Botox and Fillers in Coquitlam for Natural-Looking, Balanced Results
Botox and dermal fillers are two well-known injectable treatments for softening lines and restoring volume. At Patchouli Beauty Laser Clinic, treatment is planned around your face, features and goals, with the aim of a refreshed look rather than an overdone one.
What Are Botox and Fillers?
Botox is a prescription treatment that temporarily relaxes selected facial muscles, which may soften expression lines such as frown lines, forehead lines and crow’s feet.
Dermal fillers are gel-like products, commonly hyaluronic acid based, placed under the skin to restore volume, support contours and soften deeper folds. The two treatments do different jobs and are often discussed together. Suitability is decided after an assessment by a qualified provider.
What Can Botox and Fillers Help Improve?
Frown Lines, Forehead Lines and Crow’s Feet
Botox may help soften the appearance of lines caused by repeated facial expressions.
Lips and Cheeks
Fillers may be used to add subtle volume, definition and balance to the lips and cheek area.
Smile Lines and Folds
Fillers can help soften the look of deeper lines around the nose and mouth by restoring lost volume.
Jawline and Chin Contour
Fillers may be considered to support shape and proportion. A plan should look at the whole face, not one area alone.
What Happens During a Botox or Filler Appointment in Coquitlam?
A typical appointment is planned around your face and treatment goals:
Consultation and facial assessment
your concerns, goals, medical history and facial movement are reviewed.
Treatment planning
the product, areas and amount are discussed and agreed with you.
Preparation
the skin is cleansed and, where appropriate, prepared for comfort.
Injection
the product is carefully placed using a technique suited to the area.
Aftercare guidance
you receive instructions, and a follow-up may be suggested to review your results.
Botox vs Fillers vs Other Treatments
Different needs. The right solution.
Botox works on muscle movement, so it suits lines created by expression. Fillers work on volume, so they suit areas that have lost fullness or definition. Many people benefit from one, some from both, and some from neither.
If your concern is skin quality rather than lines or volume, options such as Micro Needling Treatment in Coquitlam or a chemical peel treatment in Coquitlam may be worth discussing. For a broader rejuvenation approach, see our chemical peel treatment in Coquitlam page.
1. Recovery
Botox and Filler Aftercare and Recovery
Small bumps, redness, swelling or bruising can occur after injections and usually settle within days. Botox results build gradually over several days, and filler results are visible sooner but can look fuller while swelling settles.
Follow your provider’s advice. In general, avoid rubbing or pressing the treated area, heavy exercise and heat for the period you are advised, and contact the clinic if something concerns you.
