Is Filler Right for You?

In the world of aesthetic medicine, few treatments create as much curiosity, and caution, as dermal fillers. You've probably seen both ends of the spectrum: from subtle, refreshed results to outcomes that look noticeably “done.”

At Valēre, we offer a restrained approach to filler one rooted in anatomical respect, and intention. If you’re curious about facial fillers but hesitant to lose what makes you you, this post is for you.

Dermal fillers are injectable gels, most often made of hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in your skin. They add volume, smooth out fine lines, and enhance natural contours.

Common areas we treat:

• Lips (hydration and definition)

• Cheeks (volume loss with age)

• Jawline and chin (for subtle sculpting)

So do YOU need filler? Maybe not.

That’s the honest answer. And one that’s not said often enough. The decision to get filler should be based on:

• Your goals

• Your facial structure

• Your skin health

• And most importantly, your why

If you want to look rested and refreshed, not altered, filler can be a tool, not the solution.

What Makes Our Approach Different?

• We’re critical care nurses trained to prioritize anatomy, safety, and client outcomes

• We focus on skin-first care, meaning we often improve underlying health before layering in injectables

• We know filler is never the first or only solution. It's part of a larger, regenerative plan for healthier, more resilient skin

What to Expect from Treatment

• Results are immediate, but refine over 1–2 weeks

• Most clients return to normal activities the same day

• Minor swelling or tenderness may occur

• Treatments typically last 6–12 months, depending on the product and area

We use only Health Canada-approved fillers and follow best-practice protocols to ensure optimal safety and results.
