-
Results vary depending on the treatment area, the product used, and individual metabolism. Many patients enjoy results for 6 to 18 months before maintenance treatment is recommended.
-
Yes. You will notice an improvement immediately after treatment. Mild swelling is common, so your final results are usually seen after the filler has settled over the following days to two weeks.
-
Most patients find treatment very tolerable. Many fillers contain a local anesthetic (lidocaine), and additional numbing options may be used when appropriate. You may feel slight pressure or a brief pinch during treatment.
-
Most appointments take 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated. This includes time for your consultation, assessment, and treatment.
-
There is little to no downtime. Most patients return to work or normal daily activities immediately after treatment. Mild swelling, redness, tenderness, or bruising may occur and generally resolves within a few days.
-
Your injector will provide personalized aftercare instructions. In many cases, it’s recommended to avoid applying makeup to the treated area for the rest of the day to reduce the risk of irritation or infection.
-
It’s generally recommended to avoid vigorous exercise for the first 24 hours, as increased blood flow may contribute to swelling or bruising.
-
When performed by qualified medical professionals using approved products, hyaluronic acid dermal fillers have an established safety profile. As with any medical procedure, there are potential risks, which will be reviewed during your consultation before treatment.
-
Dermal fillers may not be suitable if you:
Are pregnant or breastfeeding
Have an active skin infection in the treatment area
Have certain medical conditions or allergies
Have recently received another cosmetic treatment that may affect timing
A consultation is the best way to determine whether treatment is appropriate for you.
-
Many hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase if medically indicated or if a patient wishes to reverse the treatment.
-
Our philosophy at Thornbury Leg Vein Clinic is to achieve natural-looking, balanced results. We focus on enhancing your features rather than dramatically changing your appearance.
-
Although both are injectable treatments, they work differently.
Neuromodulators relax targeted muscles that cause expression lines, such as forehead lines and crow’s feet.
Dermal fillers restore volume, enhance facial contours, and soften deeper folds caused by volume loss.
Many patients choose to combine both treatments for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
-
Yes. Depending on your goals, dermal fillers may be combined with treatments such as neuromodulators, IPL, OPUS Plasma skin resurfacing, and medical-grade skincare as part of a personalized treatment plan.
-
There is no specific age to begin treatment. Some people seek fillers to enhance facial features, while others use them to restore volume that naturally decreases with age. Treatment recommendations are based on your anatomy, concerns, and goals—not your age.
-
Your fillers will gradually break down over time. If you decide not to continue treatment, your face will simply return to its natural appearance over time. It will not become “worse” because you stopped treatment.
-
The cost of treatment depends on the areas being treated, the amount of filler required, and your personalized treatment plan. Following your consultation, we’ll provide a detailed treatment recommendation and pricing.
