Everything You Need to Know
How to Prepare
To ensure beautiful, long-lasting results, here’s how to prepare for your Dermal Filler appointment at Kelowna Hills:
Comprehensive Consultation: Your experience begins with a detailed assessment by one of our expert injectors. We’ll discuss your areas of concern—whether it’s restoring volume in the cheeks, defining lips, or softening lines—and create a customized treatment plan to meet your goals.
Avoid Blood Thinners: Refrain from taking aspirin, ibuprofen, or other NSAIDs for at least 5–7 days before treatment, as these may increase bruising. Always consult your physician before stopping any prescribed medication.
Limit Alcohol and Caffeine: Avoid alcohol and excessive caffeine for 24 hours before your appointment to reduce the risk of swelling or bruising.
Stay Hydrated: Proper hydration helps your skin respond optimally to treatment and promotes quicker recovery.
Arrive with Clean Skin: Please come to your appointment with no makeup, sunscreen, or skincare products applied to the treatment area.
What to Expect
Our physician-led team is dedicated to making your treatment experience comfortable, personalized, and results-focused:
Precise and Personalized: Each injection is performed by highly trained professionals with deep knowledge of facial anatomy, ensuring symmetry, balance, and natural enhancement.
Advanced Techniques: We use refined methods such as micro-cannulas or precision needles to minimize discomfort and bruising while achieving smooth, even results.
Comfortable Experience: A topical numbing agent or lidocaine-infused filler may be used to ensure your comfort during treatment. Most clients describe the process as quick and tolerable.
Immediate Results: You’ll notice visible improvements right away, with full results settling within 1–2 weeks as any minor swelling resolves.
Aftercare
To help ensure the best possible outcome and support optimal healing, follow these simple post-care guidelines:
Avoid Touching the Area: Do not press, rub, or massage treated areas for at least 24 hours unless instructed by your injector.
Stay Upright: Keep your head elevated and avoid lying down for 4 hours after your treatment.
Skip Heat and Sweat: Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, or hot yoga for 24–48 hours to reduce swelling and prevent product migration.
Limit Alcohol and Salt: Reducing alcohol and sodium intake helps minimize swelling.
Avoid Makeup and Active Skincare: Skip makeup, exfoliation, or active ingredients like retinol or acids for at least 24 hours to allow your skin to heal.
Monitor Your Results: Mild swelling or bruising is normal and should subside within a few days. If you have any concerns, our medical team is always available for support and follow-up care.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal Fillers are injectable gels made primarily of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps hydrate and plump the skin. They work by restoring lost volume, smoothing wrinkles, and refining facial contours to create a youthful, rejuvenated look.
Over time, skin loses elasticity and fat, causing hollowing or sagging in areas such as the cheeks, lips, and jawline. Fillers replace this lost support structure, revitalizing your appearance while maintaining natural movement. At Kelowna Hills, our injectors use only Health Canada–approved fillers to ensure safety, precision, and consistently beautiful results. Every treatment is customized to enhance your unique features and bring out your natural confidence.
How long do Dermal Fillers last?
The results of Dermal Fillers typically last between 6 and 18 months, depending on the type of filler used, the area treated, and individual metabolism. Fillers in areas with more movement, such as the lips, may metabolize faster, while structural fillers in the cheeks or jawline can last longer. Over time, many clients notice improved collagen stimulation and longer-lasting outcomes with maintenance treatments.
To sustain consistent results, our injectors recommend scheduling follow-ups before your filler fully metabolizes. This approach ensures a smooth, natural transition and helps maintain balanced, youthful contours. Our team will work with you to develop a long-term plan tailored to your goals and lifestyle.
Can I combine Dermal Fillers with other treatments?
Absolutely. Combining Dermal Fillers with complementary procedures like Botox®, Dysport®, Laser Skin Treatments, or Microneedling can enhance and extend your results. While fillers restore volume and definition, neuromodulators relax dynamic wrinkles, and laser treatments improve tone and texture.
This integrative approach allows for a more comprehensive rejuvenation tailored to your needs. At Kelowna Hills, we specialize in building personalized treatment plans that address both aesthetic and wellness goals for long-lasting, natural results. During your consultation, we’ll guide you through the best combination of treatments to achieve balance, harmony, and confidence.
When will I see results?
Dermal Fillers deliver instant results, though it may take a few days for swelling to subside and the product to fully settle into place. As your skin adjusts, the treated areas will appear smoother, plumper, and more defined. Most clients see optimal results within 1 to 2 weeks, once any residual tenderness has resolved.
These improvements often continue to refine as collagen production is stimulated and the filler integrates with your tissue. Our injectors may recommend a follow-up appointment to ensure everything looks perfectly balanced and natural. The result is a refreshed, youthful appearance that feels authentically you.
Are there any side effects?
Dermal Filler treatments are generally well-tolerated, with side effects limited to mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites. These temporary reactions typically resolve within a few days as the skin heals. Rarely, small lumps or unevenness may occur, but these are easily managed with gentle massage or minor adjustments by your injector.
To minimize risk, we use advanced injection techniques and provide detailed aftercare instructions. Our team will review all potential side effects during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect. At Kelowna Hills, patient safety and satisfaction are our foremost priorities throughout every step of your journey.
Can men get Dermal Fillers?
Yes, Dermal Fillers are an excellent option for men who want to maintain a strong, refreshed appearance without looking “done.” Many male clients seek fillers to define the jawline, restore cheek volume, or smooth deeper facial lines while keeping a masculine look. At Kelowna Hills, our injectors are experienced in male facial anatomy and understand the importance of precision and subtlety in achieving balanced results.
Treatments are tailored to each client’s unique structure to preserve natural strength and character. Fillers for men are discreet, efficient, and provide noticeable yet refined enhancements. Whether you want to look less tired or simply more confident, our team ensures results that look effortless and authentic.
Are Dermal Fillers safe?
Yes, Dermal Fillers are considered safe and effective when administered by qualified medical professionals using approved products. At Kelowna Hills, every procedure is performed under physician supervision, following the highest medical and safety standards. Common side effects such as mild redness, tenderness, or swelling are temporary and usually resolve within a few days.
Our injectors take great care in assessing your medical history and anatomy to ensure the treatment is suitable for you. We also use advanced injection techniques designed to minimize risk and maximize comfort. Your safety, satisfaction, and confidence are our top priorities from consultation to post-care.
