Injectables & Fillers
Vancouver, BC
Achieving a highly refreshed, beautifully balanced appearance does not always require surgical intervention. While surgical transformations like a facelift elegantly lift sagging muscle structures, everyday signs of facial exhaustion, such as deep expression lines, hollowed under-eyes, flattened cheeks, and thinning lips, can be masterfully corrected with advanced injectable therapies. These low-downtime, non-surgical options offer an exceptional way to reflect your inner vitality in your outward appearance.
Dr. Prince leverages her extensive reconstructive background to evaluate your face as a dynamic, three-dimensional structure. By precisely targeting specific muscle groups and dermal tissue depths, she identifies the areas where tailored injectable treatments can smooth away fine lines and restore lost volume.

15 to 45 minutes per treatment session
Injectables and dermal fillers are a specialized category of micro-invasive, medical-grade facial rejuvenation treatments that target the structural indicators of aging without incisions. These highly focused treatments work by precisely intercepting the two main drivers of facial aging: repetitive muscle contractions that carve wrinkles into the skin surface, and the natural, gradual loss of deep facial fat pads and structural bone mass.
By tailoring injectable treatment plans to your unique features, these precise injections lift, smooth, and re-anchor your contours, revealing a youthfully vibrant and soft profile.
Using ultra-fine, microscopic needles or advanced, blunt-tipped micro-cannulas, your aesthetic specialist will place the selected product into the targeted layers of the face, checking your symmetry from multiple angles after each pass to avoid unnatural pooling or overcorrection. Once the targeted lines or volume deficits are beautifully balanced, the area is gently cleansed, and a soothing post-treatment balm or a targeted cooling compress is applied to minimize localized swelling and facilitate immediate, clean healing.
While this precise injectable suite focuses heavily on high-visibility coordinates of the face (including the forehead, eyes, cheeks, lips, and jawline), these flexible therapies extend further, like using neurotoxins to smooth aging neck bands and treat severe underarm sweating (hyperhidrosis), or deploying biostimulatory matrices like Sculptra to smooth out localized tissue irregularities and skin crinkling on the chest or hands.
Injectables and dermal fillers can provide medical-grade correction for a wide variety of facial aging and volume concerns:
Botox and alternative cosmetic neurotoxins represent the global gold standard for relaxing overactive facial muscles and smoothing dynamic expression wrinkles. These purified proteins work by precisely blocking the localized nerve signals that trigger repetitive muscle contractions, allowing the overlying skin surface to completely relax and smooth out. Dr. Prince administers these injections with exceptional precision, targeting concerns like stubborn forehead bands, vertical frown lines, and crow's feet while maintaining your natural expressions. The treatment takes only a few minutes to perform, with the line-smoothing effects elegantly developing over the first week to reveal a refreshed, stress-free appearance.
Our premium dermal filler selection features two distinct structural mechanisms designed to restore lost facial volume and re-anchor sagging tissues. We utilize the Juvederm family of advanced hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers to deliver immediate, cross-linked moisture gel directly into hollowed temples, sunken tear troughs, flat cheeks, and thinning lips for instant, remarkably soft volume correction. For global structural remodeling, we integrate Sculptra, an advanced poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) injectable that acts as a powerful biocompatible biostimulator beneath the skin. Rather than simply filling a crease mechanically, Sculptra gradually triggers a massive cascade of your own natural collagen production over several months, subtly thickening the deep dermal layers to restore firm, long-lasting facial contours.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy harnesses the natural regenerative power of your own blood cells to stimulate cellular growth, tissue healing, and collagen synthesis. The process involves a brief in-office blood draw, after which the sample is placed into a clinical centrifuge to isolate a highly concentrated plasma rich in vital growth factors and signaling proteins. When meticulously injected into the face (often called a vampire facial), PRP floods the dermal layers to erase dullness, repair fine crinkling, and restore a radiantly youthful, healthy glow. When strategically delivered into the scalp tissue, these concentrated growth factors re-awaken dormant hair follicles, increase localized blood circulation, and significantly improve hair thickness and active density for patients facing early thinning.
Injectable treatments can unlock immediate daily advantages and long-term aesthetic rewards:
If you are frustrated by early facial drooping, persistent expression lines, hollowed under-eyes, or thinning hair but are not ready for surgery, you are an excellent candidate. Ideal patients are non-smoking individuals in good overall health who maintain a stable weight, possess realistic expectations regarding progressive treatment timelines, and want to preserve their natural features.
