Cheek Filler Treatment in Toronto

At DLK on Avenue, our esteemed team is led by Dr. Lisa Kellett, an expert in dermatology and filler treatments. Our mission is to offer safe and effective cheek filler procedures within the comforting environment of our Toronto-based medical facility.

Before your cheek filler treatment, we ask that you avoid using blood thinners such as aspirin or ibuprofen and fish oil supplements for two weeks to minimize excessive bruising. Additionally, make sure to eat a healthy and well-balanced diet and drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your procedure. It is also advised to avoid alcohol consumption 24 hours prior to your appointment since alcohol can increase the likelihood of experiencing swelling or bruising post-injection.

On the day of your treatment, please arrive with a clean and makeup-free face. If you have any medication questions or concerns, please discuss them with your injection specialist during your consultation.

During the treatment, protective goggles are placed over the patient’s eyes and a thin layer of conductive gel is applied. A hand piece with a cool tip is placed against the skin and the skin is treated with a very brief pulse of light which feels like the snap of a rubber band.

IPL uses wavelengths to correct skin concerns such as hyperpigmentation and signs of aging. The energy waves pass through the epidermis to the targeted lesions in the treatment area. The light heats cells and destroys them, causing your body’s natural healing response to kick in and boost your collagen product to clean up any imperfections.

The procedure takes 20-30 minutes and the patients can return to the regular activity immediately after. A cooling gel is applied to the skin to avoid direct contact with heat, and the IPL system includes built-in cooling for patient safety and comfort.

On the day of your treatment, you'll be in the comforting and professional environment of DLK on Avenue. The actual procedure is relatively quick and involves strategically injecting the filler into the predetermined areas of your cheeks. The injector will administer the product with a fine needle, focusing on areas that provide the most natural and flattering lift and volume to correct the hollowed areas of your cheeks. 

After the injections, you might experience some swelling, redness, or bruising, which is normal and will subside quickly. Your injector will provide you with aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results. 

As the product we use for most cheek fillers stimulates your body's collagen production, the results will become more apparent over time, usually within a few weeks to months after treatment. 

Follow-up appointments may be recommended to assess your progress and determine if additional sessions are needed to achieve your desired outcome.

• Volume Restoration: Adds volume to cheeks, revitalizing facial contours and restoring youthful plumpness, addressing hollow areas or asymmetry for a balanced look.
• Enhanced Definition: Strategic injections around cheekbones enhance definition, creating a sculpted appearance that accentuates natural facial contours.
• Wrinkle Reduction: Minimizes the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines by adding volume beneath the skin, leading to a smoother, rejuvenated complexion.
• Customizability: Offers highly customizable treatments tailored to individual aesthetic goals, with long-lasting effects that maintain cheek volume and definition for an extended period.
