Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are made of Hyaluronic Acid (HA) which is a sugar molecule and a major structural component of our skin & joints. Hyaluronic acid also plays a pivotal role in wound healing. In addition, HA also holds up to 1000 times its weight in water providing moisture, softness, and volume for our skin. The safety and effectiveness of HA dermal fillers have made it the most widely used injected dermal filler product for cosmetic facial treatments that help hydrate and nourish the skin by providing volume. These treatments also help diminish fine lines and wrinkles. Dermal filler treatment areas include cheeks, lips, smile lines (aka. nasolabial folds), and temples. Treatments are completed with Registered Practitioners who are certified in Aesthetics.
Treatment Time: 30 mins - 45 mins

Dermal Fillers used for injections are both FDA & Health Canada-approved. Side effects may include bruising, swelling, redness, or tenderness around the injection areas.
Injections are completed by certified practitioners and when injections are administered appropriately, the adverse side effects are minimal. Education is provided to all clients by practitioners regarding side effects, adverse side effects, and pre and post-care.
We encourage all clients to book a complimentary consultation to determine the required amount for treatment that is recommended by the provider. Every individual requires customized treatments because various factors are considered during the consultation. Some contributing factors include:
- Treatment area(s) being treated (each area requires a different amount of dermal filler)
- Desired Result
- Last injection procedure
- Depth of wrinkles
- Amount of Volume loss
- Facial shape and features
Dermal Filler results are visible immediately following your treatment and gradually improve within a few weeks after treatment. Final results would be assessed at the 2-week follow-up appointment from your initial treatment. Dermal Fillers can last anywhere from 8 months to 2 years, depending on the Dermal Filler that was used for treatment. Longeveity depends on various factors which include:
- Age of client
- Metabolism
- Treatment area
- Quality of filler
- Dosing amount
- Hydration
- Diet and Lifestyle
- UV Exposure
- Skincare routine
- Illness and stress
