During your consultation for filler in Waxhaw, we’ll go over your treatment plan and tailor the process specific to your body, medical history, and your desired results. We’ll run a full examination to ensure optimal and safe treatment visits. We’ll also use this time to discuss the options available for financing your journey.

We are so excited to see you and want you to feel prepared for your first filler visit at Dogwood Face & Body! While we’ll go over your pre-care instructions in full at your consultation, a few pointers include:

• Avoid alcoholic beverages at least 24 hours prior to treatment. Alcohol may thin blood, which increases your risk of bruising.
• Avoid anti-inflammatory and blood thinning medications, ideally for 2 weeks before treatment.
• Medications and supplements such as Aspirin, Vitamin E, Ginkgo Biloba, St. John’s Wort, Ibuprofen, Motrin, Advil, Aleve,Vioxx, and other NSAIDs are all blood thinning medications and supplements. This can increase the risk of bruising/swelling.

We know that our clients are busy, so we’ve tailored our appointments for filler in Waxhaw to just 30 to 60 minutes! Most clients leave with immediate results and return to their busy schedules seamlessly.

The lifespan of the filler depends on the area of injection, as well as your lifestyle. More movement = shorter lifespan. At a glance, we’ve listed the general lifespan broken down by area:

Yes! We can combine fillers with other treatments at Dogwood Face & Body. When we meet to go over your treatment plan, we might explore combining fillers with Botox or Xeomin. We’ll use your body and wellness goals to inform potential combinations.

You can often see the effects of fillers immediately! And even better, you can expect to see ongoing results as the days go by, as further refinement appears after initial swelling subsides.

Fillers can address most areas on the face to help reverse and fight the signs of aging! This means we can use filler in Waxhaw on the following areas:

• Marionette Lines (corner of lips to jawline)
• Cheeks
• Jawline
• Chin

• Don’t touch your face for 4 hours after injections.
• Don’t lay down for 4 hours after injections.
• Don’t workout or break a sweat for 24 hours.
