Don’t worry if you’re unsure of which injectable is right for you, that’s what our complimentary, no-pressure consultations are for! During the consult, we develop a custom treatment plan for you that caters to your own specific goals. This attention to detail ensures a natural-looking outcome. During the consultation, we consider all of the following: 

• The issues you’d like to correct

• The areas you’d like to treat

• How long you want results to last

• Your health history 

Pain tolerance varies from person to person, but most of our clients find that the treatment is more comfortable than expected! All lip clients are numbed using a topical cream that works before the injection, plus our products also contain lidocaine in them so you will begin to feel numb from that too. Our injectors offer clients a wand designed to help distract from the injections.

Because each product is different, your results can last anywhere between three months and two years based on the product, the area injected, and the amount of product injected during your treatment.

Like any injection, these can result in bruising so it’s best to avoid taking blood thinners like aspirin or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (ibuprofen, naproxen, etc.) for a week prior to treatment.

Avoid fish oil supplements, vitamin E, and herbal supplements for a few days prior to the procedure, unless medically necessary. (Be sure to mention this to your injector during your consultation). DO NOT STOP taking any prescribed blood thinning medications.

Start taking an Arnica supplement if you know you tend to bruise a few weeks before your appointment.

We ask that you please plan your treatments with enough time ahead of special events (NOT the day before your wedding) because bruising, redness, swelling or tenderness in the treated area are all normal/expected side effects of injections and will generally take a few days to disappear. Regarding immediate after-care, be sure to apply a cool compress to the treatment area (do not apply ice directly to skin) for approximately 5-10 minutes every half an hour on the day of treatment. Avoid any pressure or heat inducing activities for 24 hours such as strenuous exercise, spas, saunas and hot showers.
