Dermal fillers produce instantaneous results for concerns such as hollow under eyes, jowling, laugh lines, lip enhancement, and more. Some discomfort can be expected, however we offer a comfort menu to aid minimizing pain and helping you to be as comfortable as possible. Depending on the type of dermal filler utilized, results will last anywhere between 6-24 months and sometimes much longer. It is possible that you may experience mild bruising and swelling post treatment, which will gradually resolve.
what can I expect with dermal fillers?
Botox/dysport are FDA approved injections to help reduce fine lines and wrinkles. There is little to no discomfort from the injections. It takes 3-7 days for results to become noticeable and maximum results will be noted at by 14 days. Everyone is different and may desire different treatment areas, so a complimentary consult will help to determine how many units you need. Typically, you can resume your normal routine immediately after the appointment. The treatment lasts anywhere from 3-6 months depending on the treatment you receive.

Peeling skin can vary after receiving a chemical peel, as the peels are tailored to your desired results and downtime. There are differing depths of peels such as superficial, medium and deep. Peels penetrate into the skin and dissolve desmosomes, oils, and soften keratinocytes. Chemical peels help with concerns such as sun damaged skin, oily skin leading to acne, acne scarring, fine lines, wrinkles and more.

can i combine treatments?
04
There are many treatments that can be combined, however some should be avoided. For example, injectables should not be done the same day as microneedling, chemical peels should not be performed before or after laser facial treatments, and one should not receive wrinkle relaxers and then have a massage. We can help guide you as to what treatments may and may not be combined.
