-
What are fillers, and how do they work?Fillers are cosmetic injectables that are used to smooth out wrinkles, restore volume, and enhance facial contours. They are typically made of hyaluronic acid, a substance that is naturally found in the body and helps to hydrate and plump the skin. When injected into the skin, fillers work by adding volume to the targeted area, which can help to fill in wrinkles and lines, smooth out skin texture, and enhance facial features. They can also stimulate collagen production in the skin, which can help to improve skin elasticity and firmness over time.
-
How soon can I see the results of a filler treatment?In general, you may begin to see some immediate improvement in the treated area, such as increased volume or reduction in wrinkles or fine lines. However, it can take a few days for any swelling or bruising to subside and for the filler to settle into its final position.

Can I combine fillers with other cosmetic treatments?Yes, it is often possible to combine fillers with other cosmetic treatments to achieve more comprehensive results. Some examples of other cosmetic treatments that may be combined with fillers include Botox, chemical peels, laser treatments, and thread lifts.
-
What is a neuromodulator, and how does it work?Neuromodulator injections work by relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles. Botox/Dysport blocks the release of a chemical that triggers muscle contractions, temporarily paralyzing the affected muscles and reducing the appearance of wrinkles. The effects last for several months and can be used for medical conditions as well as cosmetic purposes.

Lip lines: wrinkles that form around the lips, also called smoker's lines. Chin dimpling: wrinkles that form on the chin. Jawline: to contour the jawline and reduce the appearance of a square jaw.

Is the procedure painful?Most people report feeling only a slight pinprick sensation during the injection. The needles used for Botox/Dysport injections are very fine and thin, so any discomfort is usually minimal and brief.

Some of the most commonly reported side effects include: Temporary bruising, swelling, or redness at the injection site. Headache or flu-like symptoms. Drooping or asymmetry of the eyelid or eyebrow. Dry eyes or excessive tearing. Numbness or tingling in the treated area.
-
Can I still make facial expressions after getting a neuromodulator treatment?Neuromodulators work by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles and lines, but they do not completely paralyze the muscles or prevent all facial movements. You will still be able to make natural facial expressions but with less movement in the treated area.
