FAQ

Result length depends on which filler is used and which area has been treated. On average lips last 9 months, nasolabial folds, marionette lines approximately 12 months,and cheeks up to 24 months. New generations of fillers last on average 50% longer.

“Any medication has risks, but the safety record for Botox is actually very robust,” said Hayley Goldbach, a resident physician of dermatology at the University of California-Los Angeles Health. “And consider that there have been tens of millions of patients treated with Botox.”

Dermal fillers are considered safe with no complications. .However, there are no guarantees that you will not have a reaction. You may be sensitive to hyaluronic acid, or lidocaine. But for the high majority of patients, dermal filler injection treatments may be a good non-surgical solution for plumping up thinning lips or cheeks to restore lost volume.
Severe complications however, have happened in the industry in the past. This has been in the form of vascular occlusion which included cutaneous necrosis and blindness. Over 10 years from 2003 to 2013, twelve severe case occurred, representing 0.05% of those treated. Although rare, these complications can occur due to the compression of the vessel or direct intravascular injection.

It’s very important that your treatment is conducted by a well trained Doctor with a high level of experience, such as Doctor Paravic.

During your free consultation, any concerns you may have will be discussed with Doctor Paravic.

Dr Paravic works with you during consultations and will advise you on how to get the results you want.

For the average sized person, Botox is safe and non toxic in doses less than 2500 units.

To illustrate, the typical dose of Botox for the underarms is 50 units per side, and that of the forehead is about 15-20 units. Frown lines usually require 16-20 units and crow’s feet 12-20 units.

When it comes to dermal fillers that depends on the area that we treat.

Here at Marrelle, we always advise to start from the upper face. If for example someone would like to do cheeks and nasolabial folds, we would advise you to have your cheeks done first and wait for couple of weeks before starting on your nasolabial folds.

The reason for this is that having your cheeks done may affect your nasolabial folds by way of lifting them anyway.

Having your lips done and some other facial areas will not interfere with each other and can be done at the same time.

Dr Paravic will discuss your requirements and recommend the best treatment plan for you during your consultation.

With fillers the result is immediate, however, the swelling sometimes can make up to 30% of the immediately visible changes and will go down in around 3-14 days.

Usually, after a week most people see the final filler result.

However, you will have to be allergy tested 48 hours prior to administering hyaluronidase.

The dissolving effect starts immediately but it will take approx 48 hours for full effect.

With Botox, unfortunately, you cannot reverse the effect. Botox will wear off with time, usually 3-6 months, perhaps a bit sooner if it is first treatment.

Having your treatment at home has many additional benefits.

It is very convenient, saving you time and additional costs associated with travel.

Post-treatment you may have swelling, redness or even slight bruising, being treated at home affords you the privacy of not being seen until you are ready.

Hot temperatures associated with travelling or areas where you are not in control of the temperature could also cause any swelling to get worse.
