1. How long do dermal fillers last?
‍Results vary depending on the type of filler used, the treatment area, and your individual metabolism. On average, most fillers last 6 to 18 months. Biostimulators like Sculptra and Radiesse can last even longer since they work by building your own collagen. High-movement areas like the lips tend to break down filler faster, while the cheeks and jawline typically hold results longer. Your provider will give you a realistic timeline during your consultation.

‍2. Do dermal fillers hurt?
‍Most patients describe the experience as very manageable. We apply a topical numbing cream before treatment to reduce discomfort, and many modern fillers also contain lidocaine — a mild anesthetic — to keep you comfortable throughout. You may feel brief pressure or a slight pinch, but the procedure is generally well-tolerated, even in more sensitive areas like the lips.

‍3. Can dermal fillers be reversed?
‍Yes — hyaluronic acid fillers can be safely dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. This allows your provider to make precise corrections or fully reverse results if needed. At Rejuvify Medspa, we keep reversal agents on hand as part of our commitment to patient safety. Note that biostimulators like Sculptra and Radiesse are not reversible in the same way, which is why thorough consultation and conservative technique are especially important with those treatments.

‍4. Will I look overdone or unnatural?
‍Not with the right injector. At Rejuvify Medspa, we take a conservative, artistic approach that prioritizes balance and proportion. Our goal is always to help you look refreshed and naturally like yourself — never overfilled or exaggerated. Every treatment is customized to your face, and we always err on the side of doing less rather than more.
‍
‍5. Can I combine fillers with BOTOX?
‍Absolutely, and this combination is one of the most effective ways to achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation. BOTOX relaxes the muscles responsible for dynamic expression lines, while fillers restore lost volume and smooth deeper folds. Together, they address the full picture of facial aging for a balanced, natural result.

‍6. Are dermal fillers safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
‍Out of caution, we do not recommend dermal filler treatments during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Although fillers are widely considered safe in general, there is limited clinical research on their effects during pregnancy and lactation. We recommend waiting until after this period, at which point we would be happy to create a personalized treatment plan for you.

‍7. How soon will I see results?
‍It depends on the filler type. Hyaluronic acid fillers provide immediate visible improvement, with final results typically visible within one to two weeks once any mild swelling subsides. Biostimulators work more gradually, with results building over several weeks to a few months as collagen production increases.

‍8. Is there any downtime after treatment?
‍Dermal fillers are considered a minimally invasive treatment with very little downtime. Most patients return to their normal activities immediately. You may notice mild swelling, light bruising, or slight tenderness at the injection sites, but these effects are typically short-lived and resolve within a few days.
‍
‍9. What areas of the face can be treated?
‍Fillers can be used to enhance and rejuvenate multiple areas, including the lips, cheeks and mid-face, under-eye hollows, nasolabial folds, jawline, chin, and temples. Each treatment is fully customized to restore balance and harmony to your facial features.

‍10. How often will I need touch-ups?
‍Most patients schedule maintenance appointments every 6 to 18 months to keep their results looking fresh. Biostimulators may require less frequent upkeep over time, as they improve the skin itself rather than simply adding volume. Your provider will create a customized maintenance schedule based on your goals and how your body responds to treatment.

11. What aftercare do I need to follow?
‍Aftercare is simple. For the first 24 hours, avoid touching or massaging the treated areas. Skip intense exercise and limit alcohol and heat exposure — such as saunas or tanning beds — for 24 to 48 hours. Stay well hydrated and follow any specific instructions your provider gives you. Mild swelling or bruising typically resolves within a few days.

‍12. What are the potential risks or side effects?
‍Dermal fillers are very safe when performed by trained, experienced injectors. Potential side effects include temporary bruising, swelling, redness, or tenderness at the injection site. Asymmetry or uneven results are rare when proper technique is used. Allergic reactions are extremely uncommon. At Rejuvify Medspa, safety and precision are always our top priorities, and we take every precaution to minimize risk.

‍13. Can fillers help with under-eye bags or dark circles?
‍Fillers can be highly effective for under-eye hollowing — often called tear trough correction. By carefully adding volume beneath the eye, we can reduce shadowing and the appearance of tiredness. However, fillers are not the right solution for all types of under-eye concerns. Your provider will assess your anatomy during consultation and let you know whether fillers are a suitable option for you.

‍14. What is the difference between HA fillers and biostimulators?
‍Hyaluronic acid fillers work by physically adding volume to the treatment area and producing immediate results. They are also reversible. Biostimulators, on the other hand, do not add volume directly — instead, they trigger your body to produce more collagen over time, resulting in gradual improvement in skin quality, firmness, and texture. Many patients benefit from a combination of both approaches depending on their goals.

15. How do I get started with dermal fillers at Rejuvify Medspa?
‍The first step is a complimentary consultation with one of our providers. During this appointment, we assess your facial anatomy, listen to your goals, and recommend a personalized treatment plan. There is no pressure and no commitment required. We want you to feel fully informed and comfortable before moving forward with any treatment.
