Q: When will I see the results?

One of the best things about dermal fillers is that the results are immediate. You will notice the added volume and contour right after your appointment, though the final, settled result is best evaluated after 1 to 2 weeks when any minor swelling goes down.

Q: Does the filler injection hurt?

The procedure is generally very well tolerated. We use high-quality fillers that are formulated with lidocaine (a local anesthetic) to numb the area as we go. We can also apply a topical numbing cream prior to the treatment for maximum comfort.

Q: What is the difference between Dermal Fillers and Botulinum Toxin?

While Botulinum Toxin relaxes the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles (like frown lines), Dermal Fillers are used to restore lost volume, plump areas like the lips and cheeks, and fill in deep static wrinkles or folds.

Q: What are Dermal Fillers made of?

Most modern, premium dermal fillers are made of Hyaluronic Acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in our skin that keeps it hydrated, plump, and structurally supported.

Q: How do I prepare for my appointment?

To minimize the risk of bruising, it is recommended to avoid alcohol, blood-thinning medications (like aspirin or ibuprofen), and certain supplements for about a week prior to your treatment.

Q: Can I combine Botulinum Toxin with Dermal Fillers?

Absolutely. In fact, combining Botulinum Toxin (which relaxes muscles) with Dermal Fillers (which restore volume) is a very common and effective way to achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Q: Is Botulinum Toxin safe?

Yes, when administered by a trained medical professional like Dr. Darío Chavoya, it is a highly safe and rigorously tested treatment with a long history of use in medicine and aesthetics.

Q: Are there any side effects?

Side effects are rare and typically mild. You might experience slight redness, pinpoint bleeding, or minor bruising at the injection sites, which resolves quickly.

Q: At what age should I start getting this treatment?

There is no specific "right" age. Many patients start in their late 20s or early 30s as a preventative measure ("Baby Botox") to stop deep wrinkles from forming in the first place.

Q: What should I avoid immediately after treatment?

We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, lying flat, rubbing the treated area, or excessive sun exposure for the first 24 hours to ensure the product settles correctly.
