Lip Filler FAQ’s:
Q: What are neurotoxins and how do they work?
A: A neurotoxin blocks the release of a substance called acetylcholine, that signals our body’s muscles to contract. As a result, the muscle group that was injected becomes weakened. This weakening leads to reduction in muscle movement and many times can completely inhibit the movement. In general, toxins help diminish the appearance of dynamic wrinkles (the ones that are formed from repetitive facial movements). It can help to soften the appearance of wrinkles that are present at rest.
Q: What are the differences between BOTOX Cosmetic, Dysport, and DAXXIFY?
A: Botox®, Dyport®, and Daxxify® are all injectables that are neurotoxins that use botulinum toxin to reduce the muscle movement that causes wrinkles.
The differences between BOTOX Cosmetic, Dysport, and Daxxify lie in their formulations and FDA indications. BOTOX (onabotulinumtoxin A) utilizes a protein from Clostridium botulinum. It has 3 FDA indicated areas: the glabella ( 11’s), crows’s feet (around the eyes), and the forehead.
Dysport (abobitulinumtoxin A), is also derived from botulinum toxin. It also has the same 3 FDA indicated areas.
Daxxify (daxibotulinumtoxin A) is unique in that it uses a small peptide exchange technology rather than delivering the toxin to the nerve cells. It has FDA indication for use for glabellar lines.
All of these products are used “ off label”, meaning not FDA indicated, to treat many areas of the face.
The onset for each neurotoxin can be different, but generally is between 2-10 days. Most people will get between 3-4 months between treatments, but can vary depending on different factors for individuals. For 50% of people, they may get up to 6 months duration with the use of Daxxify.
Q: What is the difference between neurotoxins and dermal fillers?
A: Neurotoxins are used to soften and reduce wrinkles/lines in the forehead, the glabella ( double 11’s), crows feet, bunny lines, jawline, neck lines – these injections can last up to 3-4 months. The effects of neurotoxins are seen within 2-10 days.
Dermal fillers are used to lift and fill out different areas of the face. The nasolabial folds (smile lines), soft smoker lines around the lips, create fuller lips, define cheeks and can create a sharper jawline. Dermal fillers can last up to 6-18 months depending on the area injected and which dermal filler was used.
Q: Do the injections hurt?
A: Needles used for neurotoxins like Botox, Dysport, and Daxxify are extremely small; like the size of the needle that is used for insulin injections. That doesn’t mean it won’t hurt at all, but it means the pain will be minimized compared to an immunization or a flu shot. On request, we can ice the injection sites beforehand, which helps numb your soon-to-be-wrinkle free zones.
Q: How quickly will I see results from neurotoxin treatments?
A: The effects of neurotoxin treatments typically become visible within three to seven days after treatment. However, individual results may vary, and it may take more than one treatment to achieve optimal results. We find that you will have your optimal results in 3 weeks.
A: Determining the number of neurotoxin units needed is a nuanced process influenced by various factors. The optimal unit count depends on the specific facial areas being treated, whether it’s an initial or repeat treatment, and the desired level of effect. For instance, addressing upper forehead lines may require eight to twenty units, while crow’s feet may necessitate even more units for a full treatment. Generally, if you are treating one area of the upper face, such as the forehead, you need to treat the glabella and eyes at the same time. The reason for this is, when you relax one area the other areas start to work harder (or recruit) and can make those areas wrinkle even more.
In terms of new versus repeat treatments, adjustments are made based on the patient’s previous experience. If a patient has been overly treated in the past ,we decrease units; conversely, if there has been too much movement, we may increase units. The desired level of movement and expression also plays a role, with fewer units injected for more movement and more units for a greater reduction in facial lines.
While there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach, it’s uncommon for a patient to require fewer than 50 units for all three popular treatment areas. Typically, we find optimal results with 50-65 units, but some cases may require 70 or more units for the desired outcome.

Q: Are Dermal fillers long-lasting?
A: Juvederm family of dermal fillers, RHA family, and Restylane family of dermal fillers are all hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers used for various facial enhancements. Juvederm includes different formulations like Juvederm Ultra, Ultra Plus, Voluma, Vollure, Volux, and Volbella. Restylane includes different formulations such as Lyft, Defyne, Refyne, Silk, Kysse, and Eyelight. RHA includes different formulations called RHA2, RHA3, RHA4, and RHA Redensity.
Key Differences:
Cohesivity: Dermal filler cohesivity refers to the ability of the filler substance to maintain its structure and integrity once it’s injected into the skin. Highly cohesive fillers have molecules that are tightly bound together, allowing them to stay in place and provide support to the surrounding tissues. This property is important for achieving natural-looking results and long-lasting effects in cosmetic procedures such as filling wrinkles or adding volume to the face. Each of the products has a different cohesivity and influences where products are placed in the face.
Application Areas: Based on cohesivity some products are too firm to be placed in certain areas of the face. For example, the filler that is chosen to use for your cheeks would not be used in your lips as it would be too firm.
Results: You will see your results immediately, however, you must consider that you can have swelling, bruising, and the injection sites may be visible. Give your filler about two- three weeks for the filler to integrate with your own tissue and you will see the optimal results. You can expect that results will last generally last between nine and 12 months, but are influenced by factors like treatment area and skin condition.
A: The most widely used filler in the United States is hyaluronic acid (HA), known for its soft texture and natural-looking results, gradually dissolving over 6 to 12 months. Injectors tend to use the products that they like best, because of various reasons.
At Unique Beauty Medspa, we offer the most effective and natural-looking injectable fillers. The Restylane and Juvederm family stands out as our preferred option for certain treatment areas, renowned for greater adaptability to facial expressions.

A: As lip fillers are a non-surgical procedure, they involve no invasive surgery, cuts, or stitches on the lips. We apply numbing cream for 15 minutes to minimize injection discomfort. While most clients do not experience significant discomfort, some may feel slight pressure. Bruising, swelling, and/or redness can occur, but typically resolve within a few days (in some cases, it may take up to one week).
A: In some cases, lip filler patients may experience swelling in the lip area after having the treatment carried out. The amount of lip filler used on a patient can also have an impact on the risk of swelling occurring. This is a completely normal side effect of lip injections and can occur immediately or shows through one to two days following treatment. The first day following the injection is when you will have the most swelling and it will then begin to resolve. Allow two weeks to allow the filler to fully integrate with your own tissue. It is not uncommon to feel lumps and bumps in your tissue during that first 2 weeks. If lip swelling does occur, then patients can apply ice to the lips using an ice pack or an ice cube covered in cloth (so it doesn’t stick to the lip and cause pain). This will help ease any swelling, itching, bruising or pain that may occur as a result of the treatment.
A: As with many medical cosmetic treatments, it is not advisable to receive lip filler treatments while pregnant. Dermal fillers have not been tested or verified for safety and efficacy on pregnant patients, so there is no concrete evidence to support the safety of fillers in this group of patients.
