Dermal fillers can help diminish the signs of aging and sculpt the face to enhance its natural beauty. At Eternal Beauty Skin Care Clinic, we use these treatments to address wrinkles, treat loss of volume, and reshape facial contours. This approach allows for significant, yet subtle, rejuvenation and sculpting that aligns with your facial structure.
Incorporating the art of aesthetics with patient education is fundamental to our practice. We serve individuals in North York and Toronto, ON, and believe in informing our patients about the benefits and considerations of dermal fillers so they feel knowledgeable about their choices.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable substances that rejuvenate facial skin by reducing the appearance of wrinkles and restoring volume. Fillers are injected beneath the skin’s surface to provide support and structure and promote a smoother, more youthful appearance. Different types of fillers are available, each formulated to target specific concerns and areas of the face, enabling subtle enhancements and volume restoration in a way that complements your natural features.
What Can Dermal Address?
- Loss of Lip Volume and Lip Lines: Lip fillers enhance the fullness of lips that have thinned over time while also smoothing fine lines around the mouth. This rejuvenation can subtly redefine the lips’ shape and restore a more youthful contour.
- Volume Loss in Cheeks: Injectable fillers can reintroduce structure to cheeks that have lost volume, creating a lifted and more defined appearance. This approach helps recapture the cheek’s youthful fullness and enhances facial harmony.
- Deep Nasolabial Folds and Marionette Lines: Facial fillers soften nasolabial folds and marionette lines, which can sometimes cause downward motion on your face. Filling in these areas can make you look more refreshed, youthful, and cheerful.
- Weak Chin or Uncontoured Jawline: For those looking to enhance their chin or jawline, cosmetic fillers are a good non-surgical solution. They can provide a more pronounced chin or a sharper jawline and contribute to a more balanced facial profile.
- Undereye Hollows and Shadows: Under eye filler targets the delicate area under the eyes where shadows and hollows can give a tired appearance. Filling this area can brighten the under-eye region and result in a more rested and vibrant look.
- Aging Hands: Dermal fillers can also rejuvenate the appearance of hands, which often betray signs of aging. By restoring volume to the hands, fillers can diminish the visibility of tendons and veins, giving the hands a smoother, younger look.

A Few Common Questions About Dermal Fillers
How Long Do Dermal Fillers Last?
The longevity of injectable fillers varies by type and the area treated but typically ranges from six to 18 months. Factors such as the specific product used, the area of application, and the individual’s metabolism can influence duration. Regular maintenance sessions can help prolong the effects and preserve the desired outcome.
Are Dermal Filler Injections Uncomfortable?
The comfort level during dermal filler injections can vary from person to person. Most patients report a brief, manageable sensation of discomfort on injection. We employ various techniques to minimize discomfort, including the use of fillers that contain a local anesthetic (lidocaine) and applying a topical numbing cream prior to treatment.
How Long Does the Treatment Take?
A session with cosmetic fillers can take anywhere from 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the areas being treated, whether it is your first time, and what specific goals you have for treatment. The process is relatively quick, allowing patients to return to their daily activities shortly after, with minimal downtime.
How Long Does It Take Dermal Fillers to Work?
The results of dermal fillers can be noticed almost immediately after the injection, with the full effect becoming apparent within a week or two as any potential swelling and bruising subside.
What Is the Before and After Care for Dermal Filler Injections?
Before receiving filler injections, avoiding blood-thinning medications and supplements as approved by your doctor is advisable to minimize bruising. Post-treatment, patients are recommended to avoid intense heat and strenuous exercise for 24 to 48 hours to promote optimal results and reduce swelling.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Dermal Fillers?
Individuals seeking to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, restore facial volume, or enhance features such as lips and cheeks may find facial fillers beneficial. Good candidates are those with realistic expectations and without contraindications to treatment, such as certain allergies or skin infections. A consultation can help determine if fillers are the right choice based on individual needs and health history.
