The experience of pain during a filler procedure can vary from person to person. To minimise discomfort numbing cream will be applied before the procedure, there is also numbing agent in the filler itself. The skill and experience of the practitioner play a significant role in minimizing discomfort. An experienced injector is likely to work efficiently, reducing the time of the procedure and, consequently, any potential discomfort.

The results of filler injections are visible immediately after the procedure, but the full and final outcome may take 14 days to settle.

The longevity of filler results varies depending on factors such as the type of filler used, individual metabolism, and lifestyle. Hyaluronic acid fillers, one of the most common types used, typically last around 6 to 12 months.

When performed by a qualified and experienced medical professional, filler injections are considered safe. Hyaluronic acid-based fillers, which are used here at Aesthetics by Lisa are among the safest types of dermal fillers.

Swelling and bruising is a common side effect of filler injections and can be more pronounced in the first 24 to 48 hours. The extent of swelling varies among individuals, but it typically subsides within a few days.

Over the next 1 to 2 weeks, the filler will settle into its final position, and any initial swelling or bruising will diminish.
