Lip Fillers in Kitchener Waterloo for a Natural, Fuller Look

What are Lip Fillers?

In short, Lip fillers are a popular cosmetic treatment designed to enhance the appearance of your lips, making them fuller, plumper, and more defined. These fillers typically consist of Hyaluronic Acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body, which provides hydration and volume.

What Do Lip Fillers Do?

Lip fillers add volume to your lips, creating a fuller appearance while maintaining a natural look. They can also correct asymmetry, enhance the shape, and smooth out fine lines around the mouth, giving your lips a youthful and refreshed appearance.  

At Elev8 Aesthetics, we’ve had clients visit us that were self conscious about a “gummy smile”. We’ve also had a few clients lately that wanted to add some fullness to their upper lip so that they could have a plump, even, fuller smile. If you have any concerns or questions about your lips, feel free to email, call or text us and we'd be happy to help! 

How Long Do Lip Fillers Last?

This is one of our most common questions and also one of our favourite questions!  When our procedure matches the vision our clients had for their lips, it makes complete sense that they would want their lips to remain full forever!

The longevity of lip fillers varies depending on the type of filler used, your metabolism, and how your body responds to the treatment. Generally, the effects of lip fillers last between 6 to 12 months before a touch-up is needed.

How Does Lip Fillers Actually Work?

Lip fillers are injected into the lips using a fine needle. The Hyaluronic Acid in the filler binds with water molecules in the skin, adding volume and shape to the lips. The procedure is quick and minimally invasive, often completed in under an hour.

We have some great tools to help those that perhaps aren’t comfortable with needles.  We’ve got some cozy blankets, a nice comfortable chair and also a speaker to play your favourite spotify list.  If you're at all

The image below is a handy tool we have on hand to create a vibrating distraction to take your mind off the needles.

What to Expect Before, During and After Your Lip Filler Appointment in Kitchener Waterloo

What Happens Before Your Lip Filler appointment at our Kitchener Waterloo Clinic

We are proud to offer both in clinic and video consults.  In person consults are always recommended, but we are happy to use technology and make our meetings more convenient for you by using zoom or a comparable secure connection.

As we grow our team, it is incredibly exciting to be able to meet our clients at our main location in Kitchener Waterloo, and also at our other locations in Cambridge, Paris, Guelph and now Barrie.  

During your initial consultation, our team will thoroughly discuss what type of lip filler treatment you’re looking for, we’ll review your medical history to make sure the procedure is suitable for you and together we’ll map out what the expected results will be. 

Our handy pre and post care treatment page is also available for our patients to review at any time.

What Happens During Your Lip Filler appointment

During your lip filler appointment, our Nurse Injectors will discuss your desired results and assess your facial structure. A numbing cream may be applied to minimize discomfort before the filler is injected into specific areas of your lips. The process typically takes 30 to 60 minutes.

What Happens After Your Lip Filler appointment?

After your lip filler treatment, you may experience some swelling, redness, or bruising, which usually subsides within a few days. It’s important to avoid strenuous activities and excessive sun exposure for 24-48 hours post-treatment. You’ll notice an immediate improvement in the fullness of your lips, with final results settling in within a week.

We always recommend our patients keep the pre and post care resource page handy and to call us immediately with any concerns.

Can I Get BOTOX and Filler in the Same Appointment?

Our lives are busy, we get it! And we completely understand the desire to consolidate appointments and trips to see your injector. 

We would definitely look at this question on a case by case basis and do a full consultation, but this is definitely possible. 

So, yes! You can receive BOTOX and fillers during the same appointment. Combining these treatments can address multiple concerns, such as wrinkles and volume loss, for a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Does Getting BOTOX Hurt?

The discomfort associated with BOTOX injections is typically minimal. Many of our patients compare the sensation to a small pinch. A topical numbing cream can be applied to reduce any discomfort during the procedure.

We always do our best to prioritize your comfort.  Be it music, a cozy blanket or a cup of tea, we’ll do our best to make sure you’re comfortable.

The Best Clinic for Lip Fillers in Kitchener Waterloo

We’ve touched on some of these topics in previous blogs. There are often many claims of being the “best” in Kitchener Waterloo, or an “award” winning medi spa.  

Truth be told there isn't one industry standard for awards or recognition. In reality, Google reviews or references from friends remains the best starting point to find the Best Clinic for LIp Fillers.

Metrics for awards just can't be measured. So what about those Readers Choice Awards? Well those are great, and we're super happy for the recipients, but as this CBC article shows, these awards are purchased for about $500 per category and sometimes MUCH More. In exchange for being able to use the awards on websites, business owners are required to buy advertising in the local newspaper.

