FAQs
What's the difference between fillers and botox?
While both treatments address signs of aging, dermal filler adds volume and "fills" wrinkles, while Botox and other wrinkle relaxers temporarily relax facial muscles to reduce the appearance of lines.
What's the downtime? Can I go back to work?
One of the things that makes dermal fillers so great is there's little downtime. There's no reason you can't go back to work afterwards, although keep in mind that you may experience some redness, swelling or bruising.
Will it hurt?
We use a topical anesthetic before making injections to help minimize any discomfort during the treatment. We also use an icepak before and after. You can also take Tylenol before and after to help reduce any pain. You may experience bruising and swelling, which can take 1-2 weeks to go away. Therefore, we don't recommend scheduling your appointment right before a big event.
What Should I Avoid After Treatment?
After your treatment: No exercise/working out for 24 hours; no facials for 2 weeks. Try not to touch the area excessively for the first 24 hours, except to apply arnica gel. And you may want to avoid salty foods and alcoholic beverages as they can contribute to swelling.
When Will I See Results?
You'll start to see results almost immediately, and can expect to see full results in about 2 weeks.
