Plan for 45 to 90 minutes for a filler visit, depending on how many areas you’re treating and whether you add a consult. Lumina is in Schiller Park with free on-site parking and easy drop-off, so you can arrive, park, and be inside quickly. Many Lombard clients drive via I-355 to I-290/I-294; rideshare or a short Metra-plus-ride option also work if you prefer not to drive. Traffic can affect travel time, so we suggest booking after-work slots outside peak commute hours when possible.

Bring photos of looks you like and any recent medical or filler history. Tell us about your daily routine, upcoming events, exercise habits, and any medications or supplements you take. Be clear about how subtle or dramatic you want the change. Our no-rush consultation will cover realistic expectations, product options, costs, and a personalized plan that fits your schedule and comfort level.

Bring a list of medications, any recent photos showing your aesthetic goals, and notes about previous cosmetic procedures. Your visit will start with a no-rush consultation to discuss goals and medical history, a facial assessment, and a treatment plan. Typical appointments for initial filler include mapping, consent, numbing and the injection itself and usually take 45 to 90 minutes. We review aftercare and schedule a follow-up or touch-up if needed.

Mild swelling is common in the first 24 to 72 hours and can take up to two weeks to fully settle; bruises, if they occur, often fade within 7 to 14 days. To reduce visible symptoms, avoid alcohol and blood-thinning supplements for several days before the appointment when safe to do so, use cold compresses right after treatment, sleep propped up the first night, and avoid vigorous exercise for 24 to 48 hours. If you have a specific event in Lombard, tell your provider at booking so we can plan timing and technique to minimize downtime.
