Dermal Fillers at Q Dermatology + Aesthetics Centre

Manage and treat vitiligo with personalized care at Q Dermatology + Aesthetics Centre. Our dermatologists provide advanced treatments to restore pigmentation and improve the appearance of affected areas.

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are gel-like substances injected beneath the skin to restore volume and fullness. As we age, our skin loses collagen and elastin, which can lead to the formation of wrinkles, sagging, and hollow areas, particularly around the eyes, cheeks, and mouth. Dermal fillers help to fill in these areas, smoothing lines and restoring a youthful, vibrant appearance.

Fillers are typically made of hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance naturally found in the skin, which helps to retain moisture and promote smooth, plump skin. Other types of fillers include calcium hydroxyapatite, poly-L-lactic acid, and polymethylmethacrylate, each serving different purposes for specific aesthetic concerns.

Benefits of Dermal Fillers

Restore Facial Volume:

Dermal fillers restore lost volume in the cheeks, temples, and under-eye area, helping to enhance facial contours and reduce sagging.

Enhance Lips and Cheeks:

Fillers can plump lips, providing a fuller, more youthful appearance, and enhance the cheeks for added definition and volume.

Long-Lasting Results:

Results typically last between 6 months to 2 years, depending on the type of filler used, the treated area, and the individual’s skin type.

Non-Surgical Solution:

Dermal fillers offer a non-invasive alternative to surgery, providing noticeable results without the need for downtime or recovery.

Smooth Fine Lines and Wrinkles:

Dermal fillers are effective at smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles, particularly around the mouth (smile lines), nose, and forehead.

Quick and Convenient Treatment:

The treatment takes about 15-30 minutes, and there’s minimal downtime, allowing you to return to normal activities almost immediately.The treatment takes about 15-30 minutes, and there’s minimal downtime, allowing you to return to normal activities almost immediately.

Areas Treated with Dermal Fillers

At Q Dermatology + Aesthetics Centre, we use dermal fillers to address a variety of facial concerns:

  1. Smile Lines (Nasolabial Folds):
     Dermal fillers can smooth the deep lines that run from your nose to the corners of your mouth, giving your face a more youthful appearance.

  2. Marionette Lines:
     These lines run vertically from the corners of your mouth down to the chin. Fillers help restore volume in this area, reducing the appearance of sagging.

  3. Under-Eye Hollowing (Tear Troughs):
     Fillers can help restore volume to the under-eye area, reducing dark circles and the hollowed appearance that comes with aging.

  4. Cheeks:
     Fillers can add volume to the cheeks, lifting and defining the face, while restoring a youthful contour and fullness.

  5. Lips:
     Plump and define the lips with dermal fillers, improving their shape and volume for a fuller, more balanced appearance.

  6. Chin and Jawline:
     Dermal fillers can be used to enhance the chin and jawline, providing more definition and balancing the overall facial structure.

What to Expect During a Dermal Filler Treatment

Consultation:
 Before your treatment, our expert team will conduct a thorough consultation to assess your skin and understand your aesthetic goals. We will discuss the areas you’d like to address and recommend the most suitable dermal fillers for your needs.

The Procedure:

  • Dermal filler treatments typically take 15-30 minutes, depending on the areas being treated.

  • We will apply a topical numbing cream or use fillers that contain lidocaine to ensure your comfort during the procedure.

  • The filler will be injected into the targeted areas using a fine needle. You may feel slight pressure or a mild discomfort, but most patients find the procedure to be well-tolerated.

After the Treatment:

  • After the treatment, you may experience mild swelling or redness at the injection sites. These side effects typically subside within a few hours to a day.

  • You can return to normal activities immediately, though we advise avoiding strenuous exercise and massaging the treated area for 24 hours.

  • Results are visible immediately, with the final effect fully settling in over the next 1-2 weeks.

Is Dermal Filler Right for Me?

Dermal fillers are ideal for anyone seeking to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, or enhance facial contours without undergoing surgery. Most healthy adults are good candidates for dermal fillers, though there are a few considerations:

  • Age: While dermal fillers can be used for individuals in their 20s through their 60s, the most common age range for treatment is 30-60 years old.

  • Medical History: If you have a history of allergies or skin conditions, it’s important to inform our team during the consultation.

  • Pregnancy or Nursing: Dermal fillers are not recommended for women who are pregnant or nursing.

Our expert team at Q Dermatology + Aesthetics Centre will evaluate your skin and goals to determine whether dermal fillers are the right solution for you.

Aftercare for Dermal Fillers

To ensure the best possible results, here are some simple aftercare tips:

  1. Avoid touching or massaging the treated area for at least 24 hours.

  2. Avoid excessive sun exposure and heat (such as saunas or hot tubs) for the first 48 hours.

  3. Apply cold compresses to reduce swelling if needed.

  4. Avoid vigorous exercise for 24 hours after your treatment.

  5. Follow up with our team for any concerns or touch-up appointments, if necessary.
