Our med spa is also a clinical dermatology practice, so we know that aging is a multifactorial process resulting from loss of collagen, elastin, and bone, redistribution of fat, and altered support structures, such as cutaneous ligaments. This results in skin that looks deflated, saggy, and tired. Soft tissue fillers, also called dermal fillers, help women and men from Toronto, Woodbridge, Vaughn, Richmond Hill, and throughout the region restore lost volume and provide a softer, more natural, and younger-looking appearance with cheek enhancement, lip injections, and more.
Your 360⁰ Dermal Filler Consultation
During the consultation process, we assess you as an individual and take a 360⁰ approach to refining your look. We’ll start by discussing your overall goals and focusing on your specific concerns, answering any questions you may have. With your permission, we will also perform our signature full-face assessment, moving comprehensively from top to bottom and discussing the pros and cons of each treatment option. After a detailed discussion, we will formulate a customized treatment plan to meet your unique goals.
Dr. Bertucci’s expertise in this holistic assessment is reflected in his published, peer-reviewed research and his role as director of instructional courses on 360-degree injection techniques for organizations such as the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery and the American Academy of Dermatology.
What Fillers Do You Offer?
Bertucci MedSpa offers JUVÉDERM®, Restylane®, Belotero®, Teosyal®, Revanesse® RADIESSE®, Sculptra®, and other dermal fillers in Vaughan for Toronto-area women and men who want to restore skin’s natural contours.
Injectable fillers are used to increase volume and facial fullness, which in turn reduces the appearance of wrinkles and improves facial contours. They are not the same as wrinkle-smoothing injectables, which are muscle relaxers that reduce facial muscle contraction, thus diminishing wrinkles and providing a refreshed appearance.
Dr. Vince Bertucci and his team of injectors offer many popular hyaluronic acid (HA)-based dermal fillers at our clinic, including the following:
JUVÉDERM®: The JUVÉDERM® family of products is popular in Toronto thanks in part to its versatility and reliably good results. Available in various formulations, JUVÉDERM® products can be used to add volume and smooth away lines anywhere on the face.
Restylane®: This soft tissue filler can be used to refine facial contours and smooth even deep wrinkles and folds.
BELOTERO®: This versatile filler was formulated specifically to complement the curves and contours of your unique face for customized results with a family of products.
TEOSYAL®: This expansive range of HA fillers features products containing RHA (resilient hyaluronic acid), which preserves natural, dynamic movement in the treated areas.
Revanesse®: These HA fillers are made here in Canada and feature spherical molecules that provide uniform smoothness and volume with less post-treatment swelling.
Collagen-Stimulating Dermal Fillers
We also offer other dermal fillers, including Sculptra Aesthetic® and RADIESSE®, that can improve skin quality on the face and body by stimulating collagen development. These fillers, sometimes called biostimulators, typically last longer than hyaluronic acid-based fillers. Sculptra is injected deeper into the skin than other fillers, gradually stimulating new collagen production. Results can last for up to 2 years. RADIESSE produces immediate results, which continue improving as new collagen builds. Results last for 15 months or more.

Full Face Rejuvenation: Combining Dermal Fillers, Neuromodulators, & More
Combining dermal fillers with a wrinkle-smoothing injectable is sometimes referred to as a “liquid facelift” because it mimics the effects of facelift surgery by strategically injecting fillers and neuromodulators. Full face rejuvenation surpasses the liquid facelift by taking a holistic approach to facial rejuvenation. It creates facial harmony, whether you want to minimize signs of aging or contour facial features. These treatments are safe and effective for people with all skin types and tones.
Our full face rejuvenation treatments address a range of concerns, such as wrinkling, rough skin texture, skin discoloration, and other signs of aging, with treatments such as injectables, lasers, RF microneedling, skin tightening, and more. Depending on your unique goals, the results may:
Help you look more alert, rested, and content
Tighten and smooth your skin
Restore a radiant complexion
Create a lifted, refreshed appearance
Enhance your facial contours
Results from a full face rejuvenation are temporary and not as dramatic as a surgical procedure, but provide significant enhancements. You can maintain these enhancements with periodic touchup treatments.
Balance. Harmony. Proportion.
We tailor your treatment plan based on a holistic assessment of your appearance, concerns, and goals. This approach combines the art and science of full facial rejuvenation to highlight your unique features.
