DERMAL FILLERS
Everything You Need To Know
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) dermal fillers are a natural substance that already exists in the human body and is used to provide volume and fulness to the skin. Dermal fillers help to restore our skin to its former youthful appearance. Dermal Fillers are injected into the skin in areas where it needs to be plumped up again and made to look firmer.

Pre-Treatment Advice
To prevent the risks of bruising from overstretching the skin during treatment, clients should avoid:
Taking Aspirin unless medically prescribed
Alcohol consumption 24 hours before treatment, after and on the day of the treatment
Avoid the use of vitamin E and products containing ginkgo extracts
Aftercare Instructions
Avoid touching the area for at least 6 hours. Then the area can be gently washed with soap and water. If the area is tender, apply some ice-covered cloth to the treatment site.
Drink lots of water as dermal filler holds 1000x its own weight in water and this will soften and settle the product
Do not engage in any strenuous exercise straight after the treatment (24 hours recommend)
Avoid the heat (hot baths showers, drinks) along with the sun as this will reduce the persistence of the product.
MASSAGE, MASSAGE, MASSAGE! The following day begins to massage the area using the technique shown by your practitioner to ensure no lumps form. If you do find any lumps, massage the area with firm pressure until the lump has softened and disappeared. Repeat this for up to a week.
Do not apply makeup or lipstick for a minimum of 8 hours – This can risk infection in the injected area.
No sunbeds for 3 days after treatment as this can breakdown the filler
Don’t apply any creams which contain alpha hydroxyl acids
Clients who have had cold sores in the past may experience a flare-up due to trauma to the lip
Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen and St Johns wart after the treatment as this thins the blood and increases bruising
Avoid flying for 24 hours
Avoid dental treatment for 24 hours
Cold compresses may be used after the treatment to reduce swelling and decrease soreness.
With cheek enhancement, avoid sleeping on your side as this can flatten the product. Following your treatment, the next day slightly nip the area to sculpt your cheeks. .
AAny concerns after the treatment, please don’t hesitate in contacting your practitioner where we will be happy to assist you.
