Our Liquid Beauty staff strives for excellence in providing the highest quality of care and to make your experience exclusive and second to none. We have compiled a list of our favorite tips that will help you maximize your savings, prepare for your Liquid Beauty visit, and understand our aftercare procedures.
We want to help you feel at ease, build a trusting confidence with our expertise, listen to your concerns, address your aesthetic questions and provide professional advice on achieving your aesthetic enhancement goals. Our providers will provide you a comprehensive evaluation and aim to enhance your unique and natural beauty by providing you with an individualized procedure treatment plan. We will ensure your privacy and safety, while making sure you leave the consultation feeling confident and informed about your options.
A consultation is the essential first step in your desire to refine, restore or enhance your appearance. Our free consultations are for 15 minutes only. If you feel like you need more time, and/or want treatment same day, please let our office know so that we can allocate more time for you. For appointments longer than 15 minutes, we require a booking fee of $100, which is refundable with a 48 hour cancellation notice, or is applied towards your treatment.
Photographs are an important part of your patient record and also serve as a reference throughout the course of your care. You will sign a specific consent for photographs that allows you to elect whether those photographs remain a fully private part of your patient record, or whether you will allow Liquid Beauty to use these for educational and marketing purposes. Your photographs are NEVER disclosed without your consent. We also retake your photos every 2-3 years to track your progress. Please keep makeup to a minimum so we can better evaluate your natural appearance.
Results usually take 3 days to 2 weeks to be take effect.
Botox will not erase deep etched in lines, it will only soften them, but it takes consistent treatment of Botox (every 4 months) for this to happen. Certain areas should not be treated with too much neuromodulator because the result will be unnatural.
It typically will last about 3-4 months, depending on the individual. Factors that influence how long it lasts include amount of Botox used, history of Botox usage, and lifestyle factors.
Results typically take 3-4 days to show up, but sometimes it can take a full 2 weeks. It can be different every time so don’t panic if you don’t see it kicking in as fast as it usually does for you! Please refrain from calling us until you have given it 2 weeks. By doing a touch up too early, you run the risk of over treating the area.
The #1 area that requires fine-tuning with neuromodulator is the forehead. Why? Because everyone’s forehead is different, and how sensitive your response to neuromodulators will determine the dose and placement. In general, we cannot inject in the area close to the brows because it will cause brow ptosis. That being said, there are people who can be injected very close to the brow and don’t experience any brow drooping. And there are others who despite being injecting higher up on the forehead, they still experience brow drooping. The forehead is a tricky area that requires artistry, a little bit of controlled experimentation, and your honest feedback so that we can learn what dosage and injection pattern works best for you.
Of course! However, please be aware that Botox and Dysport results are dose dependent. Baby doses will have a softening effect only, you will still have movement and lines, and the results won’t last as long. You will need a higher dose if you want a lifting effect and/or deep lines to disappear.
It is normal to have redness and bumps on the treated areas right afterwards. Don’t worry, these will go away in 20 minutes. It is always possible to get bruising, but this is usually minimal.
It really depends on where it was injected, how much filler was injected, how long you have been getting fillers, and how fast your body breaks it down. In general, fillers are approve to last up to 1 year. We have seen it last several years. Areas with a lot of movement break down faster. If you have been doing fillers for years and therefore have a buildup of product, you will find that fillers last you longer. Your results will gradually diminish over time as your body breaks down the filler.
It is normal to feel the filler right after injection. Sometimes patients will mistake feeling the filler as bumps. Be patient, the filler will settle with time and integrate into the tissue. Occasionally, a visible bump may appear. We advise you to press the bump firmly between two fingers to help it settle in. You may do this several times a day, The bump will usually resolve within 2-3 weeks. If it does not, please schedule a follow-up appointment so we can dissolve the bump with a medication.
What you see right afterwards is product + swelling. What you see in 2 weeks is what was actually put in. The product did not “go away” fast, it’s just the swelling that went away.
In general, 1 syringe is enough for lips to be a little plumper, but not enough to make lips noticeably larger in photos. This requires 2+ syringes. People with smaller lips may see a noticeable difference with a half syringe. Larger lips actually require more product in order to see a difference because there is more surface area to fill.
We cannot change the lip shape much. Lips can be made bigger, and certain lip characteristics can be accentuated. But your lip shape is what you are born with, and we cannot make the lip skin move to give you a different shape. Most people have a natural asymmetry to their lips, we make the asymmetries appear better, but we cannot 100% make your lips perfectly symmetrical.
Your Liquid Beauty provider will listen to your concerns and explore what kind of lip enhancement you are looking for, and give you appropriate options to choose from. The fuller your lips are naturally, the more product you will need, and a more robust filler will be recommended to give you a more noticeable result. If you have thin lips, we will recommend a softer filler so that your lips look natural.
Although it’s rare for a patient to not like their new look, it’s understandable when you begin to experiment with changing your appearance that you may decide fillers are not for you. Hyaluronic acid fillers are reversible, but we advise you to try to wait at least 2 weeks for the filler to settle.
The lips swell the most the first few days. This is completely normal. It will normally be bigger
in the morning upon awakening because everything has pooled while you were laying down
all night long. After going about your day, the swelling will improve as gravity helps pull the
swelling down. The possibility of having an allergic reaction to Juvederm is very rare, but if
you are having difficulty breathing call 911 immediately.
