Cheek support
The structural base of the midface. Restoring it lifts the folds beneath rather than filling them, which is why it is usually the first area treated.

Dermal fillers, Mississauga
Restore support to the cheeks, lips, chin and jaw with hyaluronic acid filler, planned by a physician for how your face changes with time, not for a single dramatic moment.
What it treats
Hyaluronic acid placed for structure rather than volume. We treat the cause of a shadow, not the shadow itself, and we use less than most people expect.
The structural base of the midface. Restoring it lifts the folds beneath rather than filling them, which is why it is usually the first area treated.
The lines from nose to mouth corner. Often better softened by supporting the cheek above than by filling the fold itself.
Definition, hydration and shape. We work conservatively and in stages, and a great many lip consultations here end with a lip flip instead.
Projection and definition. One of the most under used areas, and often what a profile actually needs.
The hollow under the eye. The most technically demanding area on the face and the one we decline most often.
Volume loss on the back of the hand, which ages a person as reliably as a face and is rarely treated.
How it works
Nothing is treated until it has been examined by a physician led team, and nothing is repeated until it has been reviewed.
A physician looks at the whole face in movement and at rest, and works out which structure has changed. The plan almost never matches the area the patient walked in pointing at.
We agree what is being treated, in what order, and over how many visits. Filler is staged here. Nobody gets a whole face in one appointment.
Thirty to forty five minutes, with numbing cream and usually a cannula rather than a needle in the higher risk areas. Some swelling and the odd bruise is normal.
Two weeks later, once swelling has fully settled. Filler looks different at day two and day fourteen, and we assess it at fourteen.
Who you will see
Skin&Co sits inside a medical dermatology practice in Mississauga, and every plan is set by a physician. Dr. Ejaz is a graduate of the University of Toronto Faculty of Medicine and its Dermatology Residency Program, and a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.
Her approach is built around subtle, refined results that keep a face recognisably your own, and an honest answer when a treatment is not the right one for you.
When we say no
A consultation sometimes ends with less treatment than you expected, or none. These are the situations where we will tell you so.
Questions
Numbing cream first, and most fillers contain a local anaesthetic. In the higher risk areas we use a blunt cannula rather than a needle, which is both safer and more comfortable.
Six to eighteen months depending on the product and where it sits. Lips move constantly so they go fastest. Chin and cheek last longest.
Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved with an enzyme, which is one of the main reasons we use them. That is not true of every injectable, and it is a reason to ask what you are being given.
Not if the plan is staged. The overfilled look comes from treating many areas at once and from repeating before the last round has broken down. We do neither.
Less than you think, and we will not know until you have been assessed. Anyone quoting a syringe count before examining your face is guessing.
One to three days of mild swelling. Bruising is possible and peaks around day three. Most people go back to work the same day.
