Fillers

Injectable fillers not only fill lines and soften folds, but help rejuvenate and restore the face to a more youthful appearance. Having a trained cosmetic dermatologist select the appropriate filler and placement allows for a natural looking result.

Fillers Vancouver: Natural Facial Rejuvenation

As we age, our skin naturally loses collagen, elastin, and subcutaneous fat, leading to volume loss, deepening folds, and a tired appearance. Injectable fillers offer a safe, non-surgical solution to restore that lost volume, smooth out wrinkles, and sculpt facial features for a refreshed, youthful look.

Dr. Katie Beleznay is a globally recognized expert in the use of hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, frequently training other medical professionals on advanced injection techniques and facial anatomy. When you choose our clinic, you are choosing an expert who prioritizes patient safety, precise anatomical placement, and subtle, natural-looking results that enhance your unique beauty.

What are Fillers?

Dermal fillers are smooth, gel-like substances injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, soften creases, or enhance facial contours. We primarily use Hyaluronic Acid (HA) filler. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in your body that helps keep the skin hydrated and plump.

Because HA filler integrates seamlessly with your own tissue, they provide immediate, natural-looking results. Additionally, HA fillers are reversible; an enzyme called hyaluronidase can be used to dissolve the filler if adjustments are needed, providing an extra measure of safety and peace of mind.

Customizable Results

Filler procedures are personalized according to:

  • the patient’s skin type
  • facial architecture
  • age
  • aesthetic goals
  • different types of fillers

Treatment plans with fillers offer the flexibility for incremental improvements, providing patients control over the pace at which they wish their results to emerge.

Reversible Effects

Patients often find comfort in the knowledge that specific fillers can be reversed, making the decision to undergo facial enhancements less daunting.

Importance of Choosing a Qualified Provider

It’s vital to choose a qualified provider to guarantee safe and effective dermal filler treatments. Assessing a provider’s credentials, including licensure, board certification, and specialized training, is important. Dr. Beleznay’s commitment to patient safety and her expertise in managing potential risks is evident in her research and authorship of papers on complications from fillers.

A deep understanding of facial anatomy is vital for accomplishing the desired aesthetic outcomes with dermal fillers. The right physician with proper training and certification is key in ensuring safe and effective filler procedures.

It’s also crucial to choose a reputable clinic and practice environment to ensure patient safety and comfort during the procedure.

What to Expect

Your safety and comfort are our top priorities. During your consultation, we will assess your facial architecture and discuss your aesthetic goals to determine the right type and amount of filler.

To ensure your comfort during the procedure, we apply a medical-grade topical numbing cream to the treatment area. Many of our premium HA fillers also contain lidocaine (a local anesthetic) built into the gel. The injection process typically takes 30 to 60 minutes.

You can return to your normal daily activities immediately after treatment. While you will see immediate volume restoration, it is common to experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising, which usually subsides within a few days. We recommend avoiding vigorous exercise and excessive heat for 24 to 48 hours post-treatment.

Comprehensive Treatment Areas

Dermal filler can provide three-dimensional, pan-facial rejuvenation. We customize every treatment plan to address your specific goals:

  • Lip Filler (Lip Enhancement): Whether you want to restore thinning lips, correct asymmetry, define the Cupid's bow, or add a subtle, hydrated plumpness, our lip filler treatments are tailored to look natural—never overdone.
  • Cheek Filler: Restore youthful volume to flattened or hollow cheeks, providing a subtle "lift" to the mid and lower face.
  • Under-Eye Hollows (Tear Troughs): Soften dark circles and hollows under the eyes to instantly reduce a tired appearance.
  • Jawline & Chin Contouring: Define a weak jawline, strengthen the chin, and balance your facial profile.
  • Nasolabial Folds & Marionette Lines: Smooth the deep creases that run from the nose to the mouth, and from the corners of the mouth down to the chin.
  • Hand Rejuvenation: Plump the back of the hands to hide prominent veins and tendons, restoring a youthful appearance to sun-damaged hands.

Post-Treatment Care and Recovery

After receiving filler injections, post-treatment care may include:

  • Applying ice packs to lessen bruising and swelling following your procedure
  • Consider reducing activities that could lead to increased bruising and refraining from vigorous exercise for 24 hours

Managing Side Effects

After receiving filler injections, it is common to experience redness, swelling, and bruising, which usually subsides within a few days.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does filler cost in Vancouver?

The cost of dermal fillers in Vancouver varies depending on the specific product used and the number of syringes required to achieve your desired outcome. Because every face is unique, we provide a personalized quote during your consultation after assessing your goals and facial anatomy.

How long do dermal fillers last?

The longevity of your results depends on the type of filler used, the area treated, and your body's natural metabolism. On average, hyaluronic acid fillers last anywhere from 6 to 18 months. Areas with high movement, like the lips, may metabolize filler faster, while areas like the cheeks or jawline tend to last longer.

Does filler hurt?

We take every step to ensure your filler treatment is as comfortable as possible. We can apply a topical numbing cream before the procedure, and the fillers we use contain lidocaine to numb the area from the inside as it is injected. Most patients report only mild pressure or a slight pinch.

Can dermal fillers be reversed?

Yes. One of the major benefits of using Hyaluronic Acid (HA) fillers is that they can be safely and quickly dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase if you are unhappy with the results or experience a complication.

Patient Reviews

"I don't like needles so no botox or filler for me but I see Dr. Beleznay and her team for laser treatments for my skin and recently tried Emface and am quite happy with the results. They put on good numbing on to help with pain and leave that on for a bit which is nice. It’s better than the EMLA wrap I had before."
"Dr. Beleznay is so kind, professional, and an absolute expert at what she does! I am grateful I not only met her but her treatments have never felt short of amazing!"
"OK I’m going to admit I came in and was a little uncertain of what to expect. I was anxious about the consult and just doing treatments in general, but she and her team made me feel very comfortable and I love love love my results! I’m so glad I got off my sofa and came in!"
"Enjoyed my meeting with Dr. Beleznay. The building is hard to get into with construction, but they paid for my parking which was a nice perk. The experience was pleasant without too much pain. I also like my new skincare routine."
