What should I know about dermal fillers before travelling to Burnaby?
Dermal fillers are injectable gels, most often hyaluronic acid, placed to restore volume or refine contours such as lips, cheeks, chin and jawline. A physician assesses your face and decides what is suitable. Skin Art MD is a physician-led skin clinic at Metrotown in Burnaby, reached from Vancouver on the Expo Line.
People in Vancouver asking about fillers usually want to know how natural the result will look, what the aftermath is like, and what happens if they are not happy. The assessment is the place to ask all three, because the answers depend on the area, the product and your anatomy.
Different areas call for different products and techniques, so the plan is set at the assessment rather than in advance. The change is visible straight away; swelling is common at first and the look settles over about two weeks. How long a filler lasts depends on the product, the area and the individual, typically about 6 to 18 months.
What a visit involves
The visit starts with a facial assessment, not an injection.
Book your visit
Book online or call +1 (604) 639-2581. Say that you are coming from Vancouver and which language you prefer, and plan around opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday, 10:00 to 18:00.
Physician assessment
A physician looks at your facial proportions, discusses what you would like to change, and reviews your medical history. The assessment decides whether fillers are suitable and which areas, if any, to treat.
Treatment
The filler is placed gradually, with the physician reassessing as the treatment goes. Comfort options can be discussed before you start.
Heading home
Most people resume normal activities the same day. Swelling, tenderness and bruising are possible, and you are given aftercare instructions to follow.
Can I go back to work in Vancouver the same day?
Honest expectations make it easier to plan the rest of your day.
The same afternoon
Most people return to normal activities the same day. Some swelling and tenderness at the injection sites is expected.
If your job is client-facing
Swelling or bruising can last several days, and lips tend to swell more than other areas. If you have an important meeting or event, mention it at your assessment so the treatment can be timed around it.
Settling in
The look continues to settle over about two weeks, so judge the result after the swelling has gone down.
Aftercare
Follow the instructions you are given, including on touching the area and on exercise and heat in the early days. Contact the clinic if something does not seem right.

Questions from Vancouver Clients
How do I get to Skin Art MD from Vancouver?+
Take the Expo Line SkyTrain to Metrotown Station. The clinic is at #101 – 4378 Beresford St, Burnaby, BC V5H 0H6. TransLink's trip planner shows the route from wherever you start in Vancouver.
Can I return to work in Vancouver after dermal fillers?+
Most people resume normal activities the same day. Swelling, tenderness or bruising can occur and may last several days, lips in particular, so if you have an event or client-facing day soon after, raise it at your assessment.
How long do dermal fillers last?+
It depends on the product, the area treated and the individual. Lips often last about 6 to 9 months, while cheeks, chin and jaw often last about 12 to 18 months. The gel is broken down naturally over time, and many people return for a top-up as the result fades. The physician discusses what to expect for your area.
What if I am not happy with the result?+
Hyaluronic acid fillers can often be adjusted or dissolved, depending on the situation. The physician explains the options at the assessment, which is one reason to start there.
What are the clinic hours, and how do I book?+
The clinic is open Tuesday to Sunday, 10:00 to 18:00, and closed Monday. Book online or call +1 (604) 639-2581, and mention if you would like Chinese-language support.
How long does the appointment take?+
Planning, marking and numbing come first. The injection itself typically takes 15 to 30 minutes, so most visits fit within an hour, depending on how many areas are treated. Add your travel time from Vancouver, and allow a little longer at a first visit for the assessment.
Do fillers hurt?+
Lips are the most sensitive area, so a topical numbing cream is applied beforehand, and many hyaluronic acid gels include a numbing ingredient. Cheeks, chin and jaw are usually felt mostly as pressure. Comfort can be discussed before you start, and you can ask to pause at any point.
What should I avoid after dermal fillers?+
Avoid the gym and heavy sweating for 24 hours, and avoid touching or massaging the area yourself. Skip saunas and strong heat for 48 hours, sleep on your back the first night, and avoid dental work for 2 weeks. Contact your physician promptly about severe pain, lumps or any skin colour change.
Who should wait before having fillers?+
People with an active cold sore or infection in the area, dental work planned within 2 weeks, pregnancy or breastfeeding, a known allergy to hyaluronic acid or lidocaine, autoimmune conditions, or blood-thinning medication or a bleeding disorder should speak with a physician first. Never stop a prescribed medication on your own.
Will I look overfilled?+
Not when treatment is conservative. An overfilled look comes from too much product or poor placement. The physician works gradually, checks progress with you in a mirror, and may suggest a smaller amount first, so the aim is to look rested rather than changed.
