Over time, your body’s production of hyaluronic acid decreases, which can cause your skin to sag and become thinner. When this happens, you’re prone to developing fine lines and wrinkles. This can be frustrating and bothersome.
The good news is that dermal fillers can come to your skin’s rescue! By injecting HA into your skin, we can restore your skin’s structure, framework, and volume. Results are immediate, the side effects are mild, and the downtime is minimal. Dermal fillers aren’t permanent, but they are versatile, effective, and safe.

Dermal fillers are injections widely used across the cosmetic industry. They deliver fast, reliable results. Even though those results are temporary, you always have the option to maintain them in the long-term by scheduling follow-up injections.
Dermal fillers have surged in popularity because they allow doctors like ours to target specific areas of the body. Let’s say, for example, that you have developed nasolabial folds (also known as smile lines). We can inject hyaluronic acid fillers into these areas of your face to reduce the appearance of lines and, in turn, encourage you to have a healthy body image.
Many patients also seek dermal filler treatments so they can see a big improvement in their facial contours. Restoring lost volume can go a long way in refreshing your appearance and making you feel as beautiful on the outside as you are on the inside.
We want to emphasize that dermal fillers work best when they are administered by highly skilled and well-trained injectors. Never get filler injections in a non-medical setting, such as in a salon or someone’s home, so you don’t run the risk of experiencing potentially serious side effects.
Dermal fillers can enhance various areas:
These fillers offer subtle, natural-looking improvements to enhance facial harmony.
It’s essential to be prepared to receive dermal fillers. In the days and weeks before your appointment, we kindly ask that you:
Call us in the days or weeks leading up to your appointment if you have specific questions. We are always here to help, and we want you to enter our clinic feeling excited and fully prepared for your treatment session.
Whether you're getting cheek, tear trough under-eye, or lip fillers in Calgary, all dermal filler procedures begin with cleansing the skin and applying a numbing cream to ensure your comfort and help you relax.
During the procedure, our doctors will skillfully and accurately administer each injection. You may feel a slight stinging or burning sensation. Once all the injections have been delivered, you can take some time to rest before you leave our office with your aftercare instructions in-hand. Again, we encourage you to ask questions and allow us to offer clarifications upon your review of those instructions.
The duration of your dermal filler session at Beacon Dermatology will depend on how many injections you need and the size of the treatment area. If you’re just getting lip filler, for example, you should expect your appointment to be approximately 15-30 minutes. If you’re getting a liquid facelift or if we’re treating multiple areas at once, the treatment session could last up to an hour.
After receiving dermal fillers, you should expect to go about your day, admire the immediate results you’ll see, and wait patiently for the final results to appear over the next few weeks. If you need any adjustments, please give us a call. And when you’re ready for more dermal fillers, come back to Beacon Dermatology so we can continue to help you combat signs of aging and enhance your facial features!
Like all other cosmetic procedures, you must give your skin plenty of time to heal following dermal filler injections. During the healing process, the ingredients within the filler will settle into your skin and produce the results you’re anticipating.
The best way to get the most out of your dermal fillers in Calgary is to follow our recovery instructions. For effective aftercare, you should:
Dermal fillers are a low-risk treatment that boasts many benefits, including:
Our dermal filler ingredients and how we perform the treatments with ease and precision make these procedures a great way to refresh your skin every few weeks or months to maintain your youthful glow. Whether you want a long-lasting rejuvenation by attending maintenance appointments or a quick refresh before a wedding, party, or big event, Beacon Dermatology has you covered.
Our dermal filler treatments use the best filler products and involve a small needle that causes little to no discomfort. Your treatment will be performed quickly, and you can return to your regular day-to-day activities immediately after you leave the Beacon Dermatology clinic.
Not only will your dermal filler treatment be quick, but so will your results! You will see some results immediately, whereas other areas with fine lines or lost volume may take a few days or weeks to improve in appearance as the filler settles and collagen production increases.
If you want to reduce signs of aging and loss of volume with a minimally invasive, effective treatment, dermal fillers are a great option. Discuss your goals and concerns with the Beacon Dermatology team to understand which filler type and treatment plan is best for you.
Yes, dermal fillers are safe, especially when performed at the Beacon Dermatology clinic. The biggest risks associated with dermal filler treatments are slight bleeding from the injection site, infection if skin is not properly taken care of, redness, slight numbness or warmness that will go away within a few hours, and possible bruising or soreness.
Your dermal filler results will last up to 12 months, which is quite long-term for filler treatments because we use only the best ingredients and options. You can make your results last longer and continue to look great by attending regular maintenance appointments.
You will see some initial results immediately following your treatment, but full results will appear within 10-14 days, and all swelling will subside.
