How long do wrinkle relaxer results last?

Jeuveau® and Xeomin® take 3–5 days to begin working, with full results visible around day 10–14.

Question 4

How long do dermal fillers last?

Accepted Answer

Lip filler typically lasts 6–12 months. Cheek augmentation and jawline contouring can last 12–18 months or longer.

Question 5

Will dermal fillers make me look overdone or unnatural?

Accepted Answer

No. Our philosophy is built around natural, subtle results that enhance your features. We take a conservative approach and build from there.

Question 6

Is there downtime after dermal filler treatment?

Accepted Answer

Most clients return to normal activities the same day. Some swelling and bruising is common and typically resolves within 3–7 days.

Question 7

How should I prepare for my neuromodulator or filler appointment?

Accepted Answer

Arrive with a clean, makeup-free face. Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before your appointment and skip blood-thinning medications like aspirin, ibuprofen, and fish oil for 5–7 days beforehand if your doctor allows. Stay hydrated and eat a light meal before you come in.

Question 8

Should I avoid anything in the days before my filler appointment?

Accepted Answer

Avoid alcohol for 24–48 hours before your appointment. Skip NSAIDs and supplements like vitamin E, fish oil, and ginkgo biloba for about a week prior to reduce bruising. Schedule filler at least 2 weeks before any big event.

Question 9

Can I wear makeup to my appointment?

Accepted Answer

Please arrive with a clean, makeup-free face in the areas being treated. Foundation and heavy skincare products can introduce bacteria to injection sites. We can cleanse the area before we start if needed.

Question 10

What should I do (and avoid) after my treatment?

Accepted Answer

After wrinkle relaxers: avoid lying down for 4 hours and skip strenuous exercise for 24 hours. After fillers: avoid intense heat, heavy exercise, and alcohol for 24–48 hours. No facials or facial massages for at least two weeks post-filler.

Question 11

When can I wear makeup after my injections?

Accepted Answer

After wrinkle relaxers, you can apply makeup gently after a few hours. After filler, wait at least 24 hours before applying makeup to reduce infection risk while injection sites heal.

Question 12

Is it normal to have bruising or swelling after treatment?

Accepted Answer

Yes — bruising and swelling are completely normal, especially with lip filler. Most swelling resolves within a week; bruising can take 10–14 days to fade. Arnica gel, cold compresses, and staying hydrated all help.
