Dermal Filler

PRE-TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS

To ensure the best results and minimize any risks, please follow these guidelines before your dermal filler appointment:

  • Avoid blood thinners (e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E, fish oil, alcohol) for at least 3-5 days before your treatment to reduce the risk of bruising and swelling.

  • Stay hydrated leading up to your appointment, as hydrated skin responds better to treatment.

  • Avoid waxing, shaving, or using depilatory creams on the treatment area 24-48 hours prior to the procedure.

  • Avoid facial treatments, microdermabrasion, or laser treatments for at least 1 week before your filler treatment.

  • Inform us if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any active skin conditions (such as cold sores or eczema) in the area being treated.

  • No Botox or other injectables at least 2 weeks before the filler treatment.

POST-TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS

After your dermal filler treatment, following the correct aftercare is crucial for optimal results:

  • Do not massage, rub, or touch the treated area for at least 24 hours.

  • Avoid strenuous exercise or activities that may cause excessive sweating for 24-48 hours after your treatment.

  • No hot tubs, saunas, or excessive sun exposure for 2-3 days to avoid irritation or bruising.

  • Apply a cold compress to any areas of swelling or bruising to minimize discomfort.

  • Bruising and swelling are normal and should subside within 2-5 days.

  • Avoid alcohol for 24 hours after treatment, as it may increase the risk of bruising & swelling.

  • Makeup may be applied after 24 hours, but ensure the treated area is clean and free of irritation.

When to Expect Results: Results will be visible immediately, but the full effects of the filler will settle over the next 1-2 weeks.
