What are lip fillers?
Lip fillers are popular dermal fillers designed to increase lip volume and enhance overall shape. The most popular lip fillers contain substances similar to the hyaluronic acid that the body naturally produces. This treatment involves using a syringe to inject the filler into the lip area to facilitate the look of fuller lips and smooth our laugh lines and wrinkles.
Are lip injections safe?
Absolutely! When performed at a trusted clinic in Calgary, lip fillers are a safe and effective way to minimize signs of wrinkles or thinning around the lip area.
At Preventous, we use quality facial fillers from providers, including Restylane® and Juvéderm® dermal fillers. These products are made with hyaluronic acid, which occurs naturally in the body and helps regulate cell growth.
How long do injections last?
Our lip fillers in Calgary are designed to last approximately six to eight months. Results can vary from patient to patient. Touch-ups can be scheduled to maintain a seamless appearance.
How much do fillers cost in Calgary?
Lip injections in Calgary start at $550 per syringe plus an injection fee (nurse practitioners and physician fees are $300).
Follow-ups include a fee for the product used (syringe or portion of syringe) but are not charged an injection fee. This applies when patients require additional filler in areas that have been previously treated within one month.

How do fillers work?
Our Calgary lip filler treatments involve injecting a syringe into the patient’s lip area. Injections contain hyaluronic acid from facial filler brands such as Restylane®and Juvéderm®. This type of acid helps maintain and regulate cell growth and, when injected into the lip area, shows noticeable results after treatment and in the months following.
What is in lip injections?
Our Calgary clinic uses lip filler from trusted providers like Juvéderm® and Restylane®. Their products are gels made with hyaluronic acid, a substance that naturally occurs in the body. Studies show fillers made with this gel are free of long-term, serious side effects due to the almost identical nature produced in the body.

Are injections painful?
After applying a topical anesthetic, your physician injects the hyaluronic acid with tiny needles. The procedure is relatively painless.
How long does treatment usually take?
You will initially spend some time with your physician discussing your expectations and medical history. The injections themselves only take about 15 to 30 minutes.
What are the side effects and recovery time?
Side effects, if any, include minor redness, swelling, itching or tenderness. If side effects occur, they typically last less than 7 days. There is no recovery time, and you can resume your normal activities immediately.
What results can I expect?
The results from Restylane® or JUVÉDERM® dermal filler injections are noticeable after treatment and can last about 6 – 8 months but vary from person to person. You can have a touch-up done whenever you like to maintain a consistent appearance.
