Enhance Your Natural Features
Every person is born beautiful. However, as we get older, we may find there are some features we would like to correct or adjust based on our own personal aesthetic.
One of the most versatile tools we have at our disposal at CaTara Medical Spa is called Dermal Fillers. Each brand and type of filler can contain a different active ingredient to be able to provide a variety of results. Whether your goal is contouring, anti-aging, added volume, or simply wanting more of a refreshed look, we can design a treatment plan to meet your unique needs and help you feel your most confident.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do fillers cost in Algonquin?
The cost of filler in Algonquin depends on the brand, placement, and amount of filler you need to achieve your goals. Filler is typically priced per syringe.
Which brand of filler should I get?
It can be confusing to know which brand of filler is best for your needs, as each one works a little bit differently from the others. Luckily, you don't have to be an expert in filler brands! Our team will make recommendations based on your individual needs, aesthetic goals, and even budget to ensure you are matched with the right brand of filler.
How much filler do I need?
Every person may need a different amount of filler depending on the placement and their short-term and long-term aesthetic goals. During your consultation we will help you determine the number of syringes of filler that you need to accomplish those goals!
What's the difference between Botox and filler?
One of the most common questions we receive at CaTara is the difference between Botox and filler. Botox is a brand of "neuromodulator," which relaxes the underlying muscles that cause wrinkles to form. Conversely, filler helps lift and "fill" areas that have lost volume or show wrinkles. Most of the time, it is a combination of both of these that truly produce the most radiant results.
