How it works
- Our first step is to apply a prescription topical numbing cream for 20-30 minutes to make you comfortable during the treatment.
- Our advanced practice providers will remove the numbing cream, clean and prep the area + begin the treatment, which can take 15-30 minutes.
- After treatment, you will be given a custom take-home comfort care package to help with any swelling + bruising you may have.
- Results are instant and will continue to improve over the next two weeks.

FAQs
Does it hurt?
We apply a prescription topical numbing cream to maximize comfort during the procedure.
Are there any side effects?
You may experience slight bruising, minimal swelling, and some soreness in the treated areas. Filler can be felt while settling into the tissue for 1-2 weeks.
Is there any downtime?
There is no immediate downtime with filler! You can have slight swelling or bruising depending on the area being treated, and this can be reduced with medication recommended by your provider. In office, we can apply mineral based makeup after treatment so you can still make that lunch appointment, finish your work day, or have that date night you’d been looking forward to!
When will I see the results?
Filler results are instant, and you can expect optimal results within 2 weeks.
How long will the results last?
Typically, lip filler will last 10+ months. A maintenance appointment should be scheduled within 6-12 months to assess when the next treatment is needed.
Will I look different?
Our providers treat conservatively! You will still look like yourself, but with the lips you have always dreamed of! Lips tend to have more initial swelling than other areas. Within 48hrs the majority of swelling should have subsided. Give your lips a full 2 weeks for optimal results.
Is filler pregnancy safe?
No, you cannot get Filler when pregnant or breastfeeding.
