Question 1

What does the procedure feel like?

Accepted Answer

Most clients describe dermal filler treatment as very well tolerated and far more comfortable than they anticipated. Prior to treatment, a topical numbing cream is applied to the skin to minimize any discomfort — and most modern dermal fillers also contain a small amount of lidocaine, a local anesthetic that further numbs the area as the filler is injected for a more comfortable experience throughout.During the treatment, you may feel a mild pressure, pinching, or stinging sensation as the needle or cannula is introduced — but this is brief and very manageable for most clients. Certain areas of the face — such as the lips and under-eye area — may feel slightly more sensitive than others, but the combination of topical numbing and lidocaine-infused filler ensures the experience remains as comfortable as possible from start to finish.Following treatment, the injected areas may feel slightly tender, firm, or swollen to the touch — which is completely normal and a natural part of the settling process. Most clients find any post-treatment sensitivity very mild and easily managed, and are pleasantly surprised by just how comfortable and straightforward the overall experience truly is.

Question 2

How long do Dermal Fillers last?

Accepted Answer

The longevity of dermal fillers varies depending on the type of filler used, the area treated, and individual factors such as metabolism, lifestyle, and the amount of filler placed. On average, clients can expect their results to last anywhere from 6 to 18 months — making dermal fillers one of the longest-lasting non-surgical aesthetic treatments available.As a general guide:Lips — 6–12 monthsNasolabial folds & marionette lines — 9–12 monthsCheeks & mid-face — 12–18 monthsJawline & chin — 12–18 monthsTemples — 12–18 monthsTear troughs — 12–18 monthsOver time, dermal fillers are gradually and naturally broken down by the body — making touch-up treatments necessary to maintain your results. Regular maintenance appointments with your injector ensure your results stay consistently beautiful, naturally refreshed, and never overdone.

Question 3

How will I feel after my appointment?

Accepted Answer

Most clients leave their dermal filler appointment feeling excited, refreshed, and incredibly pleased with their immediate results. While some initial swelling, redness, and mild tenderness in the treated area is completely normal and expected, most clients find these effects very manageable and are thrilled with what they see even before the filler has fully settled.In the first 24–48 hours, the treated areas may feel slightly firm, tender, or swollen to the touch — and some clients may experience mild bruising depending on the area treated and their individual skin sensitivity. These effects are temporary and typically resolve within 3–7 days, revealing the full, natural beauty of your final results as the filler integrates seamlessly into the skin's tissue.By the end of the first week, most clients are feeling completely back to normal — and absolutely loving their results. And once the filler has fully settled at the 2-week mark, many clients describe feeling a renewed sense of confidence, refreshment, and natural beauty that makes the entire experience more than worth it.

Question 4

What is a syringe of filler?

Accepted Answer

A syringe of dermal filler is the standard unit of measurement used to describe the amount of filler used during a treatment. Each syringe contains 1ml of filler — roughly equivalent to about one-fifth of a teaspoon. While that may sound like a very small amount, 1ml of dermal filler is surprisingly impactful when placed precisely and strategically by a skilled injector.The number of syringes needed varies depending on the area being treated, the level of volume restoration or enhancement desired, and your unique facial anatomy. Some areas — such as the lips — may only require half a syringe to achieve a subtle, natural enhancement, while other areas — such as the cheeks or jawline — may benefit from 1–2 syringes per side for more significant volume restoration and contouring.During your consultation, your injector will assess your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals and provide a personalized recommendation for the number of syringes needed to achieve your desired result. At BodyBrite Austin, we always take a conservative, less-is-more approach — building volume gradually and naturally to ensure results that look beautifully balanced and uniquely yours.

Question 5

What age should I start getting Fillers?

Accepted Answer

Dermal fillers are generally recommended for adults in their mid-20s and older, though the ideal age to begin treatment is highly individual and dependent on your unique skin concerns, facial anatomy, and aesthetic goals. There is no one-size-fits-all answer — and at BodyBrite Austin, we believe the right time to start fillers is when you feel ready and when your injector determines it is appropriate for your specific needs.In your mid-to-late 20s, a conservative approach to fillers can be an excellent preventative strategy — subtly restoring early volume loss and maintaining facial balance before more significant changes occur. In your 30s and 40s, dermal fillers become one of the most powerful tools available for addressing volume loss, deepening lines, and loss of facial definition — restoring a naturally youthful and refreshed appearance without surgery. For those in their 50s and beyond, fillers can dramatically restore lost volume, lift sagging areas, and rejuvenate the overall facial contour — turning back the clock in a way that looks natural, balanced, and beautifully refreshed.Regardless of age, the most important factor is always the quality and expertise of your injector. At BodyBrite Austin, our team takes the time to thoroughly assess your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals at every stage of life — ensuring your treatment is always age-appropriate, naturally beautiful, and perfectly tailored to you.

Question 6

What's the difference between Fillers?

Accepted Answer

Not all dermal fillers are created equal — and understanding the differences between them is one of the most important reasons why a thorough consultation with an expert injector is so essential. Different fillers are specifically formulated with varying thicknesses, textures, and properties to perform optimally in different areas of the face — and selecting the right filler for the right area is the key to achieving results that are safe, natural-looking, and long-lasting.Hyaluronic Acid Fillers (HA Fillers)The most widely used category of dermal fillers, hyaluronic acid fillers — such as Juvederm® and Restylane® — are gel-like substances that attract and retain moisture to restore volume, smooth lines, and enhance contours. They are available in a range of thicknesses and formulations, each designed for specific areas of the face. Thinner, softer formulations are ideal for delicate areas such as the lips and tear troughs, while thicker, more structured formulations are used for deeper volume restoration in the cheeks, jawline, and chin. HA fillers are also fully reversible — dissolving naturally over time or immediately with a dissolving enzyme if needed.Collagen-Stimulating FillersCollagen-stimulating fillers — such as Sculptra® — work differently from traditional HA fillers by stimulating the body's own natural collagen production over time rather than providing immediate volume. These fillers are particularly effective for clients looking for gradual, long-lasting improvement in skin quality, firmness, and overall facial volume — with results that can last 2 years or longer.At BodyBrite Austin, our expert injectors will assess your unique facial anatomy, skin quality, and aesthetic goals during your consultation — carefully selecting the most appropriate filler formulation for each area to ensure the safest, most natural, and most beautiful result possible.

Accepted Answer

Question 8

Should I get Fillers right before my wedding?

Accepted Answer

Dermal fillers can be one of the most transformative and confidence-boosting treatments in any bridal beauty routine — but timing and planning are absolutely essential. We strongly recommend avoiding any new filler treatment within 4–6 weeks of your wedding day, as the skin requires adequate time to heal, any swelling or bruising to fully resolve, and the filler to settle and integrate naturally into the skin's tissue before your big day.For the most stunning bridal results, we recommend beginning your filler journey 6–12 months before your wedding. This allows ample time for a thorough consultation, a staged and conservative treatment plan, and any necessary touch-up appointments — ensuring your results are perfectly refined, naturally balanced, and absolutely camera-ready well before the celebration begins.If you are a first-time filler client, starting early is especially important. New clients may require multiple sessions to achieve their ideal result — and giving your injector the time to build volume gradually and assess your results at each stage ensures a natural, harmonious outcome that you will feel completely confident and beautiful in on your wedding day.Your last filler appointment should ideally be scheduled 4–6 weeks before your wedding — allowing any residual swelling to fully resolve and your results to settle into their most natural, luminous, and camera-ready finish. At BodyBrite Austin, we love being a part of your bridal journey — and we are committed to ensuring you look and feel like the most radiant, confident version of yourself on one of the most important days of your life.
