What is the difference between Botox and Dermal Filler?

Botox and Dermal Fillers serve different purposes but can complement each other for a youthful appearance.

• Botox is a neuromodulator that relaxes muscles to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, such as crow’s feet and frown lines.
• Dermal Fillers are gel-like substances used to restore lost volume, enhance facial contours, and smooth deep-set lines. They are commonly used in areas like the cheeks, lips, and jawline.

If I start Botox or Dermal Fillers, do I have to keep doing it forever?

No, these treatments are temporary, and stopping them will not make your face worse. However, once the effects wear off, your natural aging process will continue. Many clients choose to maintain their results with ongoing treatments, but it is entirely up to personal preference.

How long does Botox (Botulinum neurotoxin) last?

Botox typically lasts 3 to 4 months, depending on factors such as metabolism, muscle strength, and lifestyle. Regular treatments can help maintain results longer.

How long do Dermal Fillers last?

Dermal Fillers typically last between 6 to 18 months, depending on several factors such as the type of product used, the amount of product, the area treated, and individual factors like metabolism and lifestyle.

Are there risks with Botox or Dermal Fillers?

Like any medical treatment, there are potential risks, though they are minimal when performed by a trained professional. Possible side effects include:

• Botox: Temporary redness, swelling, mild bruising, or minor headaches. Rarely, there may be drooping if the product spreads beyond the intended area.
• Dermal Fillers: Swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site. In rare cases, vascular occlusion (blocked blood flow) can occur, which requires immediate attention.
  At Casa Beauty, we are fully equipped to handle complications should they arise, and we prioritize your safety throughout every treatment. A thorough consultation will be conducted to discuss any concerns before your service.

Does Botox or Filler hurt?

Most clients report only mild discomfort. We use numbing agents and fine needles to minimize pain, and the procedure is quick. Some areas may feel slightly tender afterward, but this typically subsides within a few hours to days.

What should I do before and after my treatment?

• Before Treatment: Avoid alcohol, blood thinners (unless prescribed by a doctor), and anti-inflammatory medications (such as ibuprofen) for 24-48 hours to reduce bruising.
• After Treatment: Avoid touching or massaging the area, strenuous exercise, and excessive heat (saunas, hot tubs) for 24-48 hours. Follow all aftercare instructions provided.

When will I see results?

• Botox: Results begin to appear within 3-5 days, with full effects visible in about 2 weeks.
• Dermal Fillers: Results are immediate, but mild swelling and settling may take up to 2 weeks to fully reveal the final look.

Can I get Botox and Fillers on the same day?

Yes! Botox and Fillers can be combined in the same session for a full facial rejuvenation. Your provider will assess your needs and recommend the best approach for natural, balanced results.

Who is NOT a good candidate for Botox or Dermal Fillers?

You may not be eligible for treatment if you:

• Are pregnant or breastfeeding
• Have a neuromuscular disorder (for Botox)
• Have an active skin infection in the treatment area
• Have a history of severe allergic reactions to any ingredients in the injectables

Can I fly after having cosmetic treatments done?

While you can typically fly after cosmetic treatments like Botox or dermal fillers, we recommend avoiding international travel for 2 weeks post-treatment. The prolonged cabin air pressure can cause unpredictable swelling and bruising. For local flights, waiting 24-48 hours is usually sufficient, but always follow post-treatment care instructions to ensure the best results. If you have any concerns about upcoming travel, feel free to consult with us before flying.
