Dermal Fillers in Montreal

About The Dermal Fillers Procedure:

Dermal fillers are products injected into the face to give additional volume or restore volume lost with facial aging. The most often used product is hyaluronic acid, a sugar already present in your body. When injected, it usually lasts between 6 months and 2 years. This is different from botulinum toxin, also known as neuromodulators, which paralyze muscles and erase wrinkles by smoothing out the skin.

Fillers are mainly used to volumize cheekbones, lips, dark under-eye circles, and the chin. We use them as well in the temples, the forehead, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, as well as for non-surgical rhinoplasty.

Fillers for facial rejuvenation usually do not cause any downtime and are performed in less than an hour by expert hands. The injection is usually painless. Topical numbing cream can be used in certain sensitive areas like the lips.

Recovery Time From Dermal Fillers:

Recovery time is minimal and most patients can resume work or school the same day. Avoid putting pressure on the injected area(s) for a week.

Risks of Dermal Fillers:

Minimal pain at the site of injection, bruising, redness, slight headache the same or next day, cosmetic dissatisfaction, asymmetries or lumpiness, infection, scar formation, nodules or granulomas at the site of injection, a true allergic reaction to hyaluronic acid, loss of vision, tissue necrosis.