Lip fillers, sometimes called lip injections, use dermal fillers to improve and enhance the appearance of the lips. Lip filler injections have become popular for individuals from Vaughn, Richmond Hill, Woodbridge, and the Toronto area seeking subtle enhancements without surgery.
What Can Lip Fillers Do for You?
The benefits of lip fillers include:
Adding fullness
Defining lip borders
Enhancing the Cupid’s bow at the center of the upper lip
Balancing the proportion of the top lip with the bottom lip
Smoothing out vertical lip lines
What Are My Lip Filler Options?
Several fillers are formulated specifically for lip enhancement, including JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA®, JUVÉDERM VOLIFT®, and Restylane® Kysse. VOLBELLA has a thinner consistency than Kysse and is an ideal choice for subtle lip augmentation. Kysse’s thicker gel produces more dramatic results, whereas VOLIFT creates results that typically last up to 15 months.
How Long Does a Lip Filler Last?
Lip fillers generally last about 6 months, but it varies between fillers, patients, and other factors (learn more). Kysse and VOLBELLA last up to a year. VOLIFT creates results that typically last up to 15 months.
Preparing for Your Lip Filler Appointment
Following the following instructions in the days before your lip injections will minimize the risk of bruising, swelling, and bleeding:
Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements (such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or fish oil) for at least a week before your appointment.
Refrain from drinking alcohol for 24 to 48 hours before your treatment.
Stay hydrated and moisturize your lips leading up to the procedure for optimal results.
Plan your appointment with enough recovery time in mind.
Let us know about any allergies or sensitivities, especially if it’s your first filler treatment.
Tips for After Your Lip Filler Appointment
Follow these tips to minimize your recovery time and reduce discomfort:
Gently apply ice packs to reduce swelling and bruising, but avoid direct pressure on the treated area.
Stay hydrated and avoid salty foods to minimize swelling.
Sleep with your head elevated for the first night to help reduce any lingering swelling.
Avoid strenuous exercise, hot showers, or saunas for at least 24 to 48 hours post-treatment.
Gently massage your lips as instructed by your provider to soften the filler and ensure even distribution.
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Non Surgical Rhinoplasty (Nose Job)?
People from Toronto, Vaughn, Richmond Hill, and other nearby cities who want to reshape the bridge or tip of their noses may be good candidates for enhancement with injections of a filler. While results are instant and there is no downtime, improvements from a non surgical nose job are temporary.
What Does Filler in the Chin Do?
Our providers can provide non surgical chin augmentation with filler injections to help our patients from the Toronto area add balance and definition to their facial profiles. This alternative to a chin implant provides immediate results without incisions, stitches, or recovery. Results can last approximately 1 to 2 years, depending on the filler and the individual.
How Do You Find the Best Dermal Fillers Injector in Toronto?
Getting the results you want depends on choosing an expert injector. Ensure the provider is a board-certified physician specializing in cosmetic treatments or is under the supervision of one. Research their credentials and experience and review their gallery of before and after photos.
What Can I Expect During a Dermal Filler Treatment?
Injectable treatments are popular thanks to their simplicity and convenience. One session typically lasts less than 30 minutes and usually requires no downtime. Dr. Bertucci injects small amounts of the filler substance into the area in a controlled manner using an ultrafine needle or a blunt-tipped cannula. The latter allows Dr. Bertucci to access a wider area with fewer injections, thus creating natural-looking results while minimizing discomfort and making bruising uncommon.
What Is Recovery Like After a Dermal Filler Treatment?
Some mild, short-lived redness and swelling may develop at the injection site immediately following treatment. In some cases, bruising may occur. However, this risk is minimized with the use of flexible blunt-tipped cannulas. Rarely, other side effects may occur. Most people find that their issues resolve within a few days to a week after treatment.
How Long Do Dermal Filler Results Last?
Results can typically be observed right after treatment with hyaluronic acid fillers (e.g., JUVÉDERM®) and calcium hydroxylapatite (RADIESSE®) and may continue to develop over time with poly-L-lactic acid (Sculptra®). Results will vary based on the type of dermal filler used, individual skin conditions, and the amount injected. Generally, however, most people experience a more refreshed, relaxed, and youthful-looking appearance with fewer wrinkles and enhanced facial shape and volume following their treatment.
How Long Do Tear Trough (Under Eye) Filler Results Last?
Results from under eye filler injections benefit our Toronto-area patients as long as 12 to 18 months depending on the specific filler used and individual patient factors.
