Botox typically lasts 3–6 months, while fillers can last up to 1–2 years depending on type and area.

Most treatments have little to no downtime, allowing return to daily activities within the same day or next.

Yes, when performed by qualified dermatologists, these procedures are clinically proven and safe.

While they may not be completely erased, treatments significantly reduce their appearance and prevent new ones.

There is no fixed age threshold, but most dermatologists agree that preventive treatment in your late twenties to early thirties delivers the best long-term results. At this stage, collagen production is beginning to slow and early dynamic lines are appearing during expressions.

Duration varies by treatment type. Neuromodulators such as botulinum toxin last three to four months before muscle activity gradually returns. Hyaluronic acid fillers maintain their effect for twelve to eighteen months depending on the product and placement site.

Poor outcomes usually result from excessive product placement or inappropriate treatment selection, not from the treatments themselves. At Claire Derma, our dermatologists follow a conservative approach — starting with smaller quantities and building gradually at follow-up visits. We use precise injection techniques, including cannula placement for fillers, that preserve natural facial movement and proportions. The goal is always to look refreshed rather than altered.

Downtime depends on the specific procedure. Neuromodulator injections and dermal fillers require virtually no recovery — mild swelling or bruising may appear but typically resolves within 24 to 48 hours. Microneedling causes redness lasting one to three days.
