Dermal Fillers in Laval: Restore Facial Volume and Refine Facial Contouring with a Board-Certified Dermatologist

What Are Dermal Fillers and How Do They Restore Facial Volume?

Dermal fillers smooth wrinkles and naturally restore lost volume in the face and lips for balanced, natural-looking and refined results.

At Clinique D, dermal fillers are used to restore facial harmony and address the visible effects of aging. Under the supervision of Dr. Danielle Brassard, dermatologist, each treatment is based on a comprehensive understanding of facial anatomy, tissue quality, and the natural evolution of facial volume over time.

Dermal fillers are injectable substances designed to work at different anatomical levels of the face. Depending on the product selected, the depth of injection, and the treatment area, they can provide deep structural support, restore lost facial volume, soften certain wrinkles, or enhance the lips in a balanced and harmonious way.

Their purpose extends beyond correcting an isolated wrinkle or simply adding volume to the lips. When performed with precision, dermal fillers help reestablish overall facial balance and coherence between different regions of the face.

At Clinique D, the evaluation never focuses on a single line, crease, or hollow. The skin, underlying soft tissues, and bone structure are assessed together to avoid isolated corrections that could disrupt the natural proportions of the face.

“Each injection must be guided by the unique anatomy and dynamics of every face. A successful treatment is recognized by its natural appearance, never by its presence.”
— Dr. Danielle Brassard, Dermatologist and Medical Director, Clinique D

The goal is never to simply “fill,” but to restore harmonious structural support so the face, including the lips, appears refreshed, natural, and subtly rejuvenated.

What Are the Main Types of Dermal Fillers Used in Aesthetic Dermatology at Clinique D?

Discover how to choose the best dermal filler to reduce wrinkles and restore facial and lip volume safely and naturally.

In aesthetic dermatology, not all dermal fillers are the same. Their composition, texture, depth of action, and clinical purpose vary significantly. At Clinique D, the approach is to select the right product for the right indication, whether the goal is to soften specific wrinkles, restore facial volume, or refine the lips, to achieve natural, balanced, and safe results.

1) Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Dermal Fillers

Hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers are the most used fillers in aesthetic dermatology, largely due to their versatility. They allow for highly precise adjustments depending on the treatment area — whether addressing static wrinkles, restoring lost facial volume, or enhancing lip definition and hydration.

Hyaluronic acid naturally attracts and retains water, integrating smoothly into the surrounding tissues. This property helps soften transitions, provide structural support, and deliver flexible, natural-looking results.

Commonly used brands include Juvéderm, Restylane, and Belotero. Each product line offers different textures and densities, softer formulations for dynamic areas such as the lips, and more structured options designed to support specific facial regions, allowing treatments to be tailored to each patient’s anatomy and facial movement.

2) Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) Dermal Fillers

Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), with Radiesse as a well-known example, is often selected when stronger structural support is required. It is particularly useful for enhancing facial contours and addressing areas where volume loss and structural changes contribute to the appearance of deeper wrinkles.

One of its key characteristics is its ability to stimulate the body’s natural collagen production. This biostimulatory effect supports a gradual improvement in skin firmness and facial support over time.

3) Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA) Biostimulatory Dermal Fillers

Unlike fillers that provide immediate wrinkle correction or instant lip volume, biostimulatory injectables work more gradually. Sculptra, for example, stimulates natural collagen production to progressively restore the structural quality of the tissues.

This approach is particularly beneficial when the goal is a global improvement in facial support rather than a localized correction.

In practice, these different categories are considered complementary tools:

Hyaluronic acid fillers to precisely soften wrinkles and enhance the lips;
Radiesse (calcium hydroxylapatite) to reinforce structural support and enhance specific contours;
Sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid) to stimulate long-term improvement in tissue quality and density.

The choice of product always depends on facial anatomy, the treatment area, the degree of volume loss, and the desired outcome, with a constant priority: preserving natural expression and overall facial harmony. Dr. Danielle Brassard’s expertise in aesthetic dermatology guides each treatment plan with precision and rigor.

Are Dermal Filler Results Natural and Reversible?

Dermal fillers provide natural, gradual results, with reversible options depending on the product used.

Yes — when carefully planned and performed with dermatologic precision, dermal fillers provide natural-looking, progressive results and, depending on the product selected, may be reversible.

Hyaluronic acid fillers, such as Juvéderm and Restylane, are composed of a substance naturally present in the skin. Hyaluronic acid plays a key role in hydration and structural support. When strategically injected, it can soften certain wrinkles, restore facial volume, and redefine the lips while integrating seamlessly with existing tissues.

Other fillers, including Radiesse (calcium hydroxylapatite) and Sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid), are not naturally occurring substances in the skin; however, they are biocompatible and resorbable. This means they are well tolerated by the body and gradually break down over time. Their primary action is to stimulate the skin’s natural collagen production, contributing to progressive improvement in tissue support and firmness.

In terms of reversibility, hyaluronic acid fillers can be adjusted or dissolved when necessary, offering an additional layer of safety. Other filler types cannot be dissolved in the same way, but they are resorbable and naturally diminish over time.

At Clinique D, Dr. Danielle Brassard’s objective remains constant: to achieve results that are natural, proportionate, and harmonious, while preserving the unique expression and identity of each face.
