Dermal Fillers

A younger, more beautiful look can be yours through nonsurgical facial rejuvenation and lip injections with Saypha®, TEOSYAL®, Restylane®, JUVÉDERM®, and other top dermal fillers. At our London, Ontario, clinic we use these remarkable products to fill lines, sculpt lips, restore lost volume, and improve facial contours. Patients visit us for the caliber of care and results they have grown to expect from DermEffects.

Dr. Loo takes a conservative approach to the use of injectables to produce natural-looking results.

Getting the best results using injectable treatments requires a cosmetic dermatology specialist such as Dr. Wei Jing Loo, who combines her refined sense of aesthetics with the techniques she’s honed as a board-certified dermatologist to produce visually pleasing results.

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable products that provide instant rejuvenation and enhancement of the face, lips, and backs of the hands with little to no downtime.

How Much Do Fillers Cost in London, Ontario?

As with most cosmetic treatments, the price of a filler treatment varies from patient to patient based on their specific needs. Dr. Loo takes a conservative approach to the use of injectables to produce natural-looking results. The cost of treatments is based on the amount of filler needed to get the desired results.

Filler Choices

Specialized fillers developed in recent years enable us to treat specific aesthetic concerns more effectively than ever before. We use the JUVÉDERM family of products, plus TEOSYAL and Restylane Skinboosters, to improve lines, folds, and fullness in the skin.

Soft Tissue Fillers

Soft tissue fillers primarily treat wrinkles, folds, and creases around the mouth and in the lower portion of the face. These can include nasolabial folds (“smile lines”), marionette lines that extend down from the corners of the mouth, lip lines, thinning lips, and shallow scars caused by acne.

The soft tissue fillers used at DermEffects include:

• JUVÉDERM: All JUVÉDERM fillers use hyaluronic acid (HA), a molecule that is found naturally in the body. It binds with water in your skin to hydrate it, replenish lost volume, and produce immediate improvements. While these products vary in their uses, which include smoothing wrinkles and sculpting lips, all are safe and provide long-lasting results.
• JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA XC or TEOSYAL Kiss: Lip augmentation is increasingly popular, and VOLBELLA’s unique gel formulation is ideal for the lips. Dr. Loo can add volume and shape to the lips, creating a sensuous appearance without looking unnatural. VOLBELLA can improve thin, wrinkled, or “deflated” lips and reduce the appearance of lines around the mouth for up to 6 months. TEOSYAL Kiss is a great option for improving the contour and providing architecture to the lips. VOLBELLA is best suited for younger patients who want fillers to create pouty lips. VOLBELLA is also approved for tear troughs, and Dr. Loo often uses the filler to treat patients concerned about “bags” under the eyes.
• Teosyal Redensity II: Redensity II is the first filler developed specifically to treat the tear trough area, where injections can improve the appearance of deep hollows, wrinkles under the eyes, and dark circles. These conditions can create a tired, aged appearance even in younger men and women. Redensity II is one of the best fillers for creating a rejuvenated, rested look.
• Restylane Skinboosters: This is a unique form of HA that is injected superficially into the dermis and naturally integrates into the skin to improve radiance, elasticity, and plumpness. Dr. Loo will be one of the first in the area to offer this therapy, which may be combined with radiofrequency microneedling and targeted skincare for rejuvenation of the face and neck.
• Saypha: These versatile HA fillers contain lidocaine for optimal comfort during treatment. The standard formulation is great for correcting mild to moderate facial lines and wrinkles, and for sculpting and plumping up the lips. Saypha Volume smoothes away deeper wrinkles and folds, adds and restores volume to the cheeks and around the eyes, and enhances the shape and fullness of the lips.

Cheek Dermal Fillers & Volumizers

Cosmetic dermatologists understand that facial aging involves more than skin losing its elasticity. Gravity pulls down tissue below the skin, and the cheeks and upper face lose volume. The result is an appearance that looks drawn or hollowed out. The middle of the face can appear flattened. Volumizers restore volume to that area and create a youthful, lifted look that still appears natural.

Volumizers we use at DermEffects include:

• JUVÉDERM VOLUMA XC: VOLUMA is the first injectable filler approved in Canada and the United States designed specifically to add or replace facial volume in the entire cheek area. It is injected deeper than other fillers and creates a “lifted” appearance. As with all our fillers, VOLUMA XC is pre-mixed with a local anesthetic for increased comfort during treatments. VOLUMA is one of the longest-lasting fillers, with results that may last up to a year or more.

Combining Treatments

Nonsurgical facial rejuvenation with dermal fillers can involve a combination of treatments to improve your skin’s tone and texture with little to no downtime required. Options include:

• BOTOX COSMETIC®
• Laser skin resurfacing 
• Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy

Dr. Loo can recommend a detailed treatment plan after your consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between fillers and BOTOX?

The injectable treatments work in different ways to reduce wrinkles. Fillers restore facial volume in areas where the natural aging process has etched lines, folds, and depressions. BOTOX treats wrinkles and lines created by the repeated movements of tiny facial muscles — so-called “dynamic” wrinkles. These include crow’s feet at the corners of the eyes, vertical “worry” lines, and horizontal forehead wrinkles. BOTOX is a purified protein that temporarily blocks the targeted muscles from contracting.

Fillers produce immediate results, while BOTOX and other neuromodulators take several days to take effect and relax the targeted muscles.

Are dermal fillers good for under the eyes?

Dr. Loo uses specific dermal fillers like VOLBELLA and Redensity II to correct dark circles and undereye bags due to lost volume. If your concerns are due to excess pigmentation, you may need platelet-rich plasma therapy (PRP), a chemical peel, or laser skin rejuvenation. As a board-certified dermatologist specializing in treating the delicate skin under the eyes, she will recommend a treatment plan best suited to your unique needs.

What if I’m allergic to fillers?

The beauty of hyaluronic acid and calcium-based fillers such as JUVÉDERM is that they are biocompatible, meaning they should not be harmful or reactive within the human body. Purified collagen fillers derived from cows, which are very rarely used now, required patients to be tested before a treatment to ensure they weren’t allergic to the material.

Patients from around the region travel to DermEffects for JUVÉDERM and other fillers.
