Our FAQ

All of the dermal fillers we use include lidocaine to numb the area and reduce pain. While you may feel the sting of the needle initially, the pain subsides quickly. Your treated area might feel tender for a few days following your treatment.

Dermal fillers are ideal for plumping up and adding volume to the lips, cheeks, nasolabial folds, undereyes, chin, and jawline. We’ll recommend the ideal filler for you based on your target area and desired results.

This depends on the type of filler and how your body metabolizes the hyaluronic acid. Most of the fillers we use last for up to 12 months, but they may start to lose their volume a little earlier.

Not necessarily! While swelling and bruising are common temporary side effects, some of our clients don’t experience them at all.

Yes. Dermal filler can be dissolved with a simple injection of dissolver. That said, we still recommend you take your time to consider whether filler is right for you and how you’d like it to look. Constantly dissolving and re-injecting filler can lead to undesirable results.

Please avoid laser hair removal for at least two weeks before and after getting injectables.

Botox is extremely effective and popular for areas with wrinkles caused by muscle contractions. That includes lines between the eyebrows, forehead wrinkles, and crow’s feet.

The available injectables at SEV include Botox, Dysport, Juvederm Ultra XC, Restylane, Restylane Kysse, Juvederm Voluma, Juvederm Volbella, Kybella, and dissolver.

Juvéderm Voluma is one of the longest-lasting hyaluronic acid fillers on the market. Its results can last for up to 2 years, although this also varies from person to person. We recommend coming in after a year for a touch-up.

The results from Kybella are very long-lasting, even with weight gain. Once you achieve the results you want, you can expect them to last for years and decades to come.

No. Kybella is not considered a filler because it doesn’t add volume. Instead, it’s an injectable treatment that reduces the appearance of a double chin.

Restylane results can last up to 18 months, depending on the Restylane product, treatment area, and other factors.

Juvéderm Volbella is a long-lasting lip filler with results usually lasting for 9 to 12 months.

Morpheus8 is an incredible rejuvenating treatment that combines microneedling and radiofrequency. It transforms the skin on a very deep level, like a non-surgical facelift or body contouring treatment. It stimulates collagen production in the underlying layers of the dermis, to encourage a natural anti-aging process. Expect tighter, smoother skin and faded wrinkles! Morpheus8 is very unique as it can penetrate 4 mm deep, resulting in the coagulation of fat tissue, for a more contoured physique.

Morpheus8 is a complete face and body treatment. We most commonly perform it on the following body parts:

For best results, we normally recommend undergoing 1-5 Morpheus8 sessions. The precise number depends on your skin condition and goals. For best results, we highly recommend purchasing a package of 3 or more treatments. While you may only need a single session initially, we recommend coming in for maintenance treatments once you see your results starting to fade.

You will begin to see some improvement in your skin just a few days after your treatment. As time passes, your skin will continue to improve thanks to increased collagen production, with the most noticeable results showing around the 3-week mark. That said, you will probably continue to see improvement in your skin for 3 months after your treatment.

For best results, we recommend coming in for Morpheus8 treatments once every 4-6 weeks.

Fractionated radiofrequency is deeply-penetrating energy that heats the skin. It’s scientifically proven to reduce wrinkles, stimulate tissue constriction, and rebuild collagen, for firmer, younger-looking skin. The combination of fractionated radiofrequency and microneedling amplifies the power of both technologies, creating truly stunning results.

We recommend waiting at least 24-48 hours after your Morpheus8 treatment before applying makeup.

Although Morpheus8 uses needles, it's not usually painful. We will provide you with a topical numbing cream approximately 45-60 minutes prior to your treatment to ensure you’re as comfortable as possible.

Evolve is a non-invasive hands-free treatment for body contouring. Evolve has 3 modes: Tite for skin tightening, Trim for body contouring, and Tone for muscle toning. The device is designed to remodel the skin, treat adipose tissue (fat pockets) and activate muscles all in one platform.

Evolve can be done on almost every body part, but it’s most popular for the abdomen, arms, back of the legs, buttocks, and thighs.

Not at all! During your treatment you can just lie back and relax. We’ll make sure the applicators are comfortably positioned. At most, you may feel a slightly odd vibrating or pulsating sensation.

The Evolve system transmits energy via a system of applicators that are attached to the skin. The specific energy and mechanism of action is a little different depending on the treatment. Tite utilizes radio frequency to heat the lower levels of the dermis in a process called skin remodeling. It stimulates collagen production, which is essential for countering loss of tone and tightening the skin. Tite combines radiofrequency and vacuum, to heat fat tissue that is stored below the skin. It destroys the fat cells while remodeling the skin, for total body sculpting. Finally, Tone uses electricity to stimulate the muscles, causing them to contract repeatedly which improves definition.

You will see some results immediately after your first treatment. After your series of sessions is complete, you’ll keep on seeing improvement for up to 4 months after your last treatment. Once you’ve achieved maximal results, it’s important to maintain them with exercise, great nutrition, and occasional touch-up sessions.

You will notice some results within just one treatment, but generally, we recommend coming in for at least 6 to 12 treatments for more dramatic body sculpting effects.
