FILLER FAQ

How do Filler Injections work?

Dermal filler treatment involves natural gel-like Hyaluronic acid being injected into target areas of the face with a cannula or needle. The filler plumps the skin from the inside out and works in place of lost fat and protein to smooth fine lines and wrinkles, and add volume to hollow areas like cheeks and under eyes. 

What brand of Filler Injectables do we use? 

  • VOLUMA
  • BELOTERO 
  • RESTYLANE
  • KYBELLA
  • SCULPTRA
  • JUVEDERM

What can you expect with Filler Injections?

You will be required to come in at least 30 minutes before your scheduled treatment for local anesthesia ointment to be applied to the area being treated. Your medical professional may capture photographs of the soon-to-be treated area(s).

Once the treatment has started, your Registered Nurse will inject, massage, and evaluate the area being treated. If needed, an additional filler may be used to make sure you are happy with the results and that they meet your expectations. 

After the treatment, your Registered Nurse will show you the results and ask if you are satisfied. If you are satisfied with the results, we will give you an ice pack to reduce the swelling and relieve any discomfort.  

What are the Filler Injection pre-care instructions?

  • Avoid blood-thinner medications like aspirin, ibuprofen, Advil and Aleve for one week before treatment
  • Avoid supplements like garlic, ginseng, and Vitamin E for one week before treatment
  • Avoid topical retinol products and glycolic acid products for two days prior
  • Do not wax, bleach, tweeze or use any other hair removal method to the treatment area for two days prior

What areas can be treated with Filler Injections?

  • Lips
  • Under-eyes
  • Cheeks
  • Chin

What is Kybella?

Once Kybella is injected, the acid destroys fat cells beneath the chin area so they can’t store fat anymore. These cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, so further treatment is not expected once you reach your desired aesthetic goal.

  • Improve side profile
  • Destroy fat cells permanently
  • Slimmer appearance
