Thinking about getting dermal fillers? Whether you’re looking to restore youthful volume, define your features, or smooth out fine lines, fillers are a safe and effective way to enhance your natural beauty—without surgery or long recovery times.
At Rhodes Medspa, we’re here to make your aesthetic journey smooth, informed, and confidence-boosting from start to finish. Here’s everything you need to know about your filler experience.
Before Your Filler Appointment
Your journey begins with a personalized consultation. We’ll discuss your goals, review your medical history, and assess your facial structure to determine the best filler type and placement.
To get the best results, avoid the following at least 24–48 hours before your treatment:
- Aspirin, ibuprofen, or other blood thinners (unless prescribed)
- Alcohol
- High-intensity workouts
- Fish oil or vitamin E supplements
Tip: Arrive with clean skin and minimal makeup for a smoother process.
During Your Treatment
Filler appointments are quick and comfortable—usually about 30 to 45 minutes.
Here’s what you can expect:
- A topical numbing cream may be applied for comfort.
- Your provider will use a fine needle or cannula to place filler in targeted areas like lips, cheeks, under-eyes, or jawline.
- We’ll take before-and-after photos to help visualize your results.
- We focus on natural, refreshed results—never overdone.
After Your Treatment
It’s normal to have some swelling, redness, or tenderness for a day or two. Some light bruising may appear but usually fades quickly.
Post-treatment tips:
- Apply cold compresses gently for swelling.
- Sleep on your back with your head elevated.
- Avoid intense workouts, saunas, alcohol, or touching your face for 24 hours.
- No facial treatments or massages for about a week.
- Most clients feel confident returning to their usual routine the next day!
When Will I See Results?
Results are often visible right away, but you’ll see the final look as swelling subsides—typically within 7 to 10 days. Subtle refinements may continue as the filler settles beautifully.
How long do fillers last?
- Lips: 6–12 months
- Cheeks & jawline: 12–18 months
- Under-eyes: Up to 1 year
We’ll help you decide when to come in for a touch-up to keep your look fresh and balanced.
