DERMAL FILLERS BEFORE TREATMENT

  • Avoid aspirin, if possible, for 1 week before treatment.
  • Avoid Alcohol and Ibuprofen for 2 days before treatment.
  • If possible come to your appointment with a cleanly washed face and no make-up.

DERMAL FILLERS AFTERCARE

  • Avoid touching the area for 6 hours after treatment and keep facial movements to a minimum.
  • Do not use make up for 6 hours unless it is mineral make up.
  • Avoid extremes of hot and cold for 72 hours although you can apply a cool compress if necessary.
  • Avoid facial massages or other skin treatments until the area has fully healed.
  • You may get some swelling and bruising and Arnica can be used as necessary to help reduce bruising.
  • If you have had a local nerve injection for the treatment avoid very hot or cold drinks and eating until sensation has returned to normal.
  • Gently pat skin dry after washing rather than rubbing with a towel.
