Dermal Fillers Kelowna

Dermal fillers offered at our Dermapure clinics in Kelowna use hyaluronic acid, a substance the body naturally contains to bind water, injected beneath the skin to restore the volume that diminishes over time and soften static wrinkles. By replacing lost volume, the treatment redefines facial contours across areas such as the cheeks, the nasolabial folds, the lips, the chin and the temples.

Book an Appointment

Dermal fillers are most often considered by patients who would like to restore lost volume and rebalance facial proportions in a natural-looking way. What distinguishes the treatment is how precisely the placement is adapted to your anatomy so that results complement your features. Dermal fillers can be received on their own or planned alongside other injectable treatments within a broader treatment plan.

Because every patient’s facial anatomy, goals and medical history are different, dermal fillers at our Dermapure clinics in Kelowna always begin with a personalized medical consultation with a physician or healthcare professional. Together, you will assess whether dermal fillers are the most appropriate option for you and discuss what a realistic treatment plan could look like, the expected results and the possible side effects.

What to Expect During Your Session

Step 1

Personalized Assessment

Identifying your injection treatment goals and needs is essential. Several aspects are to be considered, including your age, skin quality and condition, genetics, etc., and would affect the amount of product required for optimal and natural results. During the consultation we will discuss your goals and expectations, and present our expertise in order to offer the best advice based on your priorities and budget.

Step 2

Take Pictures

Pictures taken before the procedure help to get a better view and understanding of the areas affected by the loss of volume and can be used when discussing your goals with the physician. When compared to your “After” pictures, they are an effective way to see the results of the treatment and will be used as reference over time.

Step 3

Apply a Numbing Gel

Applying a lidocaine-based gel to the areas to be treated will numb the skin and make injections more comfortable. While it is not a common practice at other clinics, at Dermapure we never skip this step to make sure your experience is the most enjoyable.

Step 4

Proceed with Injections

Our philosophy is to bring out the natural beauty by restoring balance to the face. Your injection specialist proceeds with the injections of the best hyaluronic acid product available on the market in accordance with the individual morphology of each patient. The product is injected under the skin with a needle or a small cannula, depending on the chosen technique, with the goal to achieve face symmetry, restore natural contours and compensate for the loss of volume. The number of syringes needed will vary based on the surface and depth of the treated areas. Throughout the session, you may use a mirror to follow the procedure and to participate in certain decisions. A typical injection treatment lasts 30 to 60 minutes.

Step 5

Return to Normal Activities

It is possible to return to your normal daily activities immediately after the treatment. Localized redness, swelling and bruising may occur, but will subside quickly. No actual downtime is expected. The effects are immediate, with optimum results achieved in the month following the treatment, and normally last for ten to twelve months.

Follow-Up & Maintenance

Touch-ups may be required for optimum results. It is recommended to have annual follow-up procedures to maintain the results. With regular procedures, the frequency and the amount of product needed may diminish over time.

Contraindications

Women who are pregnant or nursing should postpone this procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is hyaluronic acid?

Hyaluronic acid is a substance that is naturally produced by the human body and it plays a major role in keeping the skin hydrated and volumized. As we age, hyaluronic acid production slows. The rate at which is slows varies, which is why the aging process looks different from person to person. Composed of hyaluronic acid, dermal fillers can be used to restore or balance dermal volume that has been lost over time. The most popular dermal filler treatments include: redefining the jawline, enhancing the cheek bones, and plumping or reshaping the lips. A variety of the best dermal fillers available are offered at Dermapure to achieve the natural results you desire.

How long does the treatment take?

Depending on the area(s) being treated, the appointment time may vary from 15 minutes up to 1 hour. A consultation must be planned prior to the first treatment at Dermapure.
