Frequently Asked Questions

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a naturally occurring substance found in the skin, eyes, and joints. It helps retain moisture, keeping tissues plump and hydrated.

At Elya Aesthetics, we only use premium, CE-certified dermal filler brands such as Juvederm, Restylane, Teosyal, and Revolax.

The choice of product is tailored to each client — thinner fillers for lips and surface refinement, and denser ones for deeper contouring such as cheeks and chin.

Results typically last between 6 to 12 months, depending on the product used, area treated, and your individual metabolism and lifestyle.

Factors such as age, exercise level, and smoking can influence longevity.

Follow-up sessions every few months help maintain results and refine your aesthetic outcome.

Some swelling immediately after treatment can make results appear fuller. As the swelling subsides, the filler settles naturally and integrates into the tissue.

This does not mean the product has disappeared. In some cases, clients may require a second session to achieve the desired volume or definition, especially in areas like lips or cheeks.

We use Hyaluronic Acid–based fillers, which are biocompatible and fully reversible, making adverse reactions extremely rare.

Common, temporary side effects include mild swelling, redness, or bruising, which usually resolve within a few days.

Yes — most clients choose to have their consultation and treatment during the same visit. However, we’re happy to schedule a separate consultation first if you prefer time to consider your options.

That’s absolutely fine — we always begin with a detailed consultation with Miss Elya Gasanova. Together, you’ll discuss your goals, facial anatomy, and the most suitable treatment options to achieve a natural, balanced result.

Discomfort is minimal. A strong numbing cream is applied before treatment, and most fillers contain lidocaine for additional comfort. Clients often describe the sensation as mild and brief.

You may experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising for up to 1–14 days. Most swelling peaks within the first 24 hours and settles quickly.

Avoid exercise, saunas, and alcohol for 24–48 hours, and do not massage the treated area unless advised.

Full results are typically visible within two weeks.

At Elya Aesthetics, we focus on enhancing your natural features, not altering them. It’s important to view your treatment as an enhancement — not a complete change.

Some minor asymmetries are normal and part of every natural face. Results vary between individuals and are influenced by anatomy, metabolism, and lifestyle.

All clients must be 18 years or older at the time of treatment. We may ask for valid ID if you appear under 25.

Techniques vary depending on the area and desired results. Miss Elya Gasanova uses both needle and micro-cannula techniques to ensure precision, comfort, and minimal downtime. The best approach will be discussed during your consultation.

Hyaluronic Acid fillers are fully reversible. In the rare event that you are unhappy with your results, the product can be safely dissolved using hyaluronidase.

Your face will gradually return to its original state as the filler naturally dissolves. It does not make your skin sag or worsen your features once it fades.

It depends on your desired outcome and facial anatomy.

0.5ml is suitable for subtle definition or shape enhancement, while 1ml is better for visible volume and contouring. We rarely exceed 1–1.5ml per session to ensure natural tissue expansion and balance.

Botulinum toxin (commonly known as Botox or Azzalure) is a safe and effective treatment used to relax facial muscles, reducing dynamic wrinkles such as frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines. It creates a smoother, more refreshed appearance without affecting natural expression.

The procedure takes around 10–15 minutes and requires no anaesthetic, although a numbing cream can be applied. Small amounts of toxin are injected into specific muscles using fine needles. You can return to normal activities immediately afterward.

Some clients may experience minor bruising or swelling, which subsides within a few days. Avoid touching or massaging the area for several hours post-treatment to prevent the product from moving.

The effects typically last 3–6 months. To maintain smooth, youthful skin, we recommend regular maintenance sessions every few months.

Treatments are suitable for most healthy adults. A full medical consultation will be carried out before any procedure.

Treatment is not suitable during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or for individuals with certain neuromuscular conditions.
