Dermal filler treatment is a minimally invasive cosmetic injectable that restores youthful contours,, and enhances your favourite features while maintaining a natural look. Using advanced techniques, our providers precisely place hyaluronic acid-based fillers to replenish hydration, support skin elasticity, and refine facial harmony. At SKIN Clinics, every treatment is performed in a dermatologist-led environment for safety, artistry, and results you can trust. We proudly serve clients across Calgary and the surrounding areas, helping you look refreshed, balanced, and as vibrant as you feel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our dermal filler options contain lidocaine, a gentle numbing agent, and we also apply a topical anesthetic cream before injections to ensure the process is as comfortable as possible. Add in we numb before hand too
How long does filler last?
+ Results typically last between 9 and 24 months, depending on the type of filler used, the treatment area, and your individual metabolism.
Is filler permanent?
+ No. Dermal filler is made from hyaluronic acid, a sugar molecule naturally found in the body that supports hydration and structure. Over time, the body gradually breaks it down. If needed, hyaluronic acid filler can be safely dissolved using a medication called hyaluronidase.
Will filler make me look “fake”?
+ Our approach focuses on natural-looking results. With careful product selection, expert injection techniques, and an in-depth understanding of facial anatomy, filler enhances your features without overcorrection. The goal is to look refreshed and balanced, not “over-done.”
Is filler treatment safe?
+ Yes, when performed by a qualified and experienced provider. As with any injectable treatment, there are potential side effects such as swelling, bruising, redness, or mild tenderness. More serious complications are rare and minimized with advanced safety protocols.
What should I do to prepare for filler treatment?
+ To reduce the risk of bruising and swelling, avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements like aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, and St. John’s Wort, unless prescribed by your doctor. It’s also important to let your provider know about any allergies, medical conditions, or history of cold sores so your treatment can be tailored safely to you.
Can filler help stimulate collagen production?
+ While hyaluronic acid fillers primarily restore hydration and volume, they may also support the skin’s natural collagen framework over time by improving firmness and elasticity, complementing the immediate volumising effect of the injectable.
What areas of the face respond best to dermal filler treatment?
+ Fillers are highly versatile and commonly used for the cheeks, lips, chin, jawline, and under-eye hollows. They can also smooth nasolabial folds, soften marionette lines, and refresh aging hands, restoring balance and youthful contours.
