FAQ
How long do dermal fillers last?
Most dermal fillers last 6 to 18 months, depending on the area treated, the type of filler used, and your body’s natural metabolism. For example, lip fillers typically last 6–9 months, while cheek or jawline fillers may last up to 12–18 months. Regular touch-ups help maintain results and keep your facial balance refreshed over time.
Are dermal fillers safe?
Yes, when administered by a trained medical professional, dermal fillers are very safe. We use FDA-approved, hyaluronic acid-based fillers that are well-tolerated by the body and can even be dissolved if needed. As with any injectable, there may be temporary swelling or bruising, but serious side effects are rare when performed by experienced hands.
What’s the difference between dermal fillers and Botox?
Botox and dermal fillers serve different purposes:
- Botox relaxes facial muscles to prevent and soften wrinkles caused by expression (like frown lines or crow’s feet).
- Dermal fillers add volume to areas that have lost fullness over time, like the cheeks, lips, or under-eyes.
What are the side effects of dermal fillers?
Most dermal filler side effects are mild and temporary, such as:
- Swelling
- Bruising
- Redness or tenderness at the injection site
What are the types of dermal fillers?
We primarily use hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, which are safe, reversible, and designed to mimic your body’s natural moisture. Common brands include Juvederm and Restylane, and each formula is tailored for specific areas like:
- Cheeks (for lift and contour)
- Lips (for volume and shape)
- Under-eyes (for hollowness and tired appearance)
- Nasolabial folds & marionette lines (for softening deep creases)
