Feeling confident in your own skin never goes out of style.

At JOANNA ORLOWSKI RN NP Medical Aesthetics in Winnipeg, we believe in enhancing your natural features—not altering them. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about dermal fillers: what they are, how they work, and how they can help restore youthful structure and radiance to your face.

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable gels designed to:

Restore lost volume
Smooth fine lines
Subtly sculpt facial contours

Unlike neuromodulators like Botox, which relax muscles to soften dynamic wrinkles, dermal fillers replenish lost structure and support the skin.

At our Winnipeg clinic, we use hyaluronic acid (HA)-based fillers—a naturally occurring substance. These medical-grade fillers are:

Safe and reversible
Long-lasting
Customizable for natural-looking results

Understanding Facial Aging: Why Fillers Make Sense

As we age, changes occur not just on the surface, but deep within the face:

Fat pads shrink and shift, especially in the cheeks and under-eye region
Bone resorption in the temples, jawline, and midface causes sagging and hollowing
Collagen and elastin degrade, leading to wrinkles and skin laxity

These changes result in:

Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
Hollow under-eyes
Flattened cheeks and temples
Jowls and jawline sagging

Dermal fillers restore volume and structure, providing gentle lift and youthful balance—without surgery or extended downtime.

The Treatment Process: What to Expect

Every treatment starts with a thorough consultation. We take time to:

Understand your goals
Assess your facial anatomy
Design a personalized plan that enhances—not changes—your features

Our expert Nurse Practitioner injector uses advanced techniques to:

Inject at the correct depth for natural integration
Create balance and symmetry
Ensure comfort and safety throughout the process

Most treatments are completed in under an hour with minimal downtime. You’ll leave looking refreshed, not overdone.

Avoid applying pressure or massaging treated areas
Sleep elevated the first night to minimize swelling
Stay hydrated and follow a good skincare routine
Delay facials or lasers for 2 weeks

🔔 Plan your filler treatment at least 4 weeks before any major event or travel.

⚠️ To reduce risk of complications:

Avoid dental visits for 4 weeks before and after treatment
Avoid immunizations or vaccines for 2 weeks before and after treatment

You'll receive personalized aftercare instructions at your appointment.

Know the Possible Side Effects

Dermal fillers are generally well-tolerated, but mild, temporary effects are normal:

Redness or swelling at the injection site
Mild bruising
Slight asymmetry during the settling period

Serious complications are rare, especially when performed by a licensed medical professional with advanced training. We’ll guide you through the healing process and are available to support you if needed.
