What is Dermal Fller
As we age, our skin loses its volume, hydration, and elasticity, all of which we need in order to promote a youthful, healthy-looking appearance. Injectable Filler is used to give volume and create contours on the face where they are needed or where the volume has disappeared with age. Often called Dermal Fillers or Facial Fillers, these products are temporary and non-surgical and can result in a younger, refreshed, and revitalized appearance. Our doctors use only the top-rated and best hyaluronic products available in Canada today，such as Juvederm, Teosyal Ultimate, Teosyal RHA line，and Teosyal redensity II. All of these dermal fillers have an excellent safety record and are approved by Health Canada.
How does it work
Most injectable dermal filler treatments, including hyaluronic acid facial fillers, can be quickly and easily done within 15 minutes to 1 hour, depending on clients’ needs. Before your treatment, our doctors recommend avoiding anti-inflammatory drugs (Motrin, Advil, Ibuprofen, etc.), Aspirin, vitamin E, ginseng, and gingko biloba for 1 week to help prevent possible bruising. The dermal filler treatments at our clinic will involve topical freezing to make the procedure comfortable and simple. Most injectable filler products on the market today also contain lidocaine, which is a freezing agent that adds additional comfort during the procedure. With this dual approach, our patients can enjoy a comfortable experience. The results with dermal fillers are visible immediately. Dermal fillers can involve minor swelling and sometimes minimal bruising. The swelling usually peaks within the first 24 hours. Some patients don’t mind the swelling and continue on with their day as per normal. Some patients will experience mild swelling for up to 7 to 10 days. Both of these effects are considered absolutely normal and will subside and resolve shortly.

Before & After
Facial Injectable fillers typically last anywhere from 6 months to 18 months, depending on where the vials are injected. Lip injection typically lasts only 6 months since we are eating and talking and constantly moving our mouths; therefore, the hyaluronic acid is metabolized at a much faster rate. Dermal filler will last longer in other areas of the face that do not move so often，such as temple, forehead and nose. Another wonderful feature of HA dermal filler is that it is reversible and biodegradable. If any patient is unsatisfied with their final results, a product called hyaluronidaise can be used to quickly melt the injectable filler, and the patient will return to their pre-injection appearance within an hour. The use of this is very rare and usually stems from a patient needing to correct what an inexperienced injector has done.

Botox
Botox
Botox decrease the appearance of facial wrinkles. Also, they are effective tools for dealing with skin disorders such as excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), lazy eye, neck spasms, and an overactive bladder.
Fine Lines + Wrinkles · Face Lifting ·
What is Botox
There is a distinction between dynamic wrinkles and static wrinkles.
Dynamic wrinkles are wrinkles that are visible on the face during muscular contractions such as frowning and squinting. Once these muscles relax, dynamic wrinkles disappear as the skin springs back to its original position.
Common dynamic wrinkles include:
- Frown lines between eyebrows
- Forehead wrinkles
- Crow’s feet
- Smile lines around the mouth
BOTOX is an effective treatment for dynamic wrinkles as it has the ability to temporarily and partially relax facial muscles. As dynamic wrinkles fade away when the underlying muscle contractions are relaxed, it will result in a smoother and more youthful looking complexion all around.
On the other hand, as we age, the production of collagen declines, causing the skin to lose its elasticity. As a result, dynamic wrinkles will eventually become static wrinkles. Static wrinkles are wrinkles that are visible on the face even when facial muscles are relaxed and tend to deepen with age, therefore, BOTOX would not be an effective treatment. Instead, injectable dermal fillers are best for addressing static wrinkles.
What are dynamic wrinkles
Botox injections are noted primarily for the ability to reduce the appearance of facial dynamic wrinkles. They’re also used to treat conditions such as neck spasms (cervical dystonia), excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), an overactive bladder and lazy eye. Botox injections may also help prevent chronic migraines. Botox injections are usually performed in a doctor’s office. Doctor uses a thin needle to inject tiny amounts of botulinum toxin into your skin or muscles. The number of injections needed depends on many factors, including the extent of the area being treated.
What Are the Areas that Can Be Treat with Botox
Using botox to treat the following “trouble spots” has been approved by the FDA for use by both men and women from 18 to 65 years.
- Crow’s feet refer to wrinkles around the eyes.

Tell your doctor if you’ve had any type of Botox injection within the past four months. Also tell your doctor if you take muscle relaxants, sleeping aids or allergy medications. If you take blood thinners, you may need to stop taking them several days before your injection to reduce your risk of bleeding or bruising.
Do not rub or massage the treated areas for 24 hours. This may help prevent the toxin from spreading to a different area. You can return to your normal activities right after the procedure.
Botox injections usually begin working one to three days after treatment. Depending on the problem being treated, the effect may last three months or longer. To maintain the effect, you’ll need regular follow-up injections.

