How it works.
What to expect, start to finish.
We photograph your face at rest and in motion, then place filler where structure, not volume, brings balance. Most areas take one to two syringes, swelling settles within a couple of days and the result lasts nine to eighteen months depending on the product and the area.
- Lips
- Cheeks
- Jawline
- Under-eyes
Your visit, step by step
- Before
Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning supplements for a few days, and bring any previous filler records.
- During
Numbing cream goes on first; your clinician places the filler in small amounts, checking symmetry in the mirror with you.
- After
Ice if you like, skip workouts and saunas for 24 hours, and we review the result at two weeks.

The cheek-smoothness conversation
SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM is an intradermal hyaluronic-acid injectable indicated to improve cheek smoothness in adults over 21. Its brief is different from changing facial volume or relaxing movement.
- Ask about the exact approved treatment area and suitability.
- Distinguish injectable treatment from topical hydration.
- Discuss bruising, swelling and the vascular risks of facial injections.

Good to know.
How many syringes will I need?
Most lips and jawlines take one, cheeks one to two. Your clinician quotes the plan at your consultation, and you only pay for what is used.
Can filler be dissolved?
Yes. Hyaluronic-acid fillers can be dissolved by your clinician if ever needed, which is one reason we use them.
Does it hurt?
Numbing cream and fine needles keep it to a few seconds of pressure for most clients.
Questions worth bringing.
- What would an assessment of my facial anatomy and previous filler history involve?
- How will the clinician explain vascular risks, product choice and their response to a complication?
- Which alternatives, maintenance needs and removal limitations should I discuss before deciding?
