What should I expect during filler/injectible treatment?
The first step is a free, careful consultation to determine the areas of concern and to evaluate your skin. Some discomfort can be expected with filler injections, and depending on the site, our trained medical staff may use topical anesthesia or dental blocks (injectible anesthesia) to make the treatment more comfortable. The gel is injected into the targeted area using extremely fine needles. With hyaluronic fillers, mild to moderate redness and swelling can occur and last for few days. In the lips, swelling may last up to 7 days. You may experience some temporary bruising at the injection sites.
