Injectables

Cosmetic injectables are used as an anti-wrinkle treatment by targeting the underlying causes of facial lines and wrinkles rather than simply masking them. Neuromodulators are injected into specific facial muscles to temporarily reduce their activity, softening dynamic wrinkles such as forehead lines, frown lines between the brows, and crow’s feet around the eyes. Dermal fillers work differently — they are injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, smooth static wrinkles, and redefine facial contours that naturally diminish with age. At Aura Dermatologie, Dr. Bougrine begins with a thorough consultation to assess your facial anatomy and understand your goals before developing a personalized treatment plan. Results vary by individual, treatment type, and area treated, and realistic expectations will always be discussed openly during your consultation.

Yes! Injectable dermal fillers can be used for lip augmentation. Whether you want to enhance your lips or restore lost volume, we provide natural lip augmentation using hyaluronic acid dermal fillers and sometimes neuromodulators (known as a « lip flip »). This method involves injecting the dermal filler into specific areas of the lips to create a fuller and more defined appearance. The procedure is quick, and the results can last for several months. 

Lip augmentation with injectable fillers has become increasingly popular in recent years. It offers a non-surgical option for enhancing the shape and fullness of the lips.

As with any aesthetic treatment, it’s important to be well informed before taking the plunge. The results of cosmetic injectables are temporary and cannot provide the same lifting and tightening effects of surgical procedures. Dermal fillers are generally well tolerated, especially when administered by a qualified professional like Dr. Bougrine. That said, some side effects can occur, including:

• Swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection site — typically temporary and resolving within a few days.
• Allergic reactions or hypersensitivity to the filler material, though these are rare with hyaluronic acid-based products.
• Infection at the injection site, minimized thanks to our clinic’s rigorous protocols.
• The formation of small nodules or irregularities under the skin, which may require a follow-up appointment.
• Temporary or, in rare cases, permanent skin discoloration.
• In rare cases, more serious complications can occur — which is exactly why choosing a certified practitioner is so important.

That’s why we encourage you to openly discuss your medical history and expectations during your consultation with our team. A personalized and transparent approach is always at the heart of what we do at Aura Dermatologie!
