For anyone and everyone listening, let us be really clear… YOU WILL NOT LEAVE HERE LOOKING FAKE AF. So, if you’re looking for those duck lips, sorry honey but Dot Calm ain’t for you! Our dermal filler treatments are for those who want a refreshed pick me up. Think more European beauty and less Porn star. We think it’s the better choice, but hey, that’s just us. Let Dot Calm help you look like the beauty you know you are!
Did you know that with the right technique, dermal fillers can produce stunning results? By stunning we do not mean the notorious “I’m running for housewives of YYC” look.
These gel-like substances are carefully injected beneath the skin, offering a non-surgical solution to restore lost volume and refine facial and hand contours. Typically made from hyaluronic acid, dermal fillers provide instant transformations, softening wrinkles, filling in skin depressions, and rejuvenating your overall appearance. Beyond anti-aging benefits, they can also sculpt and balance facial features, enhancing symmetry. The procedure involves minimal discomfort, and the impressive results (that won’t get you gawked at) will last anywhere from 10 – 18 months. Some of the more common areas to treat are the nasolabial folds, lips, tear troughs, temples, chin, jawline, and hands.

Dermal Fillers can be used to give your lips the perfect amount of pout and plump for your facial structure. Whether it’s a half or a full syringe, our experienced injector will finesse your lips to the perfect shape and size. Lip Injections are a work of art. We build your lips up a little at a time. No reality show lips here!! They slowly wear away over time, generally 12-18 months after you get them, depending on your metabolism.
Dermal Filler is used to give you the facial contouring you desire, when highlighter and bronzer just aren’t cutting it anymore. Enhance or fill shallow areas under the eyes (eye trough), get a little cheeky, remove smokers’ lines, or sculpt your jaw and chin line, and all without the ‘face freezing’ effects that people often associate with neuromodulators. When done properly, filler can balance out your face of any asymmetries but keep you looking normal.
Even though we love our grandparents, we don’t necessarily want our hands to look like them! Filler can be used to plump up sagging hands, and make veins and tendons less noticeable. The eyes may be the window to the soul, but our hands are one window to our real age! We’re here to add some blinds to those windows, and help provide your hands with a more youthful looking appearance. With minimal downtime filler in your hands lasts anywhere from 6-12 months.
Sometimes over time, receiving bad injection technique and too much volume, your filler migrates to create that god awful duck lip. You know what we’re talking about…that bad side profile “shelf” look we all cringe at. Don’t worry, Dot Calm is here to tell you that it’s fixable! We can do a quick injection that will dissolve all the migrating filler and then we can start over and create the proper lip and look you want.
Fillers are not permanent. They usually last 9-18 months, depending on the filler and where you are getting injected. The speed at which your body metabolizes the filler material will also affect how long your filler will last.
Our answer to this is…ARE YOU ANGELINA JOLIE? While we may love a shape of lip on someone else, we must be mindful of whether our face shape can support a lip like hers. While we try to accommodate people’s tastes, we fill according to what’s appropriate for you. For people who want the “influencer or housewives” look, we probably are not the place for you. Remember, even Brad Pitt is over the Angelina look.
We keep the discomfort to a minimum by making sure we numb you first. Our highly trained RN is gentle so the tears are only tears of joy not pain. The only thing that will hurt about this procedure is if you price shop and go to a discount injector. In this case, you will wake up in a world of hurt when you look at your face.
The typical filler treatment takes 45-60 minutes.
Good news! Absolutely they can be. With a quick dissolving injection, we can start with a fresh canvas or clean up the work that’s already there. Dissolving takes up to 15 days to do its job, so there’s no need to worry about it sticking around for 1-2 years.
If looking amazing afterwards is a risk, we hope you are ready for it! In all seriousness, dermal fillers are generally considered safe. Some people experience some redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness, but that subsides quickly. Rare complications can include allergic reactions, infection, lumps, or migration of the filler.
