Don’t worry if you’re unsure of which injectable or filler is right for you, that’s exactly what our free no-pressure consultations are for! During the consult, we discuss the pros and cons of each one and help make a custom treatment plan for you that caters to your own specific goals. This attention to detail ensures a more natural-looking outcome. During the consultation, we also consider all of the following: 

The issues you’d like to correct

What type of wrinkles you have 

The area of your face or hands you’d like to treat

How long you want results to last

Your health history 

Pain tolerance varies from person to person, but most of our clients find that the treatment is more comfortable than expected! All lip clients are numbed using a topical cream that works before the injection, plus our products also contain lidocaine in them so you will begin to feel numb from that too. Our injector also uses a vibrating tool to distract from the injections.

Because each dermal filler is different, your results can last anywhere between six months and two years based on the product, the area of the face injected, and the amount of product injected during your treatment.

Like any injection, fillers can result in some slight bruising so it’s best to stop taking blood thinners like aspirin or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (ibuprofen, naproxen, etc.) for a week prior to treatment. Additionally, avoid fish oil supplements, vitamin E, and herbal supplements for a few days prior to the procedure, unless medically necessary. (Be sure to mention this to your injector during your consultation). Please do not stop any blood thinning medications if they have been prescribed by your physician.

We ask that you please plan your treatments with enough time ahead of special events (NOT the day before your wedding) because bruising, redness, swelling or tenderness in the treated area are all normal/expected side effects of injections and will generally take a few days to disappear. Regarding immediate after-care, be sure to apply a cool compress to the treatment area (do not apply ice directly to skin) for approximately 5-10 minutes every half an hour on the day of treatment. Avoid any pressure or heat inducing activities for 24 hours such as strenuous exercise, spas, saunas and hot showers.
