Dermal fillers are a versatile, non-surgical solution designed to restore volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial contours, giving you a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance. Made from biocompatible substances like Hyaluronic Acid, Calcium Hydroxylapatite, or Poly-L-lactic Acid, dermal fillers work by filling in areas of volume loss and softening facial lines, helping you achieve a more youthful and natural look. However, as you age your body looses the capability to produce enough hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin to maintain youthfulness. Dermal fillers helps increase the production of collagen thus replenish any volume loss. During the initial assessment and consultation the practitioner will select the right product for you to ensure that you receive the results you’ve been waiting for.

Providing detailed post care instructions.
To ensure optimal results and minimize the risk of complications before your dermal fillers appointment, please follow these pre-treatment instructions. Avoid taking any blood-thinning medications or supplements, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, vitamin E, and fish oil, for at least a week before your treatment, as these can increase the likelihood of bruising and bleeding. If you are on prescription blood thinners, consult your healthcare provider before discontinuing them. Limit alcohol consumption for 24 hours prior to your appointment, as alcohol can also contribute to bruising. Additionally, avoid using skincare products that can irritate the skin, such as retinoids, glycolic acid, and exfoliating scrubs, for a few days leading up to your treatment. If you have a history of cold sores or herpes simplex virus (HSV) in the area to be treated, inform us, as a prophylactic antiviral medication may be recommended.
On the day of your dermal fillers treatment, it’s important to follow these instructions to ensure a smooth and successful experience. Start by arriving with a clean face, free of makeup, moisturizers, or any skincare products to reduce the risk of infection and ensure accurate treatment application. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, as proper hydration can improve skin elasticity and aid in the healing process post-treatment. Wear comfortable, loosefitting clothing, especially if you are receiving treatment in areas like the neck or jawline that require easy access. It’s also a good idea to eat a light meal before your appointment to prevent lightheadedness, particularly if you tend to feel faint during medical procedures. Avoid strenuous activity before your appointment, as increased circulation can lead to more bruising or swelling afterward. Plan for a relaxing recovery period by not scheduling any major events or important meetings immediately after your treatment, allowing time for any redness or swelling to subside. Lastly, make sure to arrive on time for your appointment to complete any necessary paperwork or consultations, giving you ample opportunity to discuss any last-minute concerns or questions with your provider. By adhering to these guidelines, you’ll be well-prepared for your dermal fillers session and positioned to achieve the best possible results.
Proper post-care is crucial to ensure the best results from your dermal fillers treatment and minimize potential side effects. After the procedure, you may experience mild swelling, redness, bruising, or tenderness in the treated areas, which usually subsides within a few days. To manage these symptoms, apply a cold compress to the area in short intervals, avoiding direct ice contact. Refrain from touching, pressing, or massaging the treated areas for at least 24 hours to allow the filler to settle properly. Avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, and activities that increase blood flow to the face for 24-48 hours, as these can worsen swelling and bruising. Sleep on your back with your head elevated for the first few nights to reduce swelling and prevent pressure on the treated areas. Additionally, avoid excessive heat exposure, such as saunas, hot tubs, and direct sun, for at least 48 hours, as heat can increase swelling and affect the filler’s results. Delay facials, chemical peels, or other skin treatments for at least two weeks to allow your skin to heal fully and the filler to stabilize. Staying well-hydrated and maintaining a balanced diet will support your body’s healing process. If you experience severe pain, unusual symptoms, or signs of infection like excessive redness, warmth, or pus at the injection site, contact your provider immediately. Follow-up appointments may be recommended to assess your results and make any necessary adjustments. By following these post-care instructions, you’ll help ensure a smooth recovery and long-lasting, beautiful results from your dermal fillers treatment.
