Exploring the options for cosmetic injectables and dermal fillers can be both exciting and nerve-wracking. If you are feeling curious or unsure about what to expect, you aren’t alone!
This easy-to-follow guide will walk you through the process – from consultation to results – so you will know what to expect at your first injectable appointment.
Choosing the Right Provider
Your first injectable experience may vary depending on the provider. At Aspire Plastic Surgery, our board-certified physician and experienced medical team focus on delivering high-quality care with personalized guidance.
We understand that every patient is unique, so we’ll create a treatment plan tailored to your goals. Our approach emphasizes subtle, natural outcomes that enhance your features rather than drastically changing them.
Your Initial Consultation
Your first appointment isn’t just about injections – it’s about partnership. Your provider will review your health history, medications, and any existing conditions or allergies.
Next, you will discuss what you want to achieve: smoothing dynamic wrinkles with Botox® or Dysport®, adding volume with dermal fillers (like the RHA® Collection by Teoxane or SkinVive™ by Juvéderm®, or maybe a combination of both.
You will also be able to review before-and-after photos from other patients who received injectables or dermal fillers, giving you a realistic idea of what to expect. This is also the perfect time to ask any questions about your potential treatments.
Your First Treatment Day
On treatment day, you’ll check in, complete any necessary paperwork, and may receive a numbing cream or ice if needed. Injections are completed using ultra-fine needles and typically take less than 30 minutes, with many patients reporting only mild, brief discomfort.
Because no general anesthesia is required, most patients can return to their usual activities right after treatment. Some redness, mild swelling, or bruising may occur, but these effects typically fade within a day or two. You will be advised to refrain from rubbing the area and to avoid any strenuous exercise or sun exposure for the first 24 hours.
What Results Can You Expect?
Injectables like Botox® and Dysport® often begin to soften lines within 3 to 7 days and fully settle by 2 weeks. Dermal fillers like the RHA® Collection by Teoxane or SkinVive™ by Juvéderm® typically produce immediate lift or volume, but the final result may take a few days to appear as swelling subsides.
Results typically last several months: Botox around 3–4 months and most fillers between 6–12 months. However, results can vary among patients.
