Professional Dermal Fillers in the Comox Valley

Common Areas Treated with Dermal Fillers

At Coastal Dermatology, we customize every treatment to your unique facial anatomy. Popular applications include:

• Lip Augmentation: Add subtle volume, define the “cupid’s bow,” and smooth vertical lip lines.
• Cheek & Temple Contouring: Lift and sculpt the mid-face to combat age-related volume loss.
• Nasolabial Folds & Marionette Lines: Soften the deep creases that run from the nose to the mouth.
• Under-Eye Rejuvenation: Reduce the appearance of “hollow” tear troughs for a more rested look.
• Jawline & Chin Definition: Create a sharper, more balanced profile.
• Scar Revision: Level out indented acne or surgical scars for a smoother skin texture.

The Coastal Dermatology Difference

Unlike “med-spas,” all injectable treatments at Coastal Dermatology are overseen by Dr. Stephen Burgess (MD, DPD, CCFP). Choosing a physician-led clinic ensures:

• Expert Anatomy Knowledge: Precise injections that look natural, never “overdone.”
• Safety First: We stock Hyaluronidase, a safety enzyme used to dissolve HA fillers if needed—a critical safety standard every patient should look for.
• Premium Products: We exclusively use world-leading brands like Restylane and Teoxane, known for their safety profile and long-lasting integration.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do dermal fillers last?

Most HA fillers last between 9 to 12 months, though some specialized products in the Teoxane or Restylane lines can last up to 18–24 months depending on the treatment area and your metabolism.

Does the treatment hurt?

Most fillers are formulated with Lidocaine (a local anesthetic) to ensure comfort during the procedure. We also offer topical numbing creams to make the experience as painless as possible.

What is the difference between Botox and Dermal Fillers?

Botox (neuromodulators) “freezes” the muscles that cause expression lines (like crows’ feet). Fillers, on the other hand, “fill” in wrinkles and restore volume. These two treatments often work best when used together, a combination known as a “liquid facelift.”

Are there any side effects?

Minor swelling and bruising are common and typically resolve within 24–48 hours. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise and alcohol for 24 hours post-treatment to minimize these effects.
