Before & After

Dermal Fillers are injectable gel-like substances designed to restore lost volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance the natural contours of your face. They are primarily made of hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the skin that helps maintain hydration and structure.

At The Face Institute, we use leading brands such as Restylane®, Teoxane®, Juvederm®, and Revanesse® to ensure safe, effective, and tailored results. These fillers deliver a natural, youthful appearance without the need for surgery, and treatments are customized based on your unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.

The duration of Dermal Filler results typically ranges from 3 to 5 years, depending on factors like the type of filler used, the treatment area, and your body’s metabolism. Areas with more movement, like the lips, tend to have shorter-lasting results—usually around 1 to 2 years.

Regular maintenance sessions are recommended to keep your results looking fresh and natural over time. Your provider will help you determine the best schedule for touch-ups to maintain your desired look.

Yes, Dermal Fillers are both FDA and Health Canada-approved, and considered safe when performed by licensed and experienced professionals. The procedure is minimally invasive and involves very little downtime.

Most side effects are mild and temporary, typically involving slight redness, swelling, or bruising around the injection sites. Our medical experts follow strict protocols to minimize risks and are trained to handle any rare complications that may arise.

Absolutely! Dermal Fillers complement other aesthetic treatments beautifully, including Anti-Wrinkle injections like Botox®, Dysport®, Nuceiva®, and Xeomin®. They also pair well with microneedling and other skin rejuvenation procedures.

Combining treatments can provide enhanced facial harmony by addressing volume loss, wrinkles, and skin texture simultaneously. Our experts will design a customized treatment plan that aligns with your personal goals and overall skincare routine.

Results from Dermal Fillers are visible immediately after the injection, with noticeable volume restoration and contour improvement. Some mild swelling or bruising might initially mask the final look.

Full results typically develop over a few days as swelling subsides and the filler settles into place. Many patients enjoy their enhanced appearance instantly, making it a popular choice for quick, effective rejuvenation.

Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites, which usually resolve within a few days. These are normal reactions to the injection process and don’t typically cause discomfort.

More serious complications, such as allergic reactions or vascular occlusions, are rare when injections are performed by qualified professionals. Our team is trained to identify and manage such scenarios and will thoroughly review potential risks during your consultation.

Each Dermal Filler product has unique characteristics, such as viscosity, longevity, and flexibility, which make them suitable for different facial areas and purposes. For example, thinner fillers are often used for fine lines, while thicker fillers provide better support for cheek or jawline contouring.

During your consultation, our expert injectors will assess your facial structure, skin quality, and aesthetic goals to recommend the most appropriate filler type and treatment plan. This personalized approach ensures natural-looking and harmonious results.

The procedure is relatively quick, usually lasting between 30 to 60 minutes depending on the number of areas treated. Your provider will cleanse the treatment area and may apply a topical numbing cream to enhance comfort.

Using fine needles or cannulas, the filler is carefully injected into targeted facial zones. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and can return to their regular activities shortly after, with only minor redness or swelling expected as part of the healing process.
