It depends on the product and the treatment area. Lip fillers typically last 6–12 months because lips move a great deal. Cheek and mid-face fillers using Juvederm Voluma can last 18–24 months because of their deeper placement in a lower-movement area. Jawline and nasolabial fold fillers average 12–18 months. Individual metabolism, lifestyle factors like exercise frequency, and sun exposure all influence longevity. Scheduling a touch-up before results fully fade (rather than waiting until they're completely gone) helps maintain continuous, natural-looking results.

At Glow Health Medical Clinic, fillers are priced per syringe starting at $700 per syringe, with half-syringe options available for lips starting at $400. The total cost depends on which area(s) you're treating and how many syringes are needed. Lips typically require 0.5–1 syringe. Cheeks typically require 1–2 syringes. A full liquid facelift across multiple areas usually involves 3–6 syringes. We provide a full, transparent quote at your consultation — there are no surprise charges.

Discomfort is minimal for most patients. We apply a topical numbing cream before treatment, and most modern fillers contain lidocaine, which further reduces sensation during injection. Patients typically feel a mild pinch or pressure. The lips are more sensitive than other areas. Swelling and mild tenderness for 24–48 hours after is normal, but significant pain is not expected and should be reported immediately if it occurs.

Botox relaxes facial muscles to smooth dynamic wrinkles caused by expression — forehead lines, crow's feet, and frown lines (the "11s"). It does not add volume. Dermal fillers add physical volume and structure to areas that have hollowed or deflated with age — lips, cheeks, under-eyes, jawline, and nasolabial folds. They address completely different concerns and work in different ways. Most patients benefit from both: Botox to relax expression lines in the upper face and fillers to restore volume and structure in the mid and lower face. Together, they produce a comprehensive rejuvenation that neither could achieve alone.

Yes — one of the most important advantages of hyaluronic acid fillers (Juvederm) over other filler types is that they can be completely dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase. This means if you're ever unhappy with the result, experienced migration, or have a complication, the filler can be removed quickly and safely. This reversibility is one of the key reasons HA fillers are considered the gold standard for most injectable treatments.

A liquid facelift is a comprehensive filler treatment that addresses multiple areas of the face — typically cheeks, under-eyes, nasolabial folds, jawline, and sometimes temples and lips — in a single or staged protocol. The goal is whole-face rejuvenation that restores the structural balance and volume of a younger face, without surgery. At Glow Health Medical Clinic, a liquid facelift typically involves 3–6 syringes across different areas and ranges from $2,800–$4,500 depending on the specific areas treated. We develop a personalized plan at consultation.

Both are premium hyaluronic acid filler brands with excellent safety records. The differences lie in their proprietary cross-linking technology and specific formulations: Juvederm (made by Allergan/AbbVie) uses VYCROSS and Hylacross technology, giving it a smoother, more cohesive gel that tends to last longer in many areas. Restylane (made by Galderma) uses NASHA and OBT technology for a more particulate, firmer gel that offers good lift and precision in certain areas. In practice, the choice depends on the treatment area, the patient's anatomy, and the injector's preference. We select whichever product best suits your individual needs.

This is something we assess together at your consultation. The number of syringes needed depends on the treatment area, the degree of volume loss, and your desired outcome. As a general guide: lips typically require 0.5–1 syringe; cheeks 1–2 syringes; under-eyes 0.5–1 syringe total for both sides; jawline and chin 1–3 syringes; nasolabial folds 1–2 syringes. We always take a conservative approach — it's easy to add more at a touch-up appointment, but overfilling is harder to correct.

Downtime is minimal for most patients — most return to work and normal activities the same day or the next day. You can expect mild swelling (especially with lip filler) for 24–72 hours and occasional bruising that can last 5–7 days. Most patients can cover any bruising with makeup within a day or two. We advise avoiding intense exercise, saunas, alcohol, and face-down massage for 24–48 hours after treatment.

FDA-approved HA fillers like Juvederm have an excellent safety profile when administered by a trained, physician-supervised provider. Common side effects include temporary swelling, bruising, redness, and tenderness at injection sites. More serious risks — including vascular occlusion (when filler inadvertently enters a blood vessel) — are rare but can occur with any injectable treatment. This is why provider experience and anatomy knowledge matter enormously. We follow strict injection protocols and are trained to recognize and manage complications. The reversibility of HA fillers with hyaluronidase provides an additional safety net unique to this filler type.
