Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to commonly asked questions by patients seeking treatment with Injectables & Facial Aesthetics.

• How long does it last?
  Results start in 3–7 days and reach full effect by two weeks. On average, results last 3–4 months, depending on dose, muscle strength, and metabolism.
• Is this the same as surgical jaw contouring?
  No. Surgery changes the bone permanently. Non-surgical contouring uses filler and Botox, is done in under an hour, has no downtime and is reversible. For many people it achieves the look they want without an operation.
• Is it safe?
  When performed by a trained medical professional, neurotoxins have an excellent safety record and have been used safely for decades. We review your medical history to ensure treatment is appropriate for you.
• Can jawline filler look natural on a woman?
  Yes. For women we aim for a clean, lifted line rather than a hard angle. The amount and placement are very different from a male plan.
• How many syringes does jawline filler take?
  Often two to four across the jaw and chin, depending on your starting point and how much definition you want. We build in stages.
• What are Neurotoxins?
  Neurotoxins are injectable medications (such as Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin®, Jeuveau®, and Daxxify®) that temporarily relax targeted facial muscles. This softens lines caused by expression, such as frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead wrinkles, while preserving natural expression when done correctly.
