Product types we use

We primarily use hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers because they are versatile and can be reversed if needed. Depending on your needs, we may consider bio‑stimulating fillers for structural support. Product choice is based on safety profile, longevity, and how the gel behaves in a specific facial plane.

• Soft, flexible gels for fine lines and lips
• Medium‑firm gels for cheeks and lower face
• Firm, supportive gels for contouring and profile work

Who may benefit

People often seek fillers for one or more of the following:

• Volume loss due to aging or weight changes
• Asymmetry or contour irregularities
• Softening etched lines or shadows
• Balancing facial proportions from the front and side views

Not everyone is a candidate. We will discuss medical history, medications, and recent procedures to ensure timing and choice of product are appropriate.

What to expect

1. Consultation & mapping: We review your goals, examine from multiple angles, and map potential injection points.
2. Consent & planning: We discuss benefits, limitations, and possible side effects so you can make a confident decision.
3. Treatment: After cleansing the skin, we use fine needles or cannulas. Most HA fillers contain lidocaine for comfort.
4. Immediate check: We assess symmetry and shape while you are still in the chair to avoid overfilling.
5. Aftercare: You receive written directions and follow‑up timing. Minor swelling or bruising can occur and usually settles within days.

Safety first

Safety guides every step. We select products with strong track records, use sterile technique, and maintain emergency protocols, including access to hyaluronidase for HA fillers. We do not rush or stack unnecessary syringes in one session. Your anatomy and medical background determine pacing.

Possible effects include swelling, redness, tenderness, temporary lumps, and bruising. Rare but serious risks such as vascular compromise are reviewed in detail before treatment, along with steps taken to reduce them.

Pricing approach

Pricing is based on the product used and the number of syringes required. During your consultation we provide an estimate before any treatment starts. We avoid surprise charges and advise against purchasing more than you reasonably need at one time.

Package options may be available for multi‑area plans. Ask during your visit for current details.

FAQ

How many syringes will I need?

This depends on your starting point and goals. Cheeks often require one to two syringes per side for structural support, while lips may need less. We plan gradually to keep results subtle and in proportion.

Will it look obvious?

Our approach favors proportion over volume. We build structure where needed and stop when balance is reached. Friends may notice you look rested without being able to pinpoint why.

What if I change my mind?

Most HA fillers can be adjusted or dissolved using hyaluronidase. We discuss this option in advance so you feel comfortable proceeding.

Is there downtime?

Expect some swelling or bruising for a few days. Many patients return to routine activities the same day. Plan important events with a buffer of at least one to two weeks.

Can fillers and neuromodulators be combined?

Yes, when suitable. Neuromodulators soften muscle‑driven lines, while fillers address volume and contour. We can stage treatments for comfort and predictability.
