What You’ll Experience
When you visit us to get filler in Cedar Rapids, you’ll start with an in-depth consultation with one of our highly trained injectors. We want to ensure you get results that you’ll love, so we take the time to get to know you and your aesthetic goals.
Then, we’ll create a customized treatment plan that includes which type of filler, how much we’ll need to use, and where we’ll position your injections. Then, we’ll prep your skin and place your fillers!
Why Wait?
Reach out to The Skin Lounge to get started with filler in Cedar Rapids.
Results from filler typically last 1 to 2 years. However, it can vary for each individual because it depends on multiple factors: your body’s metabolism and where the filler is placed can impact the length of time. For example, fillers placed in a more active part of the face, like the lips, might not last as long.
It depends on what you want to treat. Botox and filler provide different solutions for your skin. Fillers are best for volume loss, while Botox addresses wrinkles caused by muscle contractions. Sometimes, patients opt to get both if it makes sense for their aesthetic goals!
Depending on the placement and their short-term and long-term aesthetic goals, everyone may need a different amount of filler. During your consultation, we will help you determine the number of syringes of filler that you need to accomplish those goals. Everyone’s treatment plan is unique and reflects their specific goals! We work to ensure that you have natural-looking results and don’t look “over-filled.”
Keep in mind:
1 syringe of filler is equal to 1 blueberry
2 syringes of filler are equal to 1 raspberry

Avoid applying pressure or touching the treated area for 3 days after the procedure. The area can then be gently washed with a cleanser and water. |

Avoid manipulation of the area following the injection unless specifically instructed otherwise by your healthcare practitioner. |
