Lip fillers in Vancouver are one of the most requested injectable treatments at First Ave Medical Spa in Kitsilano. Whether you want subtle hydration, more definition, or added volume — a well-placed lip filler treatment can make a significant difference while keeping your results looking completely natural.
Lip fillers are hyaluronic acid-based injectable treatments that add volume, shape, and definition to the lips. Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally found in the body — making it safe, well-tolerated, and reversible.
At First Ave Medical Spa we use Revanesse dermal fillers — a premium Canadian-made product by Prollenium Medical Technologies in Aurora, Ontario. Revanesse is Health Canada–approved and specifically formulated for natural-looking, smooth results.
Lip fillers in Vancouver address a wide range of concerns:
Your provider at First Ave Medical Spa will assess your lip anatomy and facial proportions during consultation before recommending the right amount and placement of filler for your goals.
Many Vancouver clients feel nervous before their first lip filler appointment. Here is exactly what happens:
Most clients find lip fillers last 6 to 12 months depending on:
Lips are a high-movement area — they tend to metabolise filler faster than areas like the cheeks. Most Vancouver clients book a top-up every 6 to 9 months to maintain their results.

Side effects are generally mild and temporary — including swelling, bruising, and tenderness at the injection site. Serious complications are rare when treatment is performed by an experienced, physician-directed provider.
Lip filler pricing in Vancouver varies based on the amount of product used and the complexity of treatment. Most first-time clients start with 0.5 to 1 mL of filler.
