POST-TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS FOR DERMAL FILLERS

AFTER TREATMENT AVOID THE FOLLOWING:

  • Keep hair away from the treated area for several hours and avoid touching the skin

  • No cosmetics (especially lipstick post lip enhancement) for 24 hours. All implements to apply makeup should be very clean prior to use

  • No dental procedures for two weeks pre and post-injection

  • Treatment areas should not be re-injected within two weeks of the initial procedure.

  • Avoid exercise for 24 hours

  • Avoid extreme heat such as lasers, saunas, hot tubs, and tanning for two weeks

  • Avoid sleeping directly on your face or applying pressure to areas injected

  • Treatment should not be undertaken if you are ill or have recently received a vaccine

WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER TREATMENT:

  • Immediately after treatment, there may be slight redness, swelling, asymmetry, tenderness, and itching in the treated area. This is a normal result of the injection and generally disappears in a few days. If it continues or other reactions occur please contact me.

  • Filler may feel firm to the touch and will soften and settle within two weeks. If there is a visible bump you can gently massage the area. If the bump remains after 2 weeks or appears many weeks after treatment please contact me to be reassessed.

  • If you have a history of cold sores there is a possibility the needle punctures could contribute to an outbreak. A prescription can be provided if required.

  • Bruising is a common occurrence from injectable fillers, particularly the lips. Please keep in mind your social events when booking your appointment. Bruising generally takes 7-10 days to resolve. Arnica and cool compresses may be helpful. Blood thinners, anti-inflammatories, aspirin, ibuprofen, certain vitamins, and alcohol increase your risk of bruising

  • Please contact me immediately if you experience severe pain or increasing pain, blisters, red, hot, and inflamed skin, discolored blotches in areas not injected, or blanching (white) of injected areas.
