What Dermal Fillers Do?

Dermal fillers are gel-like substances, typically made of hyaluronic acid or collagen-stimulating compounds, that are injected beneath the skin to: 

  • Restore lost volume in the cheeks, temples, and under-eyes.
  • Define and contour areas like the jawline, chin, or nose.
  • Smooth static lines and folds such as nasolabial folds or marionette lines.
  • Hydrate the skin from within for a plump, youthful glow.

Results are immediate, long-lasting, and completely customizable based on your anatomy and preferences. 

What Toxins Do?

Toxins are muscle-relaxing injectables that work by temporarily reducing muscle activity. They are most commonly used to: 

  • Smooth dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions, such as frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet.
  • Prevent the formation of new expression lines.
  • Slim or balance facial features (e.g. jaw slimming, eyebrow lift, or lip flip).
  • Treat concerns like excess sweating or jaw tension.

Toxins offer a refreshed, more relaxed look, with results appearing within a few days and lasting 3–6 months.

What’s the difference between fillers and toxins?

While both are injectables, they serve different purposes. 

  • Toxins relax the muscles that cause wrinkles from expressions. 
  • Fillers add or restore volume and contour to areas where it’s been lost or is naturally lacking. 

How long do the results last?

  • Toxins typically last 3 to 6 months. 
  • Dermal fillers vary depending on the area and product, lasting 6 months to over 18 months. 

Will I look “frozen” or overfilled?

Not at Neovie. Our injectors specialize in natural results. You’ll look refreshed, not overdone, with your expressions and features still very much your own, just more refined. 

Are the treatments painful?

Discomfort is minimal. Most injectables contain a numbing agent, and our clinicians may use additional numbing techniques to ensure comfort throughout the session. 

How soon will I see results?

  • Toxins begin to work within 3–5 days, with full effect in 10–14 days.  
  • Fillers deliver instant volume, with full results visible after any mild swelling subsides. 

Is there any downtime?

There’s little to no downtime. Some clients may experience mild swelling or bruising, which resolves quickly. You can typically resume normal activities the same or next day. 

Following your consultation, your medical expert may suggest a personalized combination protocol. Pricing may vary depending on the treatments.
