Dermal Fillers Vancouver

Erase the signs of aging and enhance facial features for a youthful look without surgery.

Dermal fillers are one of the most dramatic means of reversing the signs of aging, enhancing facial features, and restoring balance through facial sculpting. Our talented physician injectors are known for their artistic vision; often surprising our patients with results that exceed their expectations.

Wrinkles and Lines:

Using hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in the human body, dermal fillers plump skin depressions to create a smooth, light reflective surface that is youthful and flattering. Effective on lines, wrinkles, creases, furrows, hollows and indentations, dermal fillers ease the expression lines that make us appear angry or sad; resulting in a refreshed, more beautiful appearance.

Facial Volume:

Cosmetic filler is the most effective means of restoring volume to faces or hands that have deflated or lost fat because of aging. It is used to “plump” the skin, and when placed strategically—creates a “lifting” effect for a naturally younger appearance. When combined with Botulinum Toxin, a non-surgical facelift is achieved for ultimate West Vancouver facial filler rejuvenation.

Facial Sculpting:

Our cosmetic doctors, Dr. Zheng and Dr. Yam are known for their talent in facial sculpting; providing non-surgical enhancement or augmentation of the nose, cheeks, lips, chin, temples jawline and under-eye hollows to beautify your appearance or correct asymmetries.

At EverYoung, our cosmetic doctors will improve your appearance while maintaining a natural, beautiful result that is never overdone. We invite you to book a consultation and view the many examples of cosmetic transformations performed in our Medspa Clinics in Port Coquitlam, North Vancouver and Burnaby.
