Overview

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Looking for dermal fillers in Richmond Hill? Our lip and facial fillers restore lost volume and balance your features with results planned to look natural.

Dermal fillers are gels, most often made of hyaluronic acid, a substance your skin already contains. Placed under the skin, they replace volume lost with age, soften deep folds and refine contours.

Because hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved if needed, they are a flexible, adjustable option. Your injector plans placement around your facial anatomy rather than a single line.

Fillers work best as part of a full cosmetic plan. Many patients pair them with Botox or Dysport for expression lines, and with PRF for under-eye skin quality. If skin texture is the main concern, RF microneedling may suit you better.

Treatment time: 30–45 minutes
Downtime: Minimal, 1–3 days
Sessions: Usually 1, then maintenance
Results: Immediate

What To Expect From Dermal Fillers

Who fillers suit, how to prepare, what happens on the day and how results develop.

A good fit if:

  • You have lost volume in the cheeks, temples or lips
  • You want a natural, gradual refresh
  • You prefer a reversible option

Talk to us first if:

  • You are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • You have an active infection or cold sore near the area
  • You have a major event in the next 2 weeks (allow time for swelling to settle)
  • For one week before, avoid Aspirin, Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) and Aleve, and supplements such as St. John’s Wort, Ginkgo Biloba, primrose oil, garlic, ginseng and vitamin E, if your doctor agrees.
  • Stop tretinoin (Retin-A), retinol, glycolic acid and other anti-aging products 2 days before, and avoid waxing, bleaching or tweezing the area.
  • Do not drink alcohol for 24 hours before treatment.
  • Arrive with a clean face and no makeup.
  • Tell us if you get cold sores so we can help you manage the risk of a flare.

We clean and mark the skin, then place the filler in small amounts, checking symmetry as we go. Most products contain numbing medicine to keep you comfortable.

  • Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness or bruising at injection points is common for a few days; an ice pack for 15 minutes can help.
  • Avoid intense heat (sun, hot tubs, saunas) for 72 hours and strenuous exercise for 12 hours.
  • Sleep on your back for 4 nights and avoid pressing on the treated area.
  • Limit alcohol and salty food to reduce bruising and swelling.
  • Wait at least 1 week before a facial and 4 weeks before any laser treatment. Contact us if you develop a cold sore.
  • Day 0: result visible; some swelling.
  • Days 1–3: swelling and any bruising peak, then settle.
  • Week 2: filler settles; review visit if needed.
  • Months 6–18: gradual softening; plan a top-up.

Results are visible right away and settle over about two weeks. Depending on the product and area, fillers last from about 6 to 18 months.

  • Swelling, tenderness and bruising for a few days
  • Small lumps that usually settle or can be massaged
  • Rare but serious: filler blocking a blood vessel. Trained injectors know the anatomy to avoid this and how to treat it quickly

We go through the risks for your skin type at your consultation.

How Much Do Dermal Fillers Cost In Richmond Hill?

What affects the price:

  • Whether treatment is staged over visits

Most hyaluronic acid fillers last about 6 to 18 months, depending on the product and area treated.

Yes. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved if needed, which makes them a flexible, adjustable option. Smaller changes can also be made at your review visit.

Most filler products contain numbing medicine, and most people feel only pressure or a brief pinch. Some tenderness for a few days afterward is common.

Fillers add volume to areas such as the cheeks, lips and deep folds, while Botox and Dysport relax the muscles that cause expression lines. They are often used together, and we plan the order and timing for you.

We plan placement around your facial anatomy and place filler in small amounts, checking symmetry as we go. A review visit lets us fine-tune the result if needed.

The cost of lip fillers depends on how many syringes you need; many patients need one. We confirm pricing at your consultation and give you a written plan and quote before treatment. Cosmetic treatments are not covered by OHIP.

Fillers have a good safety record in trained hands. Swelling, tenderness and bruising for a few days are common. A rare but serious risk is filler blocking a blood vessel, and our injectors know the anatomy to avoid this and how to treat it quickly.

Some under-eye hollows can be treated with filler, but it depends on your anatomy and skin. If skin quality is the main concern, PRF may be a better fit. We assess this at your consultation.

Our aim is a refreshed look rather than an obvious change. You may have some swelling or bruising for a few days, so book at least two weeks before a major event.

Yes. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved if you are unhappy with the result or if a complication occurs. We discuss whether this is right for you after an assessment.
