If you live in Encino and are looking for a non-surgical option to add volume, enhance facial balance, or reduce the appearance of wrinkles, dermal fillers may be right for you. To be certain this is the best approach, we encourage meeting with one of our knowledgeable providers. In your consultation, you can review your areas of concern, explore the benefits of treatment, and determine if fillers are the most effective method to help you achieve natural and refined results.

• Your Medical History: Individuals with autoimmune disorders, ongoing skin infections, or a tendency toward keloids should fully disclose this information to their provider. Please also report any allergies, asthma, or previous reactions like anaphylaxis so that we can determine the most suitable hypoallergenic filler options for your treatment.
• Medication Use: Inform the clinical team about all medications you are taking. Patients using blood-thinning medications may be at a higher risk of bruising after injections, and this information helps us manage your care safely.
• Allergy Testing: Allergies to animal-derived substances such as bovine collagen or poultry compounds may restrict your filler options. In select cases, a small test injection can be performed to monitor your skin’s response before proceeding with a full procedure.
• Pregnancy and Nursing: Dermal filler treatments should be delayed for anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding. This precaution is recommended to ensure the safety of both mother and child.

Our team works with high-grade hyaluronic acid fillers supplied by trusted medical brands. Each product is designed for a specific treatment area, whether that’s giving lips a fuller look or replenishing lost facial volume with reliable accuracy and safety.

There is typically very little downtime. You might experience swelling or bruising for 3 to 7 days, but most individuals return to daily routines right away. Avoiding exercise or strenuous movement for the first 24 hours is recommended.

To lower your risk of bruising or irritation, refrain from alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen, or fish oil supplements for about a week beforehand. Please arrive with a clean face and no makeup applied to the areas to be treated.

Pain levels are generally very low. We apply numbing cream to the area before the injection, and the majority of fillers also contain lidocaine. Patients usually describe only a slight pinching or pressure during treatment.

Swelling, redness, or mild bruising can appear near the injection points, but these effects typically disappear within a few days. Significant complications are extremely rare in the hands of an experienced provider.

Alcohol, intense exercise, and exposure to hot environments like saunas should be avoided for at least 24 to 48 hours. Do not press on the injection sites, and sleep with your head slightly propped up to reduce swelling on the first night.

Fillers generally last 6 to 18 months. Lip fillers commonly provide results for up to a year, whereas cheek volume restorations can be noticeable for as long as 18 months, depending on your metabolism and filler choice.

Yes, fillers are often paired with Botox, microneedling, and laser treatments. A combination plan designed for your needs can maximize the overall effect of your cosmetic treatment.

Botox relaxes facial muscles to reduce wrinkles, while fillers add volume and contour. Used together, they complement each other for a more youthful and harmonious result.

• Dermal Fillers: These injectable gels help restore lost facial volume, lift and contour the cheeks, plump the lips, and smooth out deep lines around the nose and mouth. They also provide structural support to the skin while enhancing overall facial aesthetics.
• Botulinum Toxin Type A (Botox): Botox is a safe and effective treatment that temporarily relaxes specific facial muscles responsible for expression-related wrinkles. It is particularly effective in addressing forehead lines, crow’s feet, and glabellar lines while preserving natural expressions.

Both dermal fillers and facial fat grafting are designed to restore a youthful appearance by adding volume and smoothing facial contours. Fillers use hyaluronic acid to replenish areas affected by aging in a minimally invasive way. Fat grafting takes fat from another part of the body, like the abdomen or thighs, and injects it into facial regions. Although fat grafting can offer longer-lasting results, it involves surgery and a longer recovery period. Dermal fillers provide a quicker, non-surgical solution with immediate results that are easier to predict.

Yes, most hyaluronic acid fillers can be safely reversed using hyaluronidase, an injectable enzyme. This ensures that any adjustments can be made efficiently and safely, providing patients with reassurance.

Dermal filler treatments are not advised for individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding. While there is no direct evidence indicating harm, the lack of comprehensive research means it is safest to delay treatments until after these periods.
