Your Filler Appointment: What To Expect

Your treatment will take on average 30 minutes. A topical or injectable numbing agent is used to keep you comfortable through the whole process. The filler is placed using a fine needle or canula to the affected area. We use ultrasound guidance to ensure the highest quality injections.  Once treatment is complete you can ice the area as needed to reduce any potential bruising or swelling.
