General Questions:
Q: What makes Reva different from other injectors in Las Vegas?
A: Reva brings a unique combination of credentials, experience, and artistic vision to every treatment. As both a registered nurse and board-certified facial specialist with over 20 years of experience, she offers unparalleled expertise in facial aesthetics. Known as Las Vegas’ celebrity injector, Reva’s meticulous technique and deep understanding of facial anatomy ensure natural-looking, harmonious results that enhance rather than alter your appearance.
Q: Do I need to prepare for my injectable treatment?
A: For optimal results and minimal bruising, we recommend avoiding blood-thinning medications and supplements (like aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E, fish oil, and alcohol) for 1-2 weeks before treatment, if medically appropriate. During your consultation, Reva will provide personalized pre-treatment instructions based on your specific health history and planned procedures.
Q: How long do appointments typically take?
A: Consultation appointments typically last 30-45 minutes, allowing ample time to discuss your goals and develop a personalized treatment plan. Treatment appointments vary depending on the procedures being performed: neurotoxin treatments usually take 15-30 minutes, while filler treatments typically require 30-60 minutes. We value your time and strive to maintain a punctual schedule.
Q: Is there downtime after injectable treatments?
A: Most injectable treatments have minimal downtime, allowing you to return to normal activities immediately. You may experience minor swelling, redness, or bruising at injection sites, which typically resolves within a few days. Specific treatments like Kybella may have slightly longer recovery periods. During your consultation, Reva will discuss what to expect based on your specific treatment plan.
Neurotoxin Questions:
Q: How long do neurotoxin results last?
A: Results from neurotoxin treatments (Botox, Dysport) typically last 3-4 months. Many clients find that with regular maintenance treatments, they may gradually need less product or enjoy longer-lasting results. Factors affecting longevity include metabolism, treatment areas, dosage, and muscle strength.
Q: Will I look "frozen" after neurotoxin treatment?
A: No. As Las Vegas’ premier celebrity injector with over 20 years of experience, Reva specializes in natural-looking results that preserve facial expressions while reducing wrinkles. Her precise technique and artistic approach ensure you look refreshed and rejuvenated, never frozen or overdone. You’ll still be able to show expressions naturally – just without the deep lines and wrinkles.
Q: How soon will I see results from neurotoxin treatment?
A: You may begin to notice results within 3-5 days, with full results developing by 14 days after treatment. For first-time clients, Reva often recommends a follow-up appointment at the 2-week mark to assess results and make any minor adjustments if needed.
Q: Are dermal filler injections painful?
A: Comfort is a priority at Ageless by Reva. Most dermal fillers contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic that minimizes discomfort during injection. Additionally, we use topical numbing cream and advanced techniques to ensure a comfortable experience. Most clients report only minimal discomfort during treatment.
Dermal Filler Questions:
Q: Are dermal filler injections painful?
A: Comfort is a priority at Ageless by Reva. Most dermal fillers contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic that minimizes discomfort during injection. Additionally, we use topical numbing cream and advanced techniques to ensure a comfortable experience. Most clients report only minimal discomfort during treatment.
Q: How long do dermal filler results last?
A: Longevity varies depending on the specific filler used, treatment area, and individual factors like metabolism. Generally: * Lip fillers: 6-12 months * Nasolabial folds and marionette lines: 12-18 months * Cheek and midface fillers: 18-24 months * Sculptra (collagen stimulator): up to 2 years Reva will discuss expected longevity for your specific treatment during your consultation.
Q: What if I don't like my filler results?
A: One of the advantages of hyaluronic acid fillers (like the Juvederm collection) is that they can be dissolved if needed using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. However, with Reva’s 20+ years of experience as Las Vegas’ celebrity injector, complications or dissatisfaction are extremely rare. We take a conservative approach, often starting with less product and adding more if desired at a follow-up appointment.
Kybella Questions:
Q: How many Kybella treatments will I need?
A: Most clients require 2-4 Kybella treatments to achieve optimal results for submental fullness (double chin) reduction.
Treatments are spaced 4-6 weeks apart to allow for proper healing and fat metabolism between sessions. During your consultation, Reva will assess your specific anatomy and goals to recommend the appropriate treatment plan.
Q: Is swelling common after Kybella treatment?
A: Yes, swelling is an expected side effect of Kybella treatment and actually indicates that the product is working to break down fat cells. Swelling typically peaks 24-48 hours after treatment and gradually subsides over the following days. Some clients may experience swelling for up to a week, particularly after initial treatments. Reva provides detailed aftercare instructions to help manage swelling and optimize your comfort.
Sculptra Questions:
Q: How is Sculptra different from other fillers?
A: Unlike traditional hyaluronic acid fillers that provide immediate volume, Sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid) works gradually by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production. Results develop over several months and can last up to two years. Sculptra addresses the underlying causes of facial aging rather than just the symptoms, providing progressive, natural-looking rejuvenation.
Q: Why does Sculptra require multiple treatments?
A: Sculptra works by gradually stimulating collagen production, which requires a series of treatments (typically three) spaced 4-6 weeks apart to achieve optimal results. This gradual approach ensures natural-looking volume restoration without sudden changes to your appearance. Many clients appreciate this subtle, progressive improvement that doesn’t signal to others that they’ve had “work done.”
