Dermal fillers are small injections of gel, typically made up of hyaluronic acid, that fills in wrinkles and adds volume to soft tissue. Dermal fillers can before different parts of your face: around the eye, cheeks, mouth and jawline, as well as lip fillers administered directly into the lip tissue
How Long Do Dermal Fillers Last?
Hyaluronic acid fillers are a temporary option, and can typically last from 6 to 18 months. Injections to the lips will wear out a little faster than those to the nasolabial folds as your body breaks the filler down in this area quicker. Having more than one treatment for filler can be required depending on your desired look.

When a filler is injected, it does stretch the skin slightly, filling out sagging skin and tissues that have been weakened over time. However, in most cases, after the filler fades away the skin will recover and go back to the way it looks when you came in.

Botox® works by weakening the muscles into which it is injected. As facial muscles contract, the loose skin above those muscles wrinkles. By weakening the muscles, the wrinkles are reduced.

Botox® takes two to four days before the muscle weakening effect takes place and you will see the results after the first treatment. The maximum effect takes place at around 10 to 14 days. The effect then lasts up to three months.

Botox®, itself, is not painful. The pain is associated with the needlestick. The smaller the needle, the better it is tolerated. When fluid is injected under the skin, it temporarily stimulates some of the nerve fibres. Everyone’s pain threshold for these differs from person to person.
