What to Expect
When considering face sculpting injections like Botox, fillers, or Sculptra, the journey begins with a consultation with Dr. Iorio. This is a relaxed and informative session where you can discuss your beauty goals and medical history. Dr. Iorio will take a close look at your facial features, skin, and areas you’d like to enhance. It’s also the perfect time to ask any questions you might have and get a clear understanding of what to expect. You may be given some tips to prepare, like avoiding certain medications or activities that could affect your treatment.
On the day of your injections, you can expect the process to be relaxed, straightforward, and quick. Botox is used to smooth out wrinkles by relaxing the muscles, often around the eyes and forehead. Fillers, like hyaluronic acid, add volume and contour to areas such as the cheeks and lips. Sculptra works by gradually stimulating collagen production, enhancing volume over time. The procedure itself usually takes between 15 to 60 minutes, depending on what you’re having done. Dr. Iorio may use a numbing cream to keep you comfortable, and you might feel a tiny pinch or a bit of pressure as the injections are done.
Once your facial sculpting injections are done, you might notice a bit of swelling, redness, or minor bruising, but these usually go away in a few days. Botox results will start to show in a few days and typically last three to four months. Fillers give you an immediate boost, with effects lasting from six months to over a year. Sculptra’s magic happens gradually, as it boosts collagen production, with results lasting up to two years. After the procedure, it’s best to take it easy for a day or two, avoid heavy exercise, and stay out of the sun to help your skin heal and ensure the best results. Dr. Iorio may schedule follow-up appointments to check on your progress and keep you looking your best.
What Are the Side Effects and Recovery Time?
Common side effects of facial sculpting injections include mild swelling, redness, and bruising at the injection sites. These effects are typically temporary and subside within a few days. Most people can return to their regular activities immediately after the procedure. However, it’s recommended to avoid strenuous exercise and direct sun exposure for a day or two to help ensure the best results and minimize any potential complications.
How Long Do the Results Last?
The duration of results varies depending on the type of injection. Botox results usually last three to four months, as it works by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles. Fillers, such as those made from hyaluronic acid, can last from six months to over a year, depending on the specific filler used and the treatment area. Sculptra, which stimulates collagen production over time, can provide results that last up to two years. Regular maintenance sessions can help sustain the desired effects.
Are the Injections Painful?
Most people find facial sculpting injections to be only mildly uncomfortable. Practitioners use fine needles or cannulas and often apply a topical anesthetic to numb the treatment area, which helps minimize any pain. The sensation during the injection is usually described as a slight pinch or pressure. After the procedure, there may be some tenderness, but this typically resolves quickly.
