Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Fillers (Dermal Fillers).

Duration varies by product and area treated, typically six to eighteen months. Cheek and lip fillers often last longer; metabolic rate and lifestyle affect longevity. We recommend follow-up evaluations and maintenance treatments to preserve optimal, natural-looking results.

Most clients report only brief discomfort. We use topical numbing and many fillers contain lidocaine to minimize pain. Sensations are short-lived and manageable, and practitioners use gentle techniques to maximize comfort throughout the quick in-office procedure.

Common side effects include temporary swelling, bruising, redness, and tenderness at injection sites. These usually resolve within days to two weeks. Rare complications can occur; choosing a qualified provider and discussing medical history reduces risks and ensures safe, effective treatment.

Most patients notice immediate improvement in volume and contour. Mild swelling and bruising can temporarily change appearance; final results typically settle within one to two weeks. We offer follow-up appointments to assess outcomes and recommend any necessary touch-ups.

Ideal candidates are healthy adults seeking to restore volume or soften lines with realistic expectations. Candidates should not be pregnant or breastfeeding and must disclose medical history and medications. A consultation determines suitability and creates a customized treatment plan for safe, pleasing results.

Downtime is minimal; many clients resume daily activities immediately. To reduce swelling and bruising avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sun, and alcohol for 24–48 hours. Minor bruises can persist up to two weeks; simple aftercare and follow-up ensure smooth recovery.
