What areas of the body can hyaluronic acid fillers be used for?
Hyaluronic acid fillers are widely used in aesthetic medicine to enhance the lips, smooth wrinkles, restore lost volume, and sculpt facial features with natural-looking results.
They can be applied to multiple areas, including:
- Upper face and scalp: Scalp treatments (in select protocols), forehead, eyebrows, under-eye hollows, crows’ feet, cat-eye or fox-eye lift effects.
- Mid face: Non-surgical nose reshaping, cheekbone enhancement, liquid facelift, jawline contouring.
- Lower face: Your lips, nasolabial folds, and mouth area (marionette lines).
Results are instantaneous and natural-looking, and it has been demonstrated to be safe for all skin types, as approved by Health Canada.

Frequently asked questions about hyaluronic acid dermal filler injections

Book a free consultation with one of our specialists to discuss your goals and explore the treatment options best suited to you.
Do hyaluronic acid injections hurt?
Most patients say that hyaluronic acid injections do not hurt. You will experience a slight pinch or burn with the initial application and for sensitive skin, we can use a topical anesthetic spray or cream to numb the area being treated.
Is hyaluronic acid the same as Botox®?
No, hyaluronic acid (such as Juvederm®, Restylane®, Teosyal®) and Botox® (neuromodulators / botulinum toxins) are entirely different products used to achieve distinct aesthetic results.
Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally found in the body and is primarily used to restore volume, contour facial features, and smooth static wrinkles. Botox® (neuromodulators / botulinum toxin), on the other hand, works by temporarily relaxing targeted muscles to soften expression lines.
Because they act in different ways, these two treatments are often combined to create a more complete and balanced facial rejuvenation plan.
Are dermal fillers produced naturally by the body?
No, dermal fillers used in aesthetic medicine treatments are biodegradable and biocompatible synthetic replicas of the natural hyaluronic acid produced by the body.
Can you undo or remove hyaluronic dermal fillers?
Yes, the dermal filling treatment with hyaluronic acid can be undone and removed! Unlike Botox, some brands of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers can be reversed with a treatment that uses an enzyme called Hyaluronidase to dissolve the hyaluronic acid.
Results will vary for each person so that is why we provide free consultations to make sure you feel satisfied with the outcome of your aesthetic treatments at our clinics in Quebec.
Are there risks and side effects of getting hyaluronic acid fillers?
The most common side effects are temporary pain, swelling, or bruising at the injection site that usually disappears within 24 hours.
There is absolutely no downtime. You can return to normal activities almost instantly. Hyaluronic acid fillers have been approved by Health Canada and demonstrated to be safe for all skin types.
With these minimally invasive procedures, there is always a risk of infection, asymmetry, or an undesired result. We provide free consultations to make sure we can match your expectations with this treatment and we offer a wide range of other treatments to achieve a satisfactory result.
The marvelous thing about hyaluronic acid dermal filler injections is that it can be reversible in some cases if you don’t like your new look!
How long do hyaluronic acid dermal fillers last?
Depending on the filler used, results can last up to 1 year! And the best thing about hyaluronic acid fillers is that they can be removed if you do not like the results.
How much do hyaluronic acid injections cost?
At Ideal Body Clinic, a typical cosmetic dermal filler treatment with hyaluronic acid costs about $500 per syringe. Unlike other aesthetic clinics in Montreal, we keep our prices comparably low so that we can keep our patients’ best interests as a priority.
What is hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid is a natural gel-like fluid produced by the body that improves cartilage function, skin hydration, stimulates the production of collagen, and helps skin to maintain its elasticity.
It is the most powerful natural moisturizer and it is created by your fascinating body! The hyaluronic acid molecule is like a giant water balloon that can hold 1000 times its weight in water! As it sits in your dermal tissue, this hydration bomb keeps your skin glowing, clear, tight, and elastic. That’s why it’s so essential to youthful skin.
But as we age, the quantity and quality of our hyaluronic acid decreases, resulting in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
That’s why we use hyaluronic acid as dermal fillers to smooth out wrinkles and lines and to enhance the shape and volume of our lips, nose, and jawline.
