Dermal
Fillers
At Oak Skin, dermal fillers are administered with one philosophy: enhance, never alter. Our naturopathic-led approach uses hyaluronic acid to restore lost volume, define facial contour, and create natural results that look like you — only refreshed.
The laser that works for every skin tone
Dermal fillers are injectable gels — most commonly made from hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the skin — used to restore lost volume, smooth deep lines, and enhance facial contours. As we age, fat pads in the face shift and diminish, creating hollowness, flattening cheeks, and deepening folds.
At Oak Skin in Burnaby and Victoria, all filler treatments are performed with a precision-first philosophy. We use only premium hyaluronic acid fillers and take a conservative, artistic approach — adding volume gradually and evaluating results at every stage to ensure the outcome is natural, balanced, and proportionate.
Hyaluronic acid fillers are fully reversible and gradually metabolized by the body over 9–18 months, making them one of the safest and most flexible aesthetic treatments available.
WHAT ARE DERMAL FILLERS?
TREATMENT AREAS
Where we use dermal fillers
LIPS
Natural lip augmentation and definition — adding subtle volume, enhancing shape, and softening lip lines without an overdone result.
CHEEKS & MIDFACE
Restoring lost midface volume to lift and contour — creating a naturally youthful facial structure without a "filled" appearance.
NASOLABIAL FOLDS
Softening the lines between nose and mouth by addressing volume loss in the cheeks and midface — the source of these folds.
UNDER EYE (TEAR TROUGH)
Carefully placed filler beneath the eyes to reduce hollowness and dark circles — one of the most technically demanding and rewarding filler treatments.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Dermal fillers FAQ
Do dermal fillers hurt?
Most dermal fillers contain lidocaine — a local anesthetic — which significantly reduces discomfort during injection. Topical numbing cream is also applied beforehand. Most clients find the procedure very tolerable.
Can fillers be reversed if I don't like the result?
Yes — hyaluronic acid fillers can be fully dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase, restoring your face to its pre-treatment appearance. This is one of the key safety advantages of HA fillers.
How long do dermal fillers last?
Results typically last 9–18 months depending on the area treated and individual metabolism. Lips tend to metabolize faster, while cheek and jawline fillers often last longer.
What's the difference between fillers and Botox?
Neuromodulators (Botox/Dysport) relax muscles to soften dynamic lines caused by movement. Dermal fillers add volume to restore structure and smooth static lines. They are complementary treatments that are often used together.