During your private consultation at our Surrey clinic, Dr. Prince will thoroughly assess your facial muscle activity, evaluate your skin thickness, and review your health history to develop a safe treatment plan. If your skin is currently experiencing active inflammation, open cold sores, or severe, unmanaged dermatological conditions near the injection sites, you skin will need to be stabilized to baseline before proceeding with your treatment.
Because our cosmetic injectable services are completed using ultra-fine, localized instrumentation, your post-treatment aftercare schedule is remarkably straightforward and light.
There is absolutely zero downtime required; you can comfortably drive yourself home and return straight to remote desk work or stationary daily activities immediately following your visit.
For the first 24 to 48 hours, the injection points may show mild, localized swelling, minor pinkness, or a slight tenderness, which is completely expected and resolves rapidly on its own. To prevent the tracking or migration of neurotoxins to unintended facial muscles, you must keep your head elevated and strictly avoid rubbing your face, lying down flat, or massaging the area for at least 4 hours post-treatment.
You should avoid strenuous cardiovascular gym sessions, hot tubs, and intense facial pressure for the first 24 to 48 hours to minimize the risk of pinpoint bruising.
You will see an immediate, striking improvement in your facial volume and contour fullness, the exact same day you receive hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm. For neurotoxins like Botox, you will notice your stubborn expression lines begin to relax softly within 3 to 5 days, with the final, smooth results fully setting in by day 10. Because cellular biostimulators like Sculptra and PRP rely on your body's native cell machinery to build fresh tissue, their results will emerge gradually, continuously thickening and lifting your profile over 3 to 6 months following your series.
The durability of your injectable outcomes depends on the specific product formulation and your body's natural metabolic rate. Neurotoxin treatments gracefully smooth lines for 3 to 4 months before a maintenance session is needed. Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers typically preserve your soft contours for 6 to 18 months, depending on the level of movement in the treated area. High-performance biostimulators like Sculptra build a permanent structural collagen foundation that sets a youthfully firm facial baseline for up to two full years.
Delivering cosmetic injectables around the dense vascular layers of the face, eyes, and lips without creating unnatural lumps, asymmetry, or vascular blockages requires expert anatomical knowledge. Dr. Prince brings decades of masterful clinical judgment and advanced surgical precision to her private practice in Surrey.
Her extensive background in complex microsurgery and reconstructive plastic surgery enables her to assess your facial aging with scientific accuracy.
Dr. Prince provides a highly welcoming, supportive, and completely non-judgmental environment where your personal rejuvenation goals are met with total dignity and respect. She completely rejects mass-produced, overfilled trends and dedicates ample time to listening to your lifestyle preferences. Dr. Prince and her dedicated clinical team ensure you feel completely safe, perfectly informed, and thoroughly supported throughout your aesthetic journey.
Wrinkle-relaxers (neurotoxins) and dermal fillers target two completely different types of facial aging lines. Neurotoxins temporarily relax the overactive underlying muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles when you express yourself, making them ideal for forehead lines, frown furrows, and crow's feet. Dermal fillers do not affect muscle movement; instead, they use smooth gels to fill static lines visible even when your face is completely at rest, while restoring lost padding to hollowed or deflated contours.
Dr. Prince adheres to a conservative "less is more" philosophy, targeting precise structural anchor points rather than over-saturating the tissue. Her goal is simply to restore the natural padding and smooth transitions you had in your youth, ensuring you look beautifully rested and vibrant.
If you choose to stop maintaining your dermal filler or neurotoxin treatments, your face will simply graduate back to its natural aging trajectory over time. The filler gels will slowly and safely be reabsorbed by your body's natural metabolic processes, and your muscles will regain their full movement, causing your original lines to gradually reappear. Your skin will never look stretched out or more saggy than it did before you started treatments.
Yes, absolutely. Undergoing non-surgical injectable treatments will not prevent you from choosing an advanced surgical procedure, such as a deep plane facelift or an eyelid lift, later in life.
Because the face features a rich network of tiny superficial blood vessels, minor pinpoint bruising or localized swelling can occasionally occur at the injection sites. To dramatically reduce this risk, we recommend avoiding blood-thinning over-the-counter medications, herbal supplements, fish oil, and alcohol for 3 to 5 days prior to your appointment, with clearance from your prescribing physician. Applying localized ice packs immediately after your session also helps constrict vessels and facilitates a clean recovery.
