages of 35 and 65 about their facial appearance and aging, half (52%) of respondents are worried (very or somewhat) about the signs of facial aging. In fact, some of the top concerns when it comes to facial aging include sagging skin (51%) and deep wrinkles (43%). 

And our pervasive camera culture, especially as a result of selfies and social media has women even more concerned about their facial appearance, with 41% of respondents citing it as a top contributor to anxiety over their aging face.  Interestingly, the majority of surveyed women only want to turn back the clock an average of 11 years, in an attempt to freeze their appearance at what they perceive to be their optimal “beautiful” age.

The good news is that most Canadian women feel empowered to make decisions about how they age, independent of outside pressure.  Although they are very/somewhat strongly influenced by spouses (52%), family (42%) and mass media (13%) when it comes to making decisions about their facial appearance, the majority (79%) want to make decisions about how they age on their own terms.  And among the 1 in 4 women who would consider using a cosmetic facial injection, they want it to be safe (89%), provide natural looking results (83%) and be long lasting (73%).

If Canadian women choose a “little help” to address their facial appearance, EMERVEL^® a non-invasive and safe dermal filler is now available to address their identified concerns by offering access to long-lasting and youthful-looking skin.

About the EMERVEL^® range of fillers
From the distributors of Restylane^®, the most-studied dermal filler in the world and used in over 20 million treatments worldwide⁸, the EMERVEL^® range of fillers is specifically designed to best match the different facial areas to provide physicians the most appropriate filler for a tailor-made correction approach.

For ultimate patient comfort, all the EMERVEL formulations are available with lidocaine, a numbing agent.

EMERVEL^® Classic provides a medium lifting effect, and is commonly used to treat moderate wrinkles and lines – for example nose to mouth lines (nasolabial folds).

EMERVEL^® Deep offers a solution for deep wrinkles/folds or to replace lost volume under the skin. Ideal for use on deep nose to mouth lines (nasolabial folds) and sad mouth corners (marionette lines).

EMERVEL^® Volume is the solution for enhancing and restoring lost facial volume to areas such as your cheeks. EMERVEL^® Volume restores and adds support to the skin’s structure giving a smoother, fuller and more youthful appearance.

EMERVEL^® Lips can subtly enhance the fullness of the lip body and add definition to the border to create soft, natural looking lips.
