Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Dermal Fillers.

Dermal Fillers are injectable gels, usually hyaluronic acid, that restore volume, smooth folds, and refine contours. At Gilluxe Aesthetics our licensed clinicians tailor product selection and placement for natural results visible immediately, with effects lasting months to over a year depending on product and area.

Duration varies by product and treatment area. Most hyaluronic acid fillers last six to eighteen months; lip and perioral areas often require more frequent touch-ups. During your consultation at Gilluxe Aesthetics we recommend a personalized plan and maintenance schedule to preserve optimal results.

Dermal Fillers are generally safe when administered by experienced injectors. Ideal candidates are in good health seeking volume restoration or contouring. We review medical history, allergies, and expectations at Gilluxe Aesthetics; pregnant or breastfeeding individuals and those with certain autoimmune conditions may be advised against treatment.

Discomfort is usually minimal; many fillers contain lidocaine and we offer topical numbing for comfort. Expect mild swelling, bruising or tenderness for one to seven days. Most clients return to normal activities immediately, avoiding strenuous exercise and alcohol for 24–48 hours to reduce swelling.

Fillers restore volume and shape using injectable gels, while Botox relaxes muscles to soften dynamic lines. They treat different concerns—fillers for hollows and contouring, Botox for expression lines—and are often combined at Gilluxe Aesthetics for complementary, natural-looking rejuvenation with tailored longevity.

Yes. Fillers pair well with Botox, neuromodulators, laser resurfacing, chemical peels, and PRP to address volume, texture, and skin quality. Gilluxe Aesthetics creates staged or combined treatment plans to maximize outcomes safely, customizing timing and products for each patient's goals.
