Dermal & Soft Tissue Fillers

Cosmetic dermal fillers can treat fine or deep lines and folds, reshape and redefine the lips, or restore facial volume. Fillers may not be for everyone, and your suitability for these products should be discussed with a healthcare professional prior to use. Risks are possible, and individual results vary. 

What Are Cosmetic Fillers?

Cosmetic fillers, also known as dermal fillers, are non-surgical aesthetic treatments designed to restore volume, enhance contours, and rejuvenate the appearance of the face. 

Dermal fillers are composed of a gel-like substance that is injected into specific areas to achieve volumizing, smoothening, or enhancing results. The primary component of most fillers is hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance found in the body that contributes to the hydration and plumpness of the skin. By replenishing HA levels, dermal fillers provide an effective way to achieve a more youthful and revitalized appearance.

Types of Dermal Fillers

At Concept Medical, we primarily use hyaluronic acid-based fillers. They are versatile and effective in adding volume, smoothing lines, enhancing lips, and restoring facial definition. Since HA is a naturally occurring substance in the body, this type of filler makes for a safe and reliable treatment. However, risks are possible and results vary. 

Benefits of Dermal Fillers

The dermal fillers offered at our Ottawa clinic provide a wide range of benefits, making them a great option for those looking to enhance their facial contours. Here are some of the key benefits you can look forward to:

  • Restores volume, softens wrinkles and fine lines, and enhances lip fullness and definition: Due to the versatility of these fillers, there are many options available — you can discuss your goals with us during your consultation.
  • Minimally invasive with little downtime: Since this is a non-surgical treatment, most people can resume their daily activities immediately after their appointment, making fillers convenient for those with busy lifestyles.
  • Long-lasting results: While this is a non-permanent treatment, dermal fillers can last up to 12 months or more. Results do vary.
  • Customizable: There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to your skin concerns. Dermal fillers offer a high level of customization to achieve your aesthetic goals. Whether you’re looking for small enhancements or more significant touches, we will assess your visage, discuss your desired outcomes, and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
How to Prepare for Your Treatment

To achieve the best results, here are some guidelines to help you prepare for your procedure:

  • Avoid blood thinning medication about a week before your appointment. That being said, please consult your physician prior to stopping any medications. 
  • Avoid drinking alcohol 24 hours before to minimize bruising. 
  • Arrive with a clean face free from makeup, lotions, or any other products.
What to Expect Post-Treatment

Generally, you will notice an immediate improvement in the treated areas following your dermal filler injections at our Ottawa clinic. While the procedure is known for its minimal downtime, each individual may have a slightly different experience. Here are some common post-treatment symptoms:

  • Redness
  • Mild swelling
  • Mild tenderness
  • Mild bruising

These side effects are normal and usually subside within a few days. It’s also important to follow any aftercare instructions provided by our team of qualified physicians. This may include applying ice packs to reduce swelling and using recommended skincare products.

Keep in mind that while you will see immediate results, it takes up to two weeks for the filler to fully settle and integrate with your natural tissues. During this time, you may notice subtle changes in the appearance of the treated areas as they set.