Non-Surgical Double Chin Treatment (BELKYRA®)
Non-Surgical Double Chin Treatment (BELKYRA®)
An injectable drug used to reduce the fat in the submental area, also known as the area beneath the chin.
Reduce fat under the chin·
What is Non-Surgical Double Chin Treatment (BELKYRA®)
This non-surgical treatment uses deoxycholic acid – a naturally occurring substance found in the body – to destroy the membranes of fat cells, creating a beautifully contoured silhouette below the chin.
. In many ways, using Belkyra® is like sculpting a marble statue; great care must be taken to remove the right amount of fat under the chin to create an appearance that looks natural and provides the right contours.
What does Belkyra® do?
Fat under the Chin
Belkyra® is injected into the fat under your chin to contour your jawline and reduce your double chin. It’s suitable for moderate to severe double chins caused by fat accumulation from genes, ageing or weight gain. Other causes of a double chin, such as loss of skin elasticity or muscle excess, will not respond to treatment. We’ll assess your neck area to see if your chin is suitable. You will need at least two treatments spaced eight weeks apart. Most people need three to four treatments. You may require up to six treatments. Although the reduction in fat cells is irreversible, the appearance of your double chin area may be affected over time by skin ageing, weight changes and sun exposure.
Face Lifting
Belkyra® is injected into the fat under your chin to contour your jawline and reduce your double chin causing a face lifting effect to your face.
For most patients, downtime is minimal and occurred most commonly after the first treatment session. When scheduling your treatments, keep your social plans and work commitments in mind.
As with other injectable treatments, you may experience side effects with Belkyra. The most common side effects are swelling, bruising, pain and numbness.
Some fillers are Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers that are made up of a soft injectable gel. Hyaluronic Acid is a molecule that’s found naturally in your body. Once injected into treatment areas, it binds with water then expands, resulting in more volume and less sagging or wrinkling. The gel is tissue-friendly and long-lasting, though not permanent. Dermal filler treatments are widely used in medical aesthetics to add volume, plump up and reduce the appearance of lines and folds.
Belkyra® is approved only for use in the submental area. Common side effects like swelling or bruising should resolve within a few days. There is a risk of serious side effects that include nerve injury in the jaw. This can result in facial weakness or asymmetry, difficulty with swallowing or destroying the skin cells if injected in a wrong depth. For this reason, it’s essential to choose a qualified cosmetic physician to perform the procedure. Other healthcare professionals may not have adequate familiarity with variations in anatomy in the area of the chin and jaw. Patients with severe double chin may develop excessive loose skin after treatment of the submental fat. This can be improved with surgical tightening procedures or by use of non-invasive treatments.

Face Lifting
The non-invasive Ultherapy® procedure is the only Health Canada licensed medical procedure to lift skin on the neck, on the eyebrow and under the chin as well as to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the neck and décolletage
Ultherapy is recommended for individuals who have a mild to moderate degree of skin laxity, i.e. if your skin looks or feels less firm than you’re used to. If you have loose skin under the neck, under the chin, or lines and wrinkles on the chest, these signs may indicate that you are a good candidate for ultherapy. The best way to determine whether ultherapy will help you address your anti-aging concerns is to book a free consultation with the specialists at Dermapure, either in-person or virtually.
The answer will vary per patient, but typically, your early thirties are when you will begin experiencing the first truly visible signs of aging. Over time, and as early as 25 years old, collagen production begins to slow. Fine lines and wrinkles begin to form as your skin becomes less plump. Treatments like ultherapy are therefore recommended to maintain your skin’s firmness using supplementary methods.
Ultherapy appointments can last anywhere between 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the area that is being treated.
The face, neck, brows and décolleté are the most commonly treated areas. Ultherapy can target crow’s feet, loose skin, fine lines, wrinkles, and dark circles.
For most patients, the effects of their ultherapy treatment will gradually appear within two to six months following a single treatment session. They can then last for 1-2 years depending on the patient’s skin and aging process, though individual results may vary. Dermapure recommends this type of procedure as part of an annual or bi-annual skin rejuvenation maintenance program.
Most patients require absolutely no downtime following their Ulthera® treatment. However, some people do experience temporary redness or minor swelling around the treated area in the 24 to 48 hours after their treatment.
Many patients elect to combine multiple treatments to enhance their overall results. In the case of ultherapy, you can combine this procedure with injectable treatments, including neuromodulators and dermal fillers. A free consultation with one of our physicians will help you determine your exact skin needs and create a personalized treatment plan that includes the best-suited treatment(s) for your skin and needs.
