FAQ

Cosmetic Injectables: FAQs

What’s the difference between BOTOX®/Jeuveau™ and fillers?
Neuromodulators (like BOTOX® Cosmetic or Jeuveau™) relax specific muscles to soften expression lines. Dermal fillers add volume and support to smooth folds, restore contours, or enhance features like cheeks and lips.
How long do results last?
Neuromodulator results often last about 3–4 months for many patients. Filler longevity varies by product, area treated, and individual metabolism. We’ll outline a realistic timeline at your visit.
Will I look “overdone”?
Our approach is conservative and anatomy-guided. We focus on balance, natural movement, and subtle enhancement. Many patients prefer starting with less and building gradually.
Is there downtime?
Many patients return to normal activities the same day. Mild swelling or bruising can occur. If you have an event, schedule ahead so everything settles naturally.
What areas can be treated?
Common areas include forehead, frown lines, crow’s feet, cheeks, lips, and folds around the mouth. Treatment areas depend on your anatomy and the product selected.
How do I know what I need?
Book a consultation. We’ll review your goals, facial structure, and preferences, then recommend a plan (neuromodulator, filler, or a combination).
