At Nuvel Skin & Laser, Dr. Cornel Barnard has access to high-resolution ultrasound as an additional tool for dermal filler assessment and treatment. In selected cases, ultrasound can be used to visualize facial anatomy and blood vessels beneath the skin, assess previously placed filler, and help with treatment planning and filler placement.
Ultrasound does not eliminate the risks associated with dermal filler treatment, but it provides additional anatomical information that can be useful when planning or managing certain treatments. Our approach remains based on careful facial assessment, detailed knowledge of anatomy, conservative treatment planning and appropriate management of complications should they occur.
A transparent, comfortable process from your initial consultation to your final results.
Before any treatment, we perform a detailed consultation to understand your goals, review your medical history, and assess your facial anatomy. This ensures every recommendation is safe, appropriate, and tailored to you.
Treatments are performed with advanced techniques and a deep understanding of facial anatomy. When appropriate, we use ultrasound imaging to visualize underlying structures in real time, allowing for enhanced precision and an added layer of safety. Product selection, placement, and volume are carefully controlled to achieve balanced, natural-looking results.
Your comfort is a priority throughout treatment. We use refined techniques and premium products designed for a smooth experience. After your appointment, you'll receive clear aftercare guidance to support optimal healing and results.

Book Your ConsultationEverything you need to know about dermal filler treatments.
Dermal filler treatments at Nuvel Skin & Laser in Vernon are performed by Dr. Cornel Barnard. Treatment begins with an assessment of facial anatomy, proportions, volume changes and your individual goals.
The focus is on balanced, natural-looking results rather than simply treating individual lines.
Dermal filler can be used in areas such as the cheeks, lips, chin, jawline and temples. It may also be used to restore facial volume and structural support that changes with age.
The appropriate areas and amount of filler depend on your individual anatomy, facial proportions and goals.
Dermal filler treatment starts with a whole-face assessment. We look at facial proportions, areas of volume loss, structural support, movement and how different areas of the face interact.
From there, Dr. Barnard works with you to develop a treatment plan based on the changes you would like to see while maintaining a natural result.
Our goal is for you to look refreshed and balanced while still looking like yourself. Dermal filler is used thoughtfully to restore proportion, structural support and facial balance rather than simply adding volume.
Our philosophy is that your best friend shouldn't be able to spot your filler. They may notice that you look refreshed, but not immediately know what you had done.
Natural-looking results come from understanding the face as a whole and determining where, how and how much to treat.
Facial balancing considers how different areas of the face relate to one another rather than treating one feature in isolation.
Carefully planned changes to areas such as the cheeks, chin, lips, temples or jawline can improve overall facial proportions while maintaining the features that make you look like yourself.
Facial balancing isn't necessarily about adding more filler. It is about using the right treatment, in the right location, and in the right amount.
Yes. Dermal filler is often described simply as a way of replacing lost facial volume, but its effects can be more sophisticated.
Strategically placed filler can restore structural support, improve facial proportions and influence how surrounding muscles move and interact with the face.
This is one reason we assess facial structure, volume and movement together rather than simply filling individual lines.
Dr. Barnard uses high-resolution ultrasound as an additional clinical tool in selected dermal filler treatments.
Ultrasound allows us to visualize facial anatomy and blood vessels beneath the skin, identify previously placed filler, and assist with treatment planning and the management of certain filler-related concerns.
Ultrasound does not eliminate the risks associated with dermal filler, but being able to visualize important anatomical structures can significantly reduce risk in selected treatments and provides another layer of information when planning or managing treatment.
Dermal filler is a medical procedure and, like any medical procedure, has potential risks.
Most side effects are temporary, such as swelling, tenderness or bruising. Serious complications are uncommon but can occur.
Careful patient selection, detailed knowledge of facial anatomy, appropriate injection technique, and the ability to recognize and manage complications are important parts of safe filler treatment.
The appropriate response depends on the type of filler and the complication.
Dr. Barnard assesses suspected complications medically and can use ultrasound when it provides useful additional information. Hyaluronic acid fillers can also be dissolved using hyaluronidase when clinically appropriate.
Recognizing and appropriately managing complications is an important part of providing dermal filler treatment.
Yes. Dermal filler can sometimes remain in the tissues considerably longer than patients expect.
In selected cases, ultrasound can help identify the location and characteristics of previously placed filler and provide additional information when deciding whether further treatment or dissolving is appropriate.
Longevity varies considerably depending on the product, treatment area, amount used and individual patient factors.
Many hyaluronic acid fillers last approximately 6 to 18 months, although some fillers and treatment areas can last considerably longer.
Rather than treating according to a predetermined schedule, we reassess the face and determine when further treatment is appropriate.
A change is usually visible immediately after treatment, although swelling can temporarily affect the appearance.
Much of the initial swelling settles earlier, but the result is typically best appreciated at approximately one month, once the filler and surrounding tissues have had time to settle.
Most patients can return to their usual activities shortly — typically the next day — after treatment, but temporary swelling, tenderness and bruising are common.
The amount of swelling varies depending on the individual and the area treated and can be more noticeable in areas such as the lips.
We recommend allowing sufficient time between filler treatment and an important event for swelling or bruising to resolve, usually 1 week.
Discomfort varies according to the treatment area and the individual.
Depending on the treatment, we may use topical anesthetic, local anesthetic or filler containing lidocaine to improve comfort. Most patients find treatment manageable, although temporary tenderness afterward is common.
Hyaluronic acid fillers can provide volume, contour and structural support.
Biostimulatory products such as Radiesse and HarmonyCa work differently by stimulating the body's own collagen production while also providing varying degrees of structural support.
They have different properties and may sometimes be used together as part of a broader facial rejuvenation plan.
Botox primarily modifies muscle activity, while dermal filler can restore volume, provide structural support and improve facial proportions.
Filler also does more than simply "fill." Strategically placed filler can influence how facial muscles move by changing their underlying support and mechanical interaction with surrounding tissues.
The two treatments therefore address different, but often interconnected, aspects of facial aging and can sometimes be used together.
There is no standard amount of filler that is right for everyone.
Treatment depends on your anatomy, facial proportions, degree of volume change and what you would like to achieve. Some concerns may require relatively small amounts of filler, while meaningful restoration of structural support across several areas may require more.
When appropriate, treatment can also be staged over several appointments.
