Botox & Fillers Q&A

What are Botox and fillers?

Botox and fillers are safe, FDA-approved cosmetic injectables that reduce bothersome signs of aging, particularly lines, wrinkles, and lax skin. These injectables are simple, painless treatments that offer exceptional anti-aging results without any downtime. Everyone can benefit from these injections, regardless of their skin type.

Botox uses a botulinum toxin to relax facial muscles and diminish lines caused by laughing, smiling, and frowning. Kefi Advanced Laser & Skin offers Dysport® and Jeuveau® in addition to Botox.

Dermal fillers contain safe substances that add volume to your face, lips, or body. Kefi Advanced Laser & Skin provides Juvéderm® and Galderma® dermal filler products to reduce wrinkled, sunken-in, or lax skin. 

What are the benefits of Botox and fillers?

The advantages you can reap after undergoing Botox and fillers include:

  • Tighter, smoother, lifted skin
  • Better facial contours
  • Improved facial symmetry
  • Reduced lines and wrinkles
  • Younger-looking skin
  • Self-confidence

These injections can dramatically improve the appearance of treated skin without surgery or other invasive procedures. 

Are Botox and fillers right for me?

Your Kefi Advanced Laser & Skin specialist determines if Botox, fillers, or both are a match for your aesthetic needs after reviewing your medical history and beauty goals. They also examine your skin before customizing a treatment plan that may include more than one type of injectable, along with additional cosmetic treatments as needed.

What happens when receiving Botox and fillers?

During the injections, you rest comfortably in a relaxing room at Kefi Advanced Laser & Skin. Your provider can numb the treatment area to maximize comfort. They use a very tiny needle to gently inject Botox or fillers beneath the skin in problem areas. Each injection takes just a minute or two to complete, and you often need more than one injection during each treatment.

After the procedure, you can get back to work or resume a normal routine. However, you may have some redness, swelling, or tenderness at the treatment site for a short time. Avoid touching the affected areas, but you can apply ice to them if you’d like to reduce swelling.

You’ll notice the results from the fillers right away, but Botox injections often take a few days to take effect.

How often do I need Botox and fillers?

The Kefi Advanced Laser & Skin team lets you know when to schedule your next Botox and fillers treatment to ensure long-lasting results. Botox usually lasts about 3-5 months, while dermal fillers can last 6-24 months or longer in some cases.
