Should I schedule downtime following dermal filler treatment?
You don’t need to schedule any downtime following any of these treatments. You’re in and out of the office quickly, and the results are evident right away. There is a minimal risk of bruising or swelling so plan around your events.
How long do the effects of dermal fillers last?

Is there an alternative to dermal fillers?
BioFiller is an “all natural” option that is ideal for people who do not want to use traditional fillers and can also be used in conjunction with traditional HA fillers and/or collagen stimulating injections to achieve natural-looking results. You can rejuvenate the skin and add volume using a double-spin PRF technique to create filler rich in platelets, stem cells, and growth factors from your own blood. This BioFiller is then injected using a microcannula or needle for tear troughs, cheeks, nasal folds, corners of the mouth lip lines, and chin to add volume and improve skin quality and texture. Rinnova Skin & Body knows Boulder has a need for something different, something 100% natural, something with no additives whatsoever.
- All natural with no additives
- Does not attract water
- Can be injected into multiple layers of the face
- Safer in those with autoimmune disorders
- Rejuvenates naturally as opposed to the fill and plump
What do neuromodulators do?
Botox and Jeuveau are both FDA-approved as a cosmetic treatments to temporarily reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles caused by the contraction of small facial muscles when you frown, squint, and smile. Used on millions of patients around the world, Botox is well-researched and highly effective in helping you look younger and more radiant. Jeuveau is an alternative option to similarly treat frown lines and wrinkles. Daxxify is the newest neuromodulator FDA-approved for frown line treatment to last 6 months and up to 9 months in some patients.
Botox and Jeuveau each consist of a purified neurotoxin that temporarily paralyzes small facial muscles. When these muscles relax in response to the injections, your face relaxes and wrinkles fade. Daxxify is also a purified neurotoxin manufactured in the United States. It is the first and only peptide-powered neuromodulator with a median duration of 6 months.
Where are Botox, Jeuveau, and Daxxify used?
Botox is effective in treating lines and wrinkles caused by expression. These include:
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
- Frown lines between the eyebrows
- Horizontal forehead creases
When neuromodulator treatments are combined with dermal fillers, which can address lines around the mouth and nose as well as fill in hollowed cheeks and thinning lips, you restore a youthful, smooth appearance for the whole face.
Who can have neuromodulators treatments?
Just about anyone older than 18 benefits from these treatments. Although the injectables are typically used to treat wrinkles, you may also opt to start them early to halt muscle action and prevent lines and wrinkles from appearing in the first place.
What should I expect during a neuromodulator treatment?
These treatments take about 20 minutes. Your face is cleansed, and the locations of the relevant muscles and injection sites are identified. With each injection, you do feel the needle pinch, but most people tolerate the procedure quite well. If you’re concerned about pain, talk to the providers about using ice prior to treatment.
You don’t have to take time off following these treatments. You can go back to your regular activities following a session, although it may be best to avoid strenuous exercise that day to get the most out of your neuromodulator.
How long do the effects of Botox, Jeuveau, and Daxxify last?
The effects of Jeuveau injections begin to appear within 2-4 days, while the effects of Botox are more noticeable within 3-7 days. Each of these treatments lasts 3-4 months. Daxxify effects are typically noticed within 2-4 days and because of it’s special peptide can last between 6-9 months. If you like your results, you can schedule follow-up injections to maintain your look. The staff at Rinnova Skin & Body can help you get on a regular treatment schedule.
