Question 1

How do Botox, Jeuveau, and dermal fillers work?

Accepted Answer

Injectable treatments address different aspects of facial aging, which is why choosing the right treatment starts with understanding what's actually causing your concern.Neuromodulators like Botox and Jeuveau temporarily relax targeted facial muscles to soften expression lines, including forehead wrinkles, frown lines, and crow's feet. Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers work differently, adding structure, restoring volume, or refining facial contours.At Anti-Aging Centers of Connecticut, we take a personalized, anatomy-driven approach. Our goal isn't to change your face, but to understand it — and recommend only what makes sense for your features, goals, and long-term results.

Question 2

What should I expect during my injectable appointment?

Accepted Answer

Your appointment begins with a conversation, not a syringe. We'll review your goals, medical history, previous treatments, and facial anatomy before recommending a treatment plan.Your provider will explain the products being used, the areas being treated, and what you can realistically expect. Injections are administered with fine needles or cannulas, depending on the treatment, with comfort measures available when appropriate.Most appointments take approximately 15–60 minutes, depending on the treatment. We prioritize precision, safety, and thoughtful placement over rushing through an appointment.

Question 3

How long do Botox, Jeuveau, and dermal fillers last?

Accepted Answer

Injectable results aren't one-size-fits-all, and neither are their timelines.Botox and Jeuveau generally last around 3–4 months, although individual results vary based on muscle activity, dosing, and metabolism. Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers may provide visible results for approximately 6–18 months or longer, depending on the product, treatment area, and individual factors.We believe in maintenance with intention. Rather than automatically repeating treatments on a rigid schedule, we'll help you evaluate when additional treatment is appropriate to maintain natural-looking, balanced results.

Question 4

Are Botox, Jeuveau, and dermal fillers safe? What are the risks?

Accepted Answer

Injectable treatments have established safety profiles when performed by appropriately trained medical professionals, but no medical procedure is entirely without risk.Common temporary effects include redness, tenderness, swelling, and bruising. Neuromodulators can occasionally cause unwanted muscle weakness or eyelid or brow drooping. Dermal fillers carry additional risks, including lumps, infection, and rare but serious vascular complications that can damage tissue or affect vision.At AAC, safety is never an afterthought. Our providers consider facial anatomy, medical history, appropriate product selection, and conservative treatment planning. We'll discuss potential risks, expected outcomes, and when treatment may not be the right choice before proceeding.

Question 5

How soon will I see results from Botox or filler?

Accepted Answer

Not all injectable results happen overnight, and knowing the difference helps set realistic expectations.Botox and Jeuveau typically begin producing visible changes within several days, with full results generally assessed around 10–14 days after treatment.Hyaluronic acid fillers create an immediate visible change, but that initial appearance isn't necessarily your final result. Swelling, particularly in areas like the lips, can temporarily exaggerate volume or create unevenness. We generally allow approximately two weeks for initial swelling to settle before evaluating the result, although healing varies.Good results deserve a little patience.

Question 6

How should I prepare for Botox or dermal filler injections?

Accepted Answer

A little preparation can help make your injectable appointment more comfortable and reduce avoidable bruising.Arrive with clean skin when possible, stay hydrated, and let your provider know about any medications, supplements, allergies, recent dental work, previous filler, or relevant medical conditions. Alcohol and certain medications or supplements may increase bruising risk.Never discontinue prescribed medications, including blood thinners, without guidance from the clinician who prescribed them. If you're experiencing an active infection, cold sore, or other health concern, contact us before your appointment.We'll provide personalized pre-treatment guidance based on the injectable and area being treated.

Question 7

Can Botox and fillers be combined with other skin treatments?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely — when appropriately planned. In fact, some of the most balanced aesthetic results come from addressing multiple aspects of facial aging rather than relying on one treatment to do everything.Botox and Jeuveau address muscle-driven expression lines, while fillers can restore or refine facial volume. Treatments like microneedling, laser resurfacing, and professional skincare address different concerns, including texture, pigmentation, and overall skin quality.Our philosophy is simple: the right treatment for the right concern, at the right time. We'll help determine which treatments complement one another, how to sequence them safely, and whether combining them is actually necessary for your goals.

Question 8

Is there downtime after Botox, Jeuveau, or dermal fillers?

Accepted Answer

Most injectable treatments involve little disruption to your routine, but minimal downtime doesn't mean zero recovery.After Botox or Jeuveau, small injection-site bumps or redness often resolve quickly, while occasional bruising may last several days.Dermal fillers typically involve more noticeable swelling or tenderness, especially around the lips. Most initial swelling and bruising improves within several days to two weeks, although some areas may take longer to fully settle.Your provider will review treatment-specific aftercare, including any temporary restrictions on exercise, pressure, or other activities. If you're preparing for a wedding, vacation, or special event, we recommend planning ahead rather than scheduling injectables at the last minute.

Question 9

Will Botox or dermal fillers make me look unnatural?

Accepted Answer

Not when treatments are thoughtfully planned and appropriately performed.The overfilled or frozen appearance many people worry about is often associated with excessive product, inappropriate placement, or treatment decisions that don't respect individual facial anatomy.At AAC, we're intentionally anti-overfilled and anti-cookie cutter. We believe your expressions, proportions, and natural features are worth preserving. Sometimes that means recommending less product, spacing treatments over time, or suggesting a different approach altogether.The goal is to look like yourself — not someone else's before-and-after photo.
