The duration of dermal filler results varies depending on the type of filler used, the treated area, and individual metabolism. Generally, Revanesse HA fillers can last anywhere from 6 to 18 months. Areas with more movement, like the lips, may require touch-ups sooner than areas like the cheeks.

Discomfort is typically minimal. We apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment area before injections, and Revanesse fillers often contain lidocaine (a local anesthetic) for increased comfort during the procedure. Many clients describe the sensation as a slight pinch or pressure.

The number of syringes required is highly individualized and depends on the areas being treated, the extent of volume loss, and your desired outcome. During your complimentary consultation, your nurse injector will assess your needs and recommend a personalized treatment plan, including the estimated number of syringes. Our approach is conservative to ensure natural-looking results.

Ideal candidates are generally healthy adults looking to restore lost volume, smooth lines, enhance contours, or achieve better facial balance. A thorough consultation our nurse injector is essential to assess your medical history and determine if dermal fillers are suitable for your specific needs and goals.

Yes, one of the significant advantages of hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers like Revanesse is that they can be safely dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase if needed. This provides an added layer of safety and peace of mind.

Common, temporary side effects include mild swelling, redness, tenderness, and bruising at the injection sites. These typically resolve within a few days to a week. Rarer, more serious complications will be discussed thoroughly during your consultation.

Our nurse injectors philosophies consist of facial balancing and a conservative approach, combined with their expertise in natural-looking enhancements, the goal is always to achieve refreshed, harmonious results where you look like a more vibrant version of yourself, not "fake" or "overdone."

Immediately After Your Session

It’s common to experience some mild swelling, redness, and tenderness at the injection sites immediately following your treatment. Small pin-prick marks might also be visible.

Over the Next Few Days

Swelling is typically most noticeable in the first 24-48 hours, especially in areas like the lips, and will gradually subside. Any bruising should also begin to fade during this time. The filler will start to integrate more seamlessly with your natural tissues.

Dermal Filler Pre-Treatment Instructions & Guidelines

Proper preparation is essential for minimizing bruising, optimizing your comfort, and achieving the best possible results from your dermal filler treatment. Please follow these guidelines before your appointment.

Avoid Blood Thinners: For at least 7-10 days prior to your treatment, discontinue the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as Ibuprofen, Aspirin, Naproxen, and certain supplements like Vitamin E, Fish Oil, Ginko Biloba, and St. John's Wort. These can increase the risk of bruising and swelling. Always consult your prescribing physician before discontinuing any prescribed medication.

Avoid Alcohol & Caffeine: Refrain from consuming alcohol and excessive caffeine for at least 24-48 hours before your appointment, as they can also contribute to bruising and swelling.

Hydrate: Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your treatment. Being well-hydrated contributes to overall skin health and can aid in recovery.

Inform Us of Medications & Conditions: Provide our team with a complete list of all medications, supplements, and herbal remedies you are currently taking. It's crucial to disclose any history of cold sores, as an antiviral medication may be prescribed if you are getting lip filler.

Arrive with Clean Skin: Come to your appointment with a clean face, free of makeup. Your injector will cleanse the area thoroughly before treatment.

Reschedule if Unwell: If you develop a fever, rash, cold sore, or any infection in the treatment area prior to your appointment, please contact us immediately to reschedule.

Adhering to these preparatory steps significantly contributes to a safer procedure and a smoother recovery, setting the stage for beautiful, natural results.
