FAQ DERMAL FILLERS 

  • Dermal fillers are made of hyaluronic acid, a injectable substance that create lift, add volume, and restore a more youthful appearance to certain areas of the face that show signs of aging.

    Neurotoxin injections are great for reducing the appearance of fine lines as well as, to treat medical conditions such as TMJ and hyperhidrosis.

  • Fillers are made out of ingredients found in your body such as, hyaluronic acid, a water-binding molecule.

    Fillers are non-permanent, only lasting for a few months to two years depending on your body.

    Dermal fillers are injected underneath the top layer of your skin to add fullness and volume. Fillers can also help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles!

  • The most popular fillers are composed of a flexible gel called hyaluronic acid that isn't derived from animals. Our epidermis contains hyaluronic acid, a sugar molecule that naturally exists in the human body. It aids in hydrating and giving the face more volume. Our own bodies automatically break it down.

  • The effects are long lasting but not permanent. They last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years, depending on a number of factors including the patient’s age, area treated, type of filler used, quantity of filler used, and lifestyle.

  • The choice of filler depends on the individual patient, their treatment goals, and personal facial anatomy. I recommend booking a consultation to discuss these things with your nurse provider.

  • Most patients experience only mild discomfort. A local anesthetic cream can be applied to the skin prior to the treatment for a more comfortable experience. Many of our fillers are also formulated with lidocaine to help minimize discomfort.

  • No! You can go right back to your normal routine. However, I always advise my patients that they may have some bruising or swelling, so it is best not to schedule a filler appointment right before any important event.

  • Dermal fillers are generally thought to be very safe. Redness, swelling, bruising, and tenderness are the most typical responses. For the majority of patients, these are usually minor and go away on their own in 1 to 7 days. There are very few other adverse effects.

  • It is possible to achieve a natural, youthful appearance by using fillers in the right places and in the right amounts. Fillers are not intended to produce entirely new elements. The result simply enhances one's own facial features when performed by a skilled professional with extensive knowledge of facial anatomy.

FAQ BOTOX/DYSPORT

  • A targeted treatment region is injected with Botox, a neuromodulator (form of botulinum toxin type A), using an ultra-fine needle. It functions by obstructing the nerve impulses required for the contraction of facial muscles. Expression lines and wrinkles are brought on by the repetitive contraction of facial muscles. After injection, the neuromodulator causes the muscles to relax and move less, which lessens the appearance of wrinkles or lines in the region. After the injection, your outcomes will become apparent over the course of 3 to 7 days.

  • Botox can be used to treat lines and wrinkles in a variety of facial areas, including the forehead, eye area (crow's feet), and lip lines. It could be injected to reduce dimpling along the jawline. Additionally, Botox can be injected into the jaw muscles for a slimming effect on the jaw or to assist with TMJ or teeth grinding pain.

  • The procedure is not considered painful. Most patients report a brief period of discomfort during the injection, which does not persist once the procedure is complete.

  • Botox treatments are quick with minimal discomfort. The treatment requires no anesthesia or recovery time. Many people get Botox during their lunch hours and are able to return to work right after their appointment.

  • Due to their age or youth, some people might be unsure if they are a good candidate for Botox treatment. There is no right or incorrect age to use Botox; it can be used at any age. Patients should be examined and given advice by a medical professional prior to getting treatment. In their twenties, many millennials start using Botox, either as a preventative measure or when they first notice lines and wrinkles.

  • After injection, the effects of Botox usually last three to four months. The treatment area's muscles gradually begin to function again as the body metabolises the Botox over time. By getting periodic maintenance treatments every three to four months, patients can choose to keep the effects of their Botox for extended periods of time.

  • While the experience of each patient may differ, it usually takes 3-5 days to see the effects of Botox. For some, it may take up to 2 weeks to realize the final effects.

  • Yes, Botox is an FDA approved treatment for reversing lines and wrinkles. However, patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain neurological diseases should not receive Botox treatments.

  • Side effects from a Botox treatment may include bruising, swelling, redness, or tenderness around the injection site, all of which will resolve without intervention after a few days to a week.
