--- title: "Injectables & Fillers" --- ## Six ways to refresh your face Each one does something a little different. Pick one to see what it treats, how it works and what to expect. - Botox Relaxes the muscles behind frown lines, forehead lines, crow's feet and neck bands. Results start in 24 to 48 hours and can last up to 4 months. [1] - Juvéderm A family of hyaluronic acid gels, each made for its own area: lips, cheeks, chin, temples, jawline, under-eyes and smile lines. [2] - Radiesse Adds volume and helps your skin make more of its own collagen, for smile lines, hands, chest and, as Radiesse (+), the jawline. Results can last up to two years. [3] - Sculptra Helps your skin rebuild its support gradually over a short series, softening smile lines and cheek wrinkles for up to two years. [4] - Belotero Belotero Balance (+) softens facial lines and fills hollows under the eyes, with results that can last up to 18 months. [5] - Kybella A series of injections that treats fat under the chin, no surgery needed. [6] ## Which injectable is right for you?

[1] Filler adds volume under lines and hollows that are there when your face is still. Many people use both. **Q: Will I look overdone?** Not with a conservative approach, which is how results look most natural. [7] You can always add more at a follow-up. **Q: How long do results last?** It depends on the product: up to 4 months for Botox, [1] and up to a year or two for most fillers, by product and area. [2] [3] [5] **Q: Is there downtime?** Very little. Most filler visits take 15 to 30 minutes, [7] and most people go back to their day. Any redness, swelling or bruising usually clears within one to two weeks. [7] **Q: Who shouldn't have injectables?** Fillers are approved for adults, [8] and their safety during pregnancy and breastfeeding is unknown. [8] Your consultation covers your health history before anything is planned. **Q: Can filler be reversed?** Yes. Hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvéderm can be dissolved with an enzyme if needed, [9] and we can dissolve filler you had placed here. ## References [BOTOX® Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA)](https://www.botoxcosmetic.com/) [JUVÉDERM® Collection of Fillers: Important Safety Information](https://www.juvederm.com/) [Merz Aesthetics Receives FDA Approval for RADIESSE® for the Treatment of Wrinkles in the Décolleté Area](https://merzaesthetics.com/news/fda-approval-radiesse-for-treatment-of-wrinkles-in-decollete-area/) [Galderma receives FDA approval for Sculptra® for cheek wrinkles](https://www.galderma.com/news/galderma-receives-fda-approval-sculptrar-cheek-wrinkles-0) [BELOTERO BALANCE® (+)](https://www.belotero.com/) [KYBELLA (deoxycholic acid) injection: Prescribing Information](https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2022/206333s005lbl.pdf) [Fillers: FAQs](https://www.aad.org/public/cosmetic/wrinkles/fillers-faqs) [Dermal Fillers (Soft Tissue Fillers)](https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/aesthetic-cosmetic-devices/dermal-fillers-soft-tissue-fillers) [Risks and rewards: What to know about dissolving filler](https://www.plasticsurgery.org/news/articles/risks-and-rewards-what-to-know-about-dissolving-filler) Content on this page is for educational purposes and is not a substitute for professional medical advice.
