Frequently asked questions
What is treatment migration?
What is true treatment migration? A clinical guide to distinguishing real product movement from settling, swelling, and placement effects.
Is this a common concern after volume treatment?
Post volume treatment concerns vary widely between individuals. A clinical assessment is required to understand your specific situation and determine whether any intervention is needed.
When should I contact my practitioner?
If you notice changes that persist beyond expected settling periods (typically 2 to 4 weeks), distort facial contours, or are causing you concern, a consultation allows for assessment of what you are experiencing.
What can Core Aesthetics help with?
A consultation at Core Aesthetics begins with a thorough assessment. Not all post volume treatment concerns require treatment. The goal is understanding your situation and making an informed decision together.
Is it safe to have facial volume treatment while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Prescription injectable products are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. There is insufficient safety data on these products in pregnant or lactating individuals, and the precautionary standard is to defer treatment until after this period. If you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding, please discuss this at your consultation.
Why does facial volume treatment require an individual assessment rather than a standard dose?
Facial anatomy varies significantly between individuals in terms of fat pad position, bone structure, skin thickness and the degree of volume loss in each region. A standard dose applied without individual assessment risks over-correction, under-correction or placement that does not align with the underlying anatomy. Assessment-led dosing is the standard of care.
