What are dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers effectively combat age-related issues such as wrinkles, fine lines, and sun damage by addressing the loss of collagen, elasticity, and subcutaneous fat that occurs with aging. These fillers utilize rejuvenating treatments to reverse these effects, resulting in tighter, radiant, and naturally sculpted skin.

Infused with hyaluronic acid, a natural skin component responsible for retaining water, dermal fillers restore a youthful glow. Despite the quick procedure, the results can last for months with proper skincare and a healthy lifestyle.

How Quickly Will I See Results From Dermal Fillers?

While the effects of dermal fillers may be noticeable immediately after the session, it typically takes about four weeks for the serum and beneficial compounds to fully integrate into the tissues. A general guideline for dermal filler aftercare is to refrain from strenuous exercise for 24 to 48 hours and avoid exposure to hot temperatures and treatments for a two-week period.

This precautionary measure ensures optimal absorption of all injected substances, including post-session treatments and serums. It also entails a two-week period without facials, waxing, or laser procedures to prevent potential irritation to the skin.

What Is the Downtime for Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers involve minimal downtime, though it's common to encounter bruising, swelling, redness, and slight itching post-treatment. Typically, these effects subside within hours, but in some cases, a few days of recovery may be needed.

Despite this, patients can promptly resume their work or daily activities after the session. Our services in Toronto not only offer dermal fillers but also include expert guidance on effective aftercare.
