Dermal Fillers in Montreal | Ultrasound-Guided Filler

Dermal fillers restore volume, support facial structure, and address the hollowing and contour changes that can develop with age.

At GhalMédica in Pointe-Claire, dermal filler treatments are performed for patients across the West Island and Montreal using real-time ultrasound guidance — a level of precision that allows each treatment to be tailored to your unique anatomy.

Ultrasound imaging allows Dr. Sonya Ghalehii, MD to visualize vascular structures before any product is placed, helping guide safer injection planning and more precise filler placement.

What to Expect

Treatment time varies by area. Mild swelling and tenderness are common for 48 to 72 hours. Final results are typically assessed at approximately two weeks.

48 Hours Before

Avoid over-the-counter anti-inflammatories such as aspirin and ibuprofen where medically appropriate. Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours before treatment to minimize bruising and swelling.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dermal Fillers

Why does GhalMédica use ultrasound for filler treatments?

Ultrasound allows Dr. Sonya Ghalehii, MD to see vascular structures beneath the skin in real time before placing product. Because every patient's anatomy is unique, this helps guide safer injection planning.

How long does filler last?

Duration varies depending on the product used, the area treated, the volume placed, and individual metabolism. Hyaluronic acid fillers commonly last between 6 and 18 months.

How much do dermal fillers cost in Montreal?

Dermal filler pricing in Montreal varies by clinic, product, area, and number of syringes required. At GhalMédica, pricing is discussed during consultation after assessment, because filler should be planned based on anatomy and goals rather than a fixed template.

What is the difference between Botox and fillers?

Botox and other neuromodulators relax targeted muscles to soften expression lines. Dermal fillers restore volume, support structure, or refine contour. They are different treatments and may be used separately or together when appropriate.

I have had filler done elsewhere. Can I still come to GhalMédica?

Yes. Ultrasound assessment allows Dr. Sonya to evaluate existing filler placement before recommending additional treatment. This is especially important when product history is unclear.

Is filler reversible?

Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved with hyaluronidase when medically appropriate. This is one reason hyaluronic acid filler is commonly used in responsible aesthetic practice.

GhalMédica is a physician-led aesthetic clinic located in Pointe-Claire, offering ultrasound-guided dermal filler treatments to patients across the West Island and Montreal with a focus on safety, precision, and natural-looking results.
