During your initial visit, we'll review medical history, discuss goals, perform facial assessment, and create a tailored filler plan. Treatment includes topical numbing and precise injections. Aftercare instructions and follow-up are provided to ensure comfort and optimal results.

Duration varies by filler type, treatment area, and metabolism. Most patients enjoy results for six to eighteen months. We'll recommend product options and maintenance plans during your appointment to maximize longevity and natural-looking outcomes.

Discomfort is minimal for most clients. We use topical numbing and gentle injection techniques to reduce pain and swelling. Mild bruising or soreness can occur but typically resolves within days; we provide aftercare guidance for faster recovery.

Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness. Rare complications like infection or vascular issues are uncommon but possible. Our providers discuss risks, contraindications, and safety measures during your consultation to ensure informed consent.

Avoid blood-thinning medications, supplements like aspirin or fish oil, and alcohol for several days before treatment if medically appropriate. Arrive with clean skin, and bring a list of medications. We'll review any concerns and provide specific pre-appointment instructions.

Most clients resume light daily activities immediately, but avoid strenuous exercise, sauna, and heavy facial massage for 24-48 hours. Makeup can usually be applied after a few hours unless advised otherwise. Follow provided aftercare for optimal healing and results.
