Dermal fillers are one of the most popular non-surgical cosmetic treatments in Vancouver for restoring facial volume, smoothing wrinkles, and enhancing natural facial contours. At Six Clinic Vancouver,dermal filler treatments are performed by Vicki Nguyen, IV League Injections, RN, an experienced cosmetic injector focused on achieving balanced, natural-looking results.

Dermal fillers are commonly used to:

• Smooth deep wrinkles and facial folds
• Restore volume lost through aging
• Enhance lip shape and definition
• Contour and sculpt facial features
• Improve facial balance and profile
• Perform non-surgical rhinoplasty (nose filler)

Most modern dermal fillers are made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance naturally found in the body that helps maintain skin hydration and volume. HA fillers have a smooth gel consistency and integrate naturally into the tissue to restore subtle, youthful fullness.

One of the advantages of hyaluronic acid fillers is that they are fully reversible and gradually metabolized by the body over time.

Results are often visible immediately after treatment, with improvements continuing as the filler settles.

Dermal filler results typically last 6–12 months, depending on the treatment area, product used, and individual metabolism.

Before treatment, a full medical consultation and health history will be completed to assess suitability and identify any contraindications.

How Long Does Dermal Filler Take?

A dermal filler appointment typically takes 30–60 minutes, depending on the area being treated and the amount of product required.

During the procedure, the injector carefully places small amounts of filler into specific areas of the face to enhance structure, restore volume, and smooth wrinkles while maintaining natural facial movement.

Common treatment areas include:

• Lips
• Cheeks
• Nasolabial folds
• Jawline
• Chin
• Under-eyes
• Nose bridge (liquid rhinoplasty)

Does Dermal Filler Hurt?

Most patients report minimal discomfort during treatment.

To maximize comfort, we use:

• Topical numbing cream
• Local anesthetic when needed
• Ice before and after injections

Many dermal fillers also contain lidocaine, which helps reduce discomfort during the procedure.

Recovery Time

Dermal filler treatments require little to no downtime.

Most patients return to their normal daily activities immediately after treatment.

However, we recommend avoiding:

• Strenuous exercise
• Alcohol
• Excessive heat or saunas

for 24–48 hours following treatment to minimize swelling and bruising.

Possible Side Effects

Dermal fillers are widely considered safe and effective when performed by a trained injector.

Temporary side effects may include:

• Mild swelling
• Redness
• Tenderness
• Bruising

These effects are typically mild and resolve within a few days to one week.

Detailed aftercare instructions will be provided to support optimal healing and results.
