Neuromodulator & Fillers FAQ

They do different jobs. A neuromodulator relaxes the muscles that create movement wrinkles, like frown lines and crow's feet. Dermal fillers add volume: they restore fullness, smooth folds, and refine contours in areas like the cheeks, lips, and jawline. Many patients benefit from a combination, planned during consultation.

Neuromodulators are typically priced per unit, and the total depends on the areas treated and the units needed for your goals, which is why we confirm pricing during your consultation rather than quoting a flat rate. We'll give you a clear estimate before any treatment.

Fillers are generally priced per syringe (from $500 + tax per syringe at SKN MD). The number of syringes depends on the areas treated and your desired result, which we assess at your consultation.

Results typically begin within a few days, develop fully over 7–14 days, and last about 3–4 months. With regular treatment, some patients find results last a little longer over time.

Depending on the product and the area treated, hyaluronic acid fillers generally last 6 to 24 months before gradually being absorbed by the body.

Discomfort is usually minimal. Neuromodulator treatment involves tiny injections that most people tolerate easily. For fillers, we can apply a numbing cream, and many filler products contain a local anesthetic to keep you comfortable.

Very little. You can usually return to your day right away. Mild redness, swelling, or small bruises can occur, especially with fillers, and typically settle within a few days.

Both are well-established treatments with strong safety records when performed by a qualified professional. At SKN MD, treatments are medically directed, and we review your health history and any contraindications before proceeding.

Filler results are visible immediately and continue to settle over a few days. Neuromodulator results appear gradually, usually starting within a few days and reaching full effect around two weeks.

Hyaluronic-acid fillers can be dissolved with an enzyme (hyaluronidase) if needed, an important safety advantage. A neuromodulator isn't reversed, but its effect naturally wears off over a few months.

Most healthy adults are, but suitability depends on your health history, goals, and the area of concern. Certain conditions and pregnancy/breastfeeding are contraindications. A medical consultation is the best way to find out.

Injectables are medical treatments. At SKN MD, your treatment is planned with our medical direction and performed by experienced nurse injectors who assess your anatomy, manage dosing precisely and prioritize safety and natural looking results, with physician availability as required by the Collège des médecins du Québec.
