About Injectables
Our Process
Your treatment starts with a conversation.
Before any filler is placed, we'll take time to understand what you'd like to improve and what kind of result you're hoping for. Your facial structure, skin quality, existing volume, and overall goals will all be considered when creating your treatment plan.
-
We'll begin with a facial assessment and conversation about your goals. Together, we'll determine which areas may benefit from treatment and which filler products are appropriate for those areas.
Your recommended treatment plan, including estimated product volume and cost, will be discussed before treatment begins.
Photos may also be taken to help track your results over time.
-
Before treatment, your skin will be cleansed and the treatment areas prepared. A topical numbing agent may be used to help keep you comfortable during the procedure.
Many modern fillers also contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic, to provide additional comfort during treatment.
-
Filler is carefully placed using a needle or cannula, depending on the area being treated and the treatment plan.
Treatment time varies depending on the number of areas being addressed, but most appointments take approximately 30–60 minutes.
Some results can be seen immediately, although swelling can temporarily affect the final appearance.
-
Some swelling, tenderness, or bruising is normal following filler treatment. These effects generally improve over the first several days.
You'll receive specific aftercare instructions based on your treatment. Final results become easier to evaluate once swelling has resolved, typically within 1–2 weeks.
Results vary depending on the product used, treatment area, and individual factors, but filler may last approximately 9–18 months.
Injectables Before and After Care
A little preparation goes a long way.
To help your appointment go smoothly:
Arrive with clean skin and little or no makeup in the treatment area.
Stay well hydrated in the days leading up to your appointment.
Let us know about any medications, supplements, allergies, or relevant medical conditions.
Discuss any medications or supplements that may increase bruising with your provider before making changes to them.
Follow any additional instructions provided specifically for your treatment.
After: What can you expect?
Mild swelling, tenderness, and bruising can occur after filler and are generally temporary.
For the first 24–48 hours, you may be advised to:
Avoid strenuous exercise.
Avoid excessive heat.
Avoid alcohol.
Avoid pressure or massage to the treated area unless specifically instructed otherwise.
Sleep with your head slightly elevated the first night to help minimize swelling.
