DERMAL FILLERS

• Lips- to add volume, create symmetry, create shape, and soften lip lines.
• Cheeks-to add volume, create symmetry, to create lift to jowls and help offset tear troughs.
• Temples-to add volume
• Nose-to create symmetry or create contour
• Tear troughs-to add volume to sunken in tear troughs and reflect light to brighten the area.
• Laugh lines (aka Nasal Labial folds)- to add volume.
• Chin-to add volume, smoothness, and balance facial proportions and or the profile.
• Jawline-to accentuate the jawline creating definition
• Wrinkles- to soften lines. Dysport and Botox will often need to be used to prevent the wrinkle from reforming. ZO Retin-A topical can also help with wrinkles. Fractora is an option to rejuvenate and build collagen and elastin in the skin to help prevent future wrinkles. Of course applying SPF sunscreen daily and avoiding direct sunlight is a key practice to preventing wrinkles.
• Hands- to replace volume and make the hands look smoother and more youthful.

Hyaluronic acid has been found to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin which contribute to the skin’s elasticity and fullness.This may slow both age and sun-related degradation of existing collagen.

Safety is our top priority
The dermal fillers injected at DermNurse are extensively clinically tested and studied for safety and efficacy, are Health Canada approved, and have excellent safety and performance track records. Our injection techniques and approaches adhere to the latest safety protocols, are respectful of anatomy, and utilize cannulas in high risk zones. A Nurse Practitioner, who can diagnose disease and prescribe medication like a Doctor, will consult with you prior to your treatment. Having a Doctor or Nurse Practitioner consult with you before any cosmetic injectable is a legal requirement put in place for your safety and to ensure informed consent has been obtained.

Conservative approach to aesthetics
At DermNurse we have a “less is more” approach to dermal fillers. The goal is to enhance your natural beauty. We can always add more later if needed. This approach leads to better cosmetic outcomes.

We use the latest advanced treatment techniques and are gentle and methodical in our injection approach.

Injecting dermal filler is an art. At DermNurse we practice a “less is more” approach to dermal filler. Reaching your beauty goals is not a race. We can always add more filler in the future but it is harder and more costly to remove unwanted filler. Poorly placed or too much filler leads to an unnatural appearance. Dermal filler has its limitations. It cannot create lift like plastic surgery can. The true foundation of beauty is healthy skin therefore a combination of different treatment approaches may be recommended.

Yes. Dermal filler composed of Hyaluronic Acid can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase. It works over the course of 18 hours after it is injected. You may require more than one treatment to achieve optimal results.

Wrinkles can be very difficult to get rid of especially if they are deep, located in an area where there is constant expression or skin folding, or have been present for a long time. After all other wrinkle reducing options are considered such as topical Retin-A, Botox/Dysport, Fractora, Venus Viva, Microneedling, and Chemical peels, dermal filler is the solution of choice. Injected directly into the wrinkle, dermal filler instantly creates a softer and smoother appearance. More than one treatment may be required for best results. Results last up to one year.

Dermal fillers are purchased by the syringe (1cc-1.2cc) and the price per syringe varies from brand to brand. The price depends on the desired outcome and the area to be treated. At DermNurse we can often achieve great results with less product.

Hyaluronic acid is safe for all skin types. Common injection-related reactions include bruising, swelling, redness, pain (not at rest), itching, or tenderness to the injected site, These reactions generally resolve within a few days.
