Every appointment starts with a facial assessment. Our experienced aesthetic injector studies how your face looks at rest and in expression, listens to what you want to soften or restore, and maps a plan before any product is used.
Treatment itself is quick: a fine needle places Botox or dermal filler precisely where it is needed, and most appointments take under 30 minutes. Discomfort is minimal. No anesthesia is required, and numbing is available for sensitive areas such as the lips.
Injectables are the most effective non-surgical way to soften expression lines and restore lost volume, with results that look like you on a well-rested day, not like you had something done.
At Epic Plastic Surgery, injectables are delivered within the private practice of board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Orlando Llorente, whose team has performed more than 10,000 cosmetic procedures. That surgical understanding of facial anatomy shapes every plan: conservative dosing, precise placement and balance across the whole face.
Cosmetic injectables fall into two main families. Neuromodulators such as Botox relax the muscles that crease the skin, while dermal fillers such as Juvéderm restore volume and structure. Many faces benefit from both in a single, coordinated plan.
Botox temporarily relaxes the small muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles, the lines that form when you frown, squint or raise your brows. Common areas include forehead lines, the vertical “11s” between the brows and crow’s feet. Results begin in 3–5 days, reach full effect at about 2 weeks and typically last 3–4 months.
Hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvéderm replace volume that fades with age. Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the skin and attracts water, so it adds soft, natural-feeling fullness. Fillers restore the cheeks, soften deep folds, define the lips and jawline and refresh under-eye hollows. Results are immediate and, depending on the product and area, typically last from 6 months to 2 years.
Treatment time: Usually under 30 minutes
Downtime: None; most patients return to work the same day
Botox results: Begin in 3–5 days, full at about 2 weeks, last 3–4 months
Filler results: Immediate, lasting 6 months to 2 years
Adjustable: Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved if needed
Injectables address the most common signs of facial aging:
Injectables fit into a busy life: treatment takes minutes, there is no downtime, and results appear within days. Because doses and placement are fully customized, your provider can build results gradually, a little at a time, so changes look natural to you and to the people who know you best.
There is little to no recovery after injectables. Mild swelling, redness or small bruises at injection sites are the most common effects and usually resolve within a few hours to a few days. For the first 24 hours, avoid strenuous exercise and excessive sun exposure, and follow the aftercare instructions your provider gives you.
Fillers show results immediately, while Botox takes effect over several days and reaches its full result at about 2 weeks. Botox typically lasts 3–4 months and fillers from 6 months to 2 years, depending on the product and treatment area. Regular maintenance keeps your results consistent.
At Epic Plastic Surgery, the goal is natural refinement that enhances your features rather than changing them. Schedule a consultation to build a personalized injectable plan.
Dermal fillers show results immediately, with subtle settling as any swelling fades over a few days. Botox begins working in 3–5 days and reaches its full effect at about 2 weeks.
Botox typically lasts 3–4 months. Hyaluronic acid fillers last from about 6 months to 2 years, depending on the product, the area treated and your metabolism. Maintenance treatments keep results consistent.
Botox relaxes the muscles that cause expression lines, such as frown lines and crow's feet. Filler adds volume to restore cheeks, lips and deep folds. Botox prevents lines from forming; filler replaces what time has taken away. Many patients use both.
Most patients describe a brief pinch. A very fine needle is used, and numbing is available for sensitive areas such as the lips. No anesthesia or downtime is needed.
The most common side effects are mild redness, swelling or bruising at the injection sites, which usually resolve within a few days. Serious reactions are rare. Your injector reviews your medical history before treatment to confirm injectables are appropriate for you.
Yes, when treatment is planned conservatively. Doses and placement are customized to your anatomy, and results can be built gradually so you look refreshed rather than “done.”
Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved with an enzyme if an adjustment is needed. Botox wears off naturally over a few months, and your plan can be refined at your next visit.
Botox is priced by the number of units and filler by the number of syringes your plan requires, so the cost is confirmed at your consultation after your injector assesses your goals.
