Dermal Fillers in Ottawa
Dermal fillers are hyaluronic-acid gels injected to restore lost volume and refine contour in the lips, cheeks, chin, jawline and under-eyes. At Luma Skin Clinic in Ottawa, our nurse injector uses an anatomy-first, less-is-more technique — results are immediate, refined over two weeks, and typically last 9–18 months.
Nurse-led · Health Canada–approved fillers · Numbing included
Volume where you lost it, definition where you want it
Immediate, adjustable results
You see the change in the mirror before you leave. Because we build gradually and check your reflection as we go, the result is shaped with you — not delivered to you.
Reversible by design
We use hyaluronic-acid fillers, which can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if you ever want to adjust or undo the result. Low commitment, high confidence.
More than lips
Filler restores mid-face volume, sharpens jawlines, balances chins and softens under-eye hollows — often the changes people notice most as 'looking rested.'
Your dermal fillers plan
- Book at least two weeks before events — swelling and bruising need time to settle.
- Avoid alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen and fish-oil supplements for 24–48 hours before to reduce bruising (check with your doctor before pausing any medication).
- Reschedule if you have an active cold sore, rash or infection near the treatment area.
- Not performed during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
- Your nurse injector assesses your facial proportions and maps a placement plan with you.
- Topical numbing is applied; the filler itself also contains lidocaine.
- Product is placed gradually, checking your reflection together as we go.
- Expect 45–60 minutes for your first visit, including your assessment.
- Mild swelling, tenderness or bruising is normal for a few days — arnica and cold compresses help.
- Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, saunas and dental work for 24–48 hours.
- Don't press on or massage the area unless we've told you to.
- The refined final result appears at about two weeks — we'll invite you back if any balancing is needed.
Priced per syringe, planned per face
Fillers start at $490 to $650 per syringe depending on the area of the face. Lips are usually 0.5–1 syringe; cheeks, chin or jawline often use 1–2 per visit. At your assessment we agree on exactly what's needed — and what isn't — before anything is opened.
Your total is confirmed at your assessment, before any product is used.
Dermal Fillers FAQ
How much do dermal fillers cost in Ottawa?
At Luma Skin Clinic, dermal fillers start at $490 to $650 per syringe. Most areas (lips, cheeks, chin, jawline) use 1–2 syringes per visit. We map exactly what you need at your assessment and confirm the total before any product is opened.
How long do dermal fillers last?
Most hyaluronic-acid fillers last 9–18 months depending on the product, the area treated, and your metabolism. Lips typically fade faster than cheeks or chin because they move more.
Will filler look fake or overdone?
Not with a conservative, anatomy-first approach. We build gradually — a little product placed precisely beats a lot placed quickly. You approve the look in the mirror before we finish, and we'd rather book a second visit than overfill.
Does getting filler hurt?
Discomfort is mild. The filler itself contains lidocaine, and we apply topical numbing before treatment. Most clients describe pressure rather than pain, with lips being the most sensitive area.
Can dermal filler be dissolved if I change my mind?
Yes. Hyaluronic-acid fillers can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase, which breaks the product down within days. It's one of the reasons HA filler is considered a lower-commitment treatment.
What should I avoid after filler?
Skip strenuous exercise, alcohol, saunas and hot yoga for 24–48 hours, and avoid pressing or sleeping directly on the area for the first few nights. Mild swelling and bruising are normal and settle within a few days to two weeks.
