Dermal Fillers and Lip Augmentation
Defy Aging
Dermal fillers (such as Restylane, Teosyl, and Juvederm) provide another opportunity for defying the aging process and enhancing your natural beauty. Aging causes the body to lose collagen, weakening the skin, and causing a more hollowed look. Fillers are a non-invasive and non-surgical way to reduce wrinkles, add volume, and offer you a more youthful and age defying appearance. They consist of Hyaluronic Acid (HA), which provides volume and results in smooth, plump, youthful looking skin. The dermal fillers we use at BARE are all Health Canada approved.
Aesthetic Improvements
Dermal fillers have many uses and benefits, smoothing and filling-in facial features. They are used to treat volume loss under eyes, in the mid-face, temples, laugh lines and along the jawline. Dermal fillers are also used to enhance lips, cheeks, chins, contours of the face, and even hands. All Hyaluronic Acid dermal fillers are temporary and can be dissolved immediately should a complication arise, or if you are unhappy with your results.
Choose Your Style
Lip fillers may be used for lip augmentation in various styles: natural, added fullness and definition, or a mini, subtle plump. Fillers may also be injected around mouth and lip lines to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, smile lines, and chin creases.
Beyond lip augmentation, dermal fillers can be used for cheeks, chin augmentation, under eyes, and dark circle reduction.
BARE Medical Aesthetics offers lip injections and dermal filler treatments for clients in London and the surrounding Southwestern Ontario area, such as Kitchener Waterloo, Cambridge, Sarnia, Woodstock and beyond.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do lip fillers last?
Typically, Hyaluronic Acid lip fillers last 6-12 months. This is dependent on the area treated and the type of filler used. Everyone’s timeline will look a bit different. Book a consultation with one of our professionals to find out more.
How do you take care of lip injections?
Our professional staff will provide thorough after-care instructions, but it is important to always remember to ice the injected area, stay hydrated, and avoid strenuous exercise for a few days following the injections.
Can dermal fillers help me get rid of my cleft chin or straighten my nose?
Yes! Dermal fillers are a safe alternative for altering a cleft chin and facial asymmetries.
How long do I have to wait in between appointments?
You can come back in for filler any time you’re ready. We typically wait at least 2 weeks to re-treat the same area to ensure any bruising or swelling has subsided.
Can I wear makeup to my Filler appointment?
Yes, if you feel more comfortable wearing makeup to your filler appointment, feel free to do so. However, the professional providing the treatment will remove the makeup from the treatment area and sanitize it. Afterward, it is recommended to not wear makeup for 2 hours.
Is drinking alcohol okay after my treatment?
It is recommended that you do not drink any alcohol for three days prior to and after your appointment. Alcohol thins the blood which could increase bleeding and bruising. Please also avoid Advil, Motrin, Vitamin E, Gingko, and blood thinners if safe to do so, for 3 days leading up to your appointment.
What can I expect during my Filler appointment?
Filler appointments usually take about 1-hour. We will thoroughly review your health history and personalized treatment goals. Then, we will apply an anesthetic cream to numb the treatment area for 20-30 minutes. Finally, we will cleanse, take photos, and use a small needle or cannula to inject the areas. Before you leave, we will review post-care instructions. You will always be provided with a number to contact should you have any questions or concerns.
How do you take care of your face after Hyaluronic Acid/dermal filler injections?
Our nurse injector will provide thorough aftercare instructions, and a number where she can be reached if needed. It is important to ice the injected area, to minimize swelling and bruising, to stay hydrated, and avoid strenuous exercise for a few days following the injections. You must report any concerns or unusual pain and bruising to your injector. You cannot travel for one week post filler in the event there is a complication.
