Dermal Fillers

Yes, Belotero® is generally well tolerated by all skin types, including sensitive skin. As a hyaluronic acid (HA) filler, it is designed to integrate smoothly into the skin, making it an excellent option for fine lines, wrinkles, and volume loss.

Why Belotero® is Safe for Most Skin Types

✅ Biocompatible & Naturally Occurring – Hyaluronic acid is already present in the skin, reducing the risk of allergic reactions.
✅ Smooth & Lightweight Formula – Unlike some thicker fillers, Belotero® blends seamlessly into the skin for a natural look.
✅ Low Risk of Lumps or Uneven Texture – Especially in delicate areas like under the eyes and around the lips.
✅ Minimal Downtime – Redness, swelling, or mild bruising may occur but usually resolves within a few days.

Who Should Take Extra Precaution?

While well tolerated by most, the following individuals should consult a professional before treatment:
🚫 Individuals with Severe Allergies or Sensitivities – While rare, those with a history of severe allergic reactions should be cautious.
🚫 People with Active Skin Conditions – If you have eczema, rosacea, or infections at the injection site, it's best to wait until the skin is clear.
🚫 Autoimmune or Connective Tissue Disorders – Those with conditions like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis should discuss the risks with their provider.
🚫 Pregnant or Breastfeeding Individuals – While no major risks have been found, most providers recommend waiting as a precaution.

Maximizing Safety & Results

• Choose an experienced injector who understands facial anatomy.
• Avoid alcohol, blood thinners, and excessive sun exposure before and after treatment.
• Follow aftercare instructions to reduce swelling and bruising.

At Jay’s Medispa, we customize each Belotero® treatment to suit your skin type and aesthetic goals while prioritizing safety and natural-looking results.

Results from dermal fillers are almost immediate, but they continue to improve as swelling subsides and the filler settles into place.

What to Expect After Your Treatment

• Immediately After – You’ll notice instant volume, contouring, and wrinkle reduction, but there may be slight swelling, redness, or bruising.
• 1-2 Days – Swelling starts to go down, and the filler begins integrating with your skin’s natural tissue.
• 1 Week – The filler fully settles, and any minor swelling or bruising should be gone.
• 2-4 Weeks – Optimal results are visible, with smooth, natural-looking volume.

How Long Do Results Last?

The longevity of your results depends on the type of filler used and your body's metabolism:
✅ Lips – 6 to 12 months
✅ Cheeks & Jawline – 12 to 18 months
✅ Nasolabial Folds (Smile Lines) – 9 to 12 months

How to Maximize Your Results

💧 Stay Hydrated – Hyaluronic acid fillers work best when your skin is well-hydrated.
🛑 Avoid Excessive Sun & Heat – UV exposure can break down fillers faster.
🩹 Follow Aftercare Instructions – Avoid strenuous activity, alcohol, and excessive facial pressure for 24-48 hours.
🔄 Schedule Maintenance Treatments – Regular touch-ups can help maintain long-lasting results.

At Jay’s Medispa, we specialize in natural-looking dermal filler enhancements that restore youthful volume and contour.

Dermal fillers are FDA-approved and considered safe when administered by a qualified professional, but like any cosmetic procedure, they come with some potential risks and side effects. Most side effects are mild and temporary, but rare complications can occur.

Common & Temporary Side Effects

These effects usually resolve within a few days:
✅ Mild Swelling & Redness – Common at the injection site, typically lasting 24-48 hours.
✅ Bruising – Can occur, especially in sensitive areas like the lips or under the eyes.
✅ Tenderness or Sensitivity – The treated area may feel slightly tender for a few days.
✅ Lumps or Unevenness – Some minor lumpiness can occur but usually settles as the filler integrates with the skin.

Rare but Possible Risks

🚨 Allergic Reaction – Although rare, some people may be sensitive to filler ingredients.
🚨 Infection – If proper aftercare isn’t followed, bacteria can enter the injection site.
🚨 Filler Migration – The filler may shift slightly from the original placement, which can usually be corrected.
🚨 Vascular Complications (Very Rare) – If filler is accidentally injected into a blood vessel, it can cause blockages, skin damage, or other serious issues. This is why it’s crucial to choose an experienced provider who understands facial anatomy.

How to Minimize Risks & Ensure Best Results

✅ Choose a Skilled Injector – Experience and knowledge of facial anatomy are key to a safe treatment.
✅ Avoid Blood Thinners Before Treatment – This includes aspirin, ibuprofen, and alcohol to reduce bruising risk.
✅ Follow Aftercare Instructions – Avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sun exposure, and facial pressure for 24-48 hours.
✅ Consider a Patch Test for Allergies – If you have known sensitivities, discuss this with your provider.

At Jay’s Medispa, safety is our top priority. Our skilled professionals use advanced techniques to ensure natural-looking results while minimizing risks.

Not if done correctly! At Jay’s Medispa, we specialize in natural-looking results that enhance your features without making you look overdone. The goal of dermal fillers is to restore lost volume, smooth fine lines, and enhance facial contours while maintaining a natural appearance.

Why Some Fillers Look Unnatural & How We Avoid It

❌ Overfilling – Too much filler can create an exaggerated, puffy look. We use a measured, conservative approach for a balanced result.

❌ Wrong Placement – Injecting filler in the wrong areas (or too deep/shallow) can look unnatural. Our injectors customize each treatment to suit your unique facial structure.

❌ Inexperienced Injectors – Poor technique can lead to asymmetry, lumps, or overcorrection. At Jay’s Medispa, we use advanced injection methods to ensure smooth, even, and natural-looking results.

How We Achieve a Natural Look

✅ Subtle Enhancements – We focus on gradual, natural volume restoration, rather than dramatic changes.

✅ Customized Treatment Plans – Every face is unique! We assess your facial proportions, skin type, and aesthetic goals before injecting.

✅ High-Quality Products – We use premium hyaluronic acid fillers, which mimic the skin’s natural hydration for a soft, natural feel.

✅ Gradual Approach – If you're new to fillers, we recommend a “less is more” approach, with touch-ups as needed.

How to Ensure Natural-Looking Results

💉 Choose an experienced injector – This is the most important factor in getting great results.
📅 Follow up for adjustments – A little tweak after the first session can perfect your look.
💧 Stay hydrated & maintain skincare – Good skin health enhances filler longevity and effectiveness.

At Jay’s Medispa, our goal is to help you look like the best version of yourself—refreshed, not overdone.
