Dermal Fillers Ottawa

Dermal fillers are a safe and effective way to restore lost volume, smooth facial wrinkles, and enhance your natural features. Using hyaluronic acid-based gels, these injectables can address a variety of concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, folds, and volume loss in areas like the cheeks, lips, and around the mouth. At Dermis Advanced Skin Care in Ottawa, our highly trained and experienced professionals use the latest techniques to ensure a comfortable and natural-looking result that can last up to a year.

Please Note: tenderness, swelling, and even mild bruising can occur on the treatment area following an injection. Swelling can be reduced using a small cold compress, and in some cases our medical team may prescribe acetaminophen, a mild painkiller.

Treated Conditions

Dermal fillers offer a remarkable way to restore a more youthful and refreshed appearance by addressing specific concerns. When it comes to smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, dermal fillers can effectively soften the appearance of crow’s feet, those fine lines around the eyes that can be diminished for a more rested and youthful look. Forehead lines, the horizontal lines across the forehead, can also be smoothed out, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and creating a smoother brow. Frown lines, also known as glabellar lines, are the vertical lines between the eyebrows that can create a worried or angry expression. Fillers can soften these lines for a more relaxed appearance. Perioral lines, sometimes called smoker’s lines or lip lines, are the vertical lines around the mouth that can be minimized with fillers, resulting in a smoother, more youthful smile. This treatment also effectively addresses marionette lines that extend down from the corners of the mouth.

As we age, we lose collagen and elastin, leading to volume loss. Dermal fillers can restore this lost volume and improve facial contours. For example, fillers can add volume to the cheeks, creating a lifted and more youthful appearance through cheek augmentation. Filling in hollow temples can create a more balanced and harmonious facial structure. Under-eye hollows, also known as tear troughs, can be effectively treated with fillers to reduce the appearance of dark circles and under-eye bags, creating a brighter and more rested look through tear trough correction.

Dermal fillers can also create beautiful, natural-looking lips. They can increase lip fullness, creating a more sensual and youthful pout. Fillers can also define the lip border, also known as the vermilion border, enhancing the shape and definition of the lip line for a more defined and attractive lip contour. Additionally, fillers can minimize the appearance of fine vertical lines above the upper lip, often called lipstick lines, preventing lipstick from bleeding and creating a smoother lip surface.

Finally, dermal fillers can effectively reduce the appearance of facial folds and creases. Nasolabial folds, the lines that extend from the nose to the corners of the mouth, can be filled in to create a more youthful and refreshed appearance. Marionette lines, those lines that run from the corners of the mouth down to the chin, can contribute to a sad or downturned expression. Fillers can soften these lines for a more uplifted and youthful look.
