Facial fillers take less than an hour to be injected without any downtime. They are a magic for your skin: giving a lift to your eyebrows, erase dark circles, plump your thin lips, smoothen your smile lines, enhance your cheekbones, streamline your jaw lines, and as a result, you appear more relaxed, youthful, and rejuvenated. Though side effects are minor, mild bruising, redness, swelling, and a little discomfort are just a few of them to name that might occur after the treatment and get resolved within a few minutes to hours. These treatments are temporary and do not last forever. That said, the type of fillers and procedures used determines the lasting effects varying from six months to one year.
