As there are small needles involved in administering dermal filler treatments, there is some discomfort, however

Some people believe that prevention is better than cure so some will start having treatments as soon as they start seeing their first wrinkle, others start when they see and feel a change in the skin’s elasticity and contour.
Wrinkle relaxing typically lasts around 3 months which is when the product starts to wear off and the body naturally starts to re engage the receptors that have been temporarily relaxed by the toxin.
Dermal fillers typically last 6 to 12 months however, I use high quality FDA approved hyaloronic based filler which have increased longevity, often 12 to 18 months.
Dermaplaning and waxing are often treatments clients return for after around 6 weeks depending upon hair growth rate.
Side effects will be discussed during your consultation dependent upon chosen treatment.
More general side effects of dermal fillers are redness, bruising, swelling, and sometimes reoccurrence of cold sores .
