Juvéderm® Hylacross Fillers

We are currently focusing on the lips, nasolabial folds, marionette lines and cheeks.            Each area typically takes 1 vial to treat, but sometimes more (or less).             

The cost is $700 per vial + 5% GST + 2.65$ Square Reader Fee (Cheque or Cash also accepted without the fee).           

There is a $100 'no show' fee for fillers, which also applies to appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours of notice.             

Nothing in cosmetic medicine is an exact science, so the physician you work with may be willing to modify or add on different treatment areas depending on the clinical situation.

Typically, 6-12 months. 

No. However, please book only by phone (778-265-1377 ext. 1) for this so we can schedule a 15 minute appointment with the doctor, rather than a 30 minutes one. 

All filler bookings have to be made by phone (778-265-1377, option #1). Please do not book online for this service.            

Appointments are ~30 minutes. Please arrive 20-30 minutes early if you would like some topical lidocaine/freezing applied (see below).

Patients are asked to arrive with no makeup, sunscreen, moisturizer or foundation on their face. Please have your hair tied back and face carefully washed right before treatment.       

If you have had facial fillers before, it is important to tell the doctor when this was done, the type of fillers used, and the location injected (adding a different type of filler to an already existing one can sometimes lead to the formation of granulomas / "scarring"). 

Avoid vigorous exercise, alcohol and the sun for 24 hours after treatment.         

Consider sleeping with a 'travel pillow' so that you do not push your face into the bed at night.

Apply ice to the treated area(s) multiple times over a 48-72 hour period. 

Yes. We may use cannulas when injecting certain areas of the face and this can result in a better safety profile.  

Any medical procedure has risk for complications, and Juvederm® is no different. Carefully review the Informed Consent sheet and ask any questions you may have.         

Patients can almost always expect swelling for a few days after treatment (especially the lips) and may have bruising as well (use lots of ice after the procedure is done).         

Cold sores are also known to reoccur after having the lips treated, so make sure to speak to the doctor if you are prone to these.         

Serious side effects include facial blood clots (with tissue necrosis or scaring) and although very rare, blindness. 

Fillers are a more advanced cosmetic procedure, and although we treat the more 'simple' areas at our clinic, sometimes the final cosmetic result (at the 2 week mark) is still not the ideal look for the patient.        

Once injected, the Juvéderm we use has the ability to be 'molded' for up to 24 hours after the procedure. However once set, there is nothing more that can be done to change the final look of the filler(s) for the next 6-12 months (apart from reversal, see below).                

In such a scenario, we do offer a free reversal with hyaluronidase (as long as the original filler procedure was done at our clinic). This process typically takes 1-2 weeks to 'break down' the injected filler.             

We do require a photograph to be taken of the patient prior to all filler procedures, as well as afterwards if there is a complication / undesired cosmetic effect. Photo(s) will only be used for medical documentation.            

IMPORTANT: We will not provide any refund and/or complementary vial(s) for undesired cosmetic effects. This is simply a potential risk of any cosmetic medical procedure. 

First and foremost, if you are ever seriously unwell and need to seek immediate medical attention, call 911 or attend your local Emergency Department. 

Otherwise, please contact our clinic immediately by phone and one of our doctors will get back to you.
