Dermal Filler Services In Barrie
During our youth, our bodies naturally produce high levels of collagen and hyaluronic acid resulting in smooth and supple skin. However, as time passes and natural aging processes occur, these components decrease, leading to aging skin and decreased definition. This can result in the loss of structure and volume, leading to unwelcome lines and deep wrinkles. Our Dermal Filler services in Barrie promote an increase in volume, reducing the look of aging.

Post-Treatment Care - Dermal Filler
Following the treatment, patients can expect minor swelling or bruising around the treatment area. With that being said, most people are able to return to normal daily routines immediately afterwards.
After treatments, we advise our patients to:
- Keep the treatment area clean and avoid putting on makeup for at least 6 hours to guard against infection
- Avoid alcohol, Advil, aspirin, & physical activity for 24 hours after injection
- Avoid excessive rubbing or manipulation of the skin as the gel is quite moveable for the first few days after treatment