When seeking out the best clinic or cosmetic spa for a treatment in Kitchener, Waterloo or Cambridge, we recommend the following tips:

• Scheduling a consult and seeing how comfortable you are interacting with your potential lip filler injector

• Inquiring to be sure the person doing your consult will also be the injector performing the procedure

• Asking for pre and post pictures of procedures from your injector.  Many clinics are sharing images or using stock photography (ie pictures from Canva) of lips and lip filler procedures. Ask for real pictures if possible.  

• Being open about asking for your Injector's experience and their knowledge of the specific treatment you’re seeking. Lip fillers are one of several cosmetic procedures that can be performed, your injector should be skilled in this area. 

• Injectors are typically running a business or are working for a business owner. And often, they are supplementing income with other work.  We feel your health and wellness deserves the best. And if your injector is a part timer in the profession, there isn’t anything necessarily wrong with that, but these details are often not disclosed. NP’s, RN’s and RPN’s also have differing levels of knowledge and expertise, be sure to check your injectors credentials and also be sure to ask about insurance. Medical procedures carry risks, and your health should be a priority.

When we take the above points into consideration, we’re honoured to among the best injectors. Our team at Elev8 Aesthetic Medicine is truly a dream team when it comes to Injections in the KW Region.

We have two RN’s and an Nurse Practitioner in house, and another Nurse Practitioner as an additional Medical Director.  That’s 3 full time injectors, and a combined 50 years of medical experience amongst our team. We are also strategically aligned with Wilson Health Services with several other practitioners in the clinics.  

Our clients are in the best of care when it comes to getting lip filler treatments in Kitchener, Waterloo & Cambridge.  

Am I a Candidate for Lip Fillers?

Lip fillers are suitable for individuals looking to enhance their lip volume or shape. Ideal candidates are in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and understand the procedure’s benefits and limitations.

A brief consult with our Injectors will allow us to make recommendations for lip fillers based on your individual needs.

Can the Effects of Lip Fillers Be Reversed?

Yes, if you are unhappy with your results or experience an adverse reaction, the effects of hyaluronic acid-based lip fillers can be reversed using an enzyme called hyaluronidase, which dissolves the filler quickly.

We’ve had clients as of late that have visited inexperienced injectors or taken advantage of online promo’s and the procedures haven’t gone well. Even if you didn’t get your lip filler procedure performed by us, we would certainly make ourselves available to try and rectify treatments that you’ve had performed elsewhere. 

How Long Do Lip Fillers Last?

As mentioned earlier, lip fillers generally last between 6 to 12 months, depending on various factors such as the type of filler used and your individual metabolism.

When Will I See Results?

You will see immediate results after the procedure, but the final look will become apparent once the swelling subsides, typically within a week.

The lip filler procedure usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes, making it a quick and convenient option for those with busy schedules. The actual injection time is relatively short, with most of the appointment dedicated to consultation and preparation.

Does Getting Lip Fillers Hurt?

The discomfort during a lip filler procedure is usually minimal. A topical numbing cream is often applied before the injections to make the process as comfortable as possible. Some patients may feel a slight pinch or pressure during the injection.

What Does It Cost to Get Lip Fillers in Kitchener Waterloo?

The cost of lip fillers in Kitchener Waterloo can vary based on the type of filler used and the amount needed to achieve your desired results. On average, you can expect to pay between $500 and $800 per syringe.

As mentioned above, many clinics claim to be the “best” but they make it awfully difficult to find pricing on their websites.

We strive to be completely transparent with our pricing, procedures and protocols.  And we’d gladly provide our clients with any of the information that they need in writing.

Is Getting Lip Fillers Ever Covered by Insurance or OHIP?

Cosmetic procedures like lip fillers are generally not covered by insurance or OHIP, as they are considered elective treatments. It’s important to discuss payment options and any financing plans that may be available with our injectors before the procedure begins.

Financing may be something that we offer down the road. For now, we’d rather our clients seek cosmetic treatments when it’s right for their health and their bank balance. We might change our rationale at some point, but for now we would prefer to not have clients go in to debt to pay for BOTOX or filler treatments.  

What Are Some Other Related Procedures?

In addition to lip fillers, other popular cosmetic treatments include BOTOX, dermal fillers for other areas of the face, and skin rejuvenation procedures like microneedling or chemical peels. Combining these treatments can enhance overall facial harmony and rejuvenation.
