Injectable & Fillers Treatments FAQ’s
What is the difference between fillers and Dysport?
Fillers are injectable treatments that restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial features, while Dysport is a neurotoxin that relaxes muscles to reduce dynamic wrinkles, like frown lines and crow’s feet.
How long do fillers last?
Most hyaluronic acid-based fillers like Restylane® last between 6 to 12 months, depending on the area treated. Some longer-lasting fillers can last up to 2 years.
When will I see results from Dysport?
Dysport results typically appear within 2-3 days, with full results visible in about a week. The effects can last up to 5 months, depending on individual factors.
Do fillers and Dysport injections hurt?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort, as many fillers contain lidocaine for a numbing effect. Dysport injections feel like a small pinch, and the procedure is quick.
Can Dysport and fillers be used together?
Yes! Many people combine Dysport and dermal fillers to achieve a comprehensive anti-aging treatment, addressing both wrinkles and volume loss for a refreshed, natural look.
What areas can be treated with fillers?
Fillers can enhance the cheeks, lips, under-eye hollows, nasolabial folds (smile lines), marionette lines, and jawline, restoring youthful volume and definition.
Is there downtime after Dysport or fillers?
There is little to no downtime for both Dysport and fillers. You may experience slight redness, swelling, or bruising, which typically resolves within a few days.
How do I maintain my results?
For fillers, touch-up treatments every 6-12 months help maintain volume and smoothness. Dysport requires re-treatment every 3-5 months to keep wrinkles softened.
Skin Treatments FAQ’s
What are the benefits of medical-grade chemical peels?
Medical-grade chemical peels help improve skin tone and texture by reducing fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, and hyperpigmentation. They promote skin cell turnover, revealing brighter, smoother, and more youthful skin.
How do SkinMedica® peels work?
What is the difference between the Illuminize Peel and the Vitalize Peel?
The Illuminize Peel is a mild peel designed for first-time users or those with minor skin imperfections who want a brighter complexion with no downtime. The Vitalize Peel is stronger and targets moderate sun damage, fine lines, and acne scars, offering more dramatic results.
What makes VI Peel different from other chemical peels?
The VI Peel is a gentle yet powerful chemical peel that addresses multiple skin concerns, including acne, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and melasma. It is suitable for all skin types, has minimal downtime, and reveals noticeable results within a week.
How long does it take to see results from a chemical peel?
Results can appear within a few days after peeling begins, but full results are typically visible in one to two weeks. Deeper peels provide longer-lasting results but may require multiple treatments.
Will my skin peel after treatment?
Yes, depending on the strength of the peel, your skin may experience light flaking to more significant peeling over several days as dead skin sheds and new, healthier skin emerges.
How often should I get a chemical peel?
For optimal results, most patients receive a series of treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance peels every few months to keep their skin looking radiant.
Is there any downtime after a chemical peel?
Most peels require little to no downtime, but some redness, flaking, or mild sensitivity may occur. It’s essential to avoid sun exposure and follow post-care instructions to protect your results.
