Injectables and Fillers IN VANCOUVER, WA & PORTLAND, OR

As long as you are healthy and at a stable weight, you are a good candidate for getting fillers in Vancouver. There are many ways they can improve the quality of your life. Anyone can benefit from an injectable or filler treatment.

Most of the injections take about half an hour on the day of your treatment. During your consultation we will analyze your current health and discuss your specific needs and expectations.

You may feel minor discomfort when the filler is injected into your body. A numbing cream can be applied to your skin to help provide some pain relief if needed.

It is recommended that you wait one or two days before resuming any strenuous activities and allow the swelling to go down. You should avoid any exercise on the day of your treatment.

It depends on the procedure you have and how your body reacts to things such as the production of collagen. Fillers can last up to 18 months and can occasionally continue for a few years.

Yes, treatment can be reversed or adjusted if you have second thoughts after your procedure.

In most cases, there will be minimal recovery-time after your procedure. Vancouver injectable & filler patients can expect some swelling for a few days and possibly minor pain. You can apply a cold pack if you feel some soreness. You will definitely need to rest and not exercise for a day or two and refrain from any strenuous activities for at least two days to let the swelling dissipate. Your recovery may be a bit longer if you bruise easily or if the treatment involves the eyes, a more noticeable part of your face. It is best to avoid the sun or any extreme heat for at least two weeks following your procedure.

One of the biggest benefits of injectable treatments is that most have little to no recovery time and results can be seen in less time after your procedure. With some treatments, the results are immediate and you can start seeing an improvement immediately upon leaving our Vancouver office! With HA fillers, such as Juvéderm, you will see the results start to develop over time, as the collagen builds up naturally within the skin and helps to improve skin from the inside out.

For many patients, the concept of getting injected with needles can be scary and off-putting. Most assume it will hurt and be uncomfortable during the application. When performed by one of our experienced injectors, patients will experience a gentle approach that is intended to be comfortable and as painless as possible. To help reduce any potential discomfort, a topical anesthetic can be applied up to 30 minutes before your procedure. Numbing agents like ice can also help keep you from feeling anything during injections.

Thanks to the flexible nature of injectables, these procedures may be available to just about everyone. For those in their 20s, injectables may be useful as a preventative option, or to reduce scarring due to acne. For patients in their 30s and 40s, it can help to address facial wrinkles, loose skin, and even deep scarring from sun damage or skin blemishes. Ideal candidates are physically healthy, non-smokers, and have a realistic and positive outlook for their goals. You must be committed to maintaining good skin health in order to see your results last.

Injectable fillers are an excellent solution for patients who are seeking anti-aging and wrinkle treatments. They can also help to augment your lips, cheeks, and areas around the nose and mouth. These are often known as lunchtime treatments, which means they can be performed in one hour or less, the length of a typical lunch break. Additional benefits include little to no downtime, minimal risk and side effects, and fast-acting results. Injectables like Juvéderm use naturally-occurring ingredients like hyaluronic acid to help achieve a fuller, more defined facial contour.

Many injectables can be combined with each other to target different areas of the face and deliver a comprehensive treatment. Botox and Juvéderm work excellently together to help reduce wrinkles and fill out sunken areas on the face. During your consultation at our state-of-the-art Med Spa in Vancouver, patients can discuss their desired results and design a plan that will best suit their unique needs and aesthetic goals.
