How Do Dermal Fillers Work?

Dermal fillers work by being injected into targeted areas of the skin to add volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. At VISAGE Clinic in Toronto, Dr. Marc DuPéré uses precise injection techniques to ensure optimal placement and natural-looking results.

Once injected, the fillers plump up the skin, filling in lines and wrinkles from within. This process not only restores lost volume but also stimulates the production of collagen, a key protein that keeps the skin firm and elastic. The hydration properties of the fillers also contribute to a healthier, more radiant complexion.

The effects of dermal fillers in Toronto are immediate, providing an instant rejuvenation that continues to improve as the filler integrates with the skin. With minimal downtime and a high safety profile, dermal fillers offer a convenient and effective solution for those seeking to refresh their appearance. Dr. DuPéré’s expertise ensures a customized approach, tailored to meet your specific aesthetic goals and deliver long-lasting, natural results.

Risks and Complications

Slight bruising at the needle site is always a possibility, but larger bruises are rare. If you do experience larger bruising, it may last 3 to 5 days and can usually be easily camouflaged with concealers.

Eating fresh pineapple, including the core, in the time spanning from 3 days before to 3 days after treatment can help reduce bruising.

To further prevent bruising, avoid the following items 7 to 10 days prior to treatment (if authorized by your family physician and/or cardiologist):

  • Alcohol for 72 hours prior to injections
  • Anti-inflammatory medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen sodium (Advil®)
  • Warfarin sodium (Coumadin®)
  • Fish oil
  • Vitamin E supplements
  • Omega-3 oils
  • Ginger
  • Ginkgo biloba
  • Ginseng
  • Chamomile tea
  • Green tea
  • Garlic pills
  • Any other osteopathic, naturopathic, or Chinese herbal medicine

Acetaminophen (Tylenol®) is safe if you need a pain reliever.

Other potential risks with injectables are rare but include vascular and nerve injuries, skin damage, hematomas, infections, asymmetry, and pain.
