Soft Lift Ottawa Wellington Village

Soft Lift is a non-surgical combination treatment offered at our Dermapure Wellington Village clinic. It pairs neuromodulator injections with hyaluronic acid dermal fillers in a single session to address expression lines and volume loss in the face.

Book an Appointment

Because every patient's facial anatomy and medical history are different, Soft Lift at our Dermapure Wellington Village clinic always begins with a personalized consultation with a physician or healthcare professional. Together, you will assess whether it is the most appropriate option for you and discuss the expected results and the possible side effects.

What to Expect During Your Session

Step 1

Personalized Assessment

A meeting prior to the Soft Lift treatment allows us to better understand your expectations as well as your skin condition and to build a personalized treatment plan.

Step 2

Take Pictures

Pictures taken before the procedure help provide 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 a 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 as it helps your experience be more enjoyable.

Step 4

Personalized Muscle Diagnosis by the Physician

The injection specialist first conducts a personalized assessment of your facial anatomy and marks the exact injection points with a white makeup pencil. You will be asked to frown, raise your eyebrows, and smile widely to help determine the strength of your facial muscles and to identify the best treatment for achieving optimal results.

Step 5

Dermal filler injections

Our philosophy is to bring out 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.

Follow-Up & Maintenance

Soft Lift’s overall result is a revived and rejuvenated appearance that looks natural. Soft Lift’s results usually last between 12 and 18 months thanks to the active lifespan of the products and the long-term bio-stimulating and restorative effects of dermal fillers. For neuromodulators, we recommend a touch-up on occasion to preserve the long-term effect. Soft Lift treatments are often combined with fractional laser treatments, as well as Thermage (radiofrequency) and IPL (photo rejuvenation) to optimally enhance the skin’s tone and texture.

Contraindications

Women who are pregnant or nursing should postpone this procedure. Individuals with certain neuromuscular disorders should not use this type of injectable. We recommend that you avoid aspirin or any other medications containing aspirin one week prior to your scheduled treatment.
