Dermal Fillers Injections
Enhance Your Appearance
When are Dermal Fillers used?
Usually it is used by individuals seeking treatments to smooth smile lines and crow’s feet and plump up their lips, cheeks, and hands.
Injecting fillers into the face and hands can improve the appearance of facial lines and volume loss caused by age or certain medical conditions. In studies of dermal fillers approved by Health Canada and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, people generally report they are satisfied with their treatment results.
However, you need to discuss the application with a health professional before the procedure. Dermal fillers may not be appropriate for people with certain conditions, such as bleeding disorders or some allergies.

Instant results, quick treatment, and little to no downtime contribute to filler treatments' popularity. Results last 6 months to 2 years or longer, depending on the product & treatment. While dermal fillers are casually known as “wrinkle fillers,” they can do much more than just smooth out wrinkles, although they are excellent at this too. Here are a few more benefits:

What are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal Fillers often referred to as Juvéderm, are injectable substances (filler) that work to regenerate and repair the affected area, resulting in an improved appearance or condition of the skin. A dermatologist or an aesthetic specialist can apply dermal fillers. With this non-invasive procedure, tiny needles are inserted into the skin, on the targeted areas.
Consultation and Procedure
When selecting a provider for injectable treatments, give your decision the same level of care and scrutiny that you would for a surgical procedure. Non-surgical filler treatment is still a medical procedure that requires specific training, knowledge, and skill to ensure safe treatment and natural-looking results. Choose a provider with extensive knowledge of facial anatomy, a well-developed aesthetic eye, and a surgeon’s skill and precision. At Lotus by Queensway Center, our Doctors and Specialists bring years of experience and training, passion for perfection, and uncompromised quality.
Depending on the product and the areas treated, you should be able to notice results immediately after receiving filler injections. Some patients experience mild bruising and swelling, but these are temporary and should subside over the days following treatment. You will be able to go back to your normal activities right after treatment, but your cosmetic surgeon may ask you to take the day off from exercise or other strenuous activities.

How Long do fillers Last?
How long the effects of dermal fillers will last depends on the product, the area of treatment, and the patient. Generally speaking, the denser the product is and the more deeply it is injected, the longer it will last, although this is not a hard and fast rule. To maintain your results, your cosmetic surgeon will simply repeat treatment, adjusting the amount and techniques as necessary to ensure optimal results
Which filler do I need?
With so many dermal filler products on the market, it can be difficult to know which option is best for you without an experienced cosmetic surgeon’s guidance. Each product is uniquely formulated to have a certain texture, density, and injection depth, which means that certain fillers work better for certain areas of concern. At Lotus @ Queensway, our Doctors will help you determine what product is best for you.
