How it works
Dermal fillers are a soft tissue filler injected into the skin at different depths to help fill in facial wrinkles, provide facial volume, and augment facial features restoring a smoother appearance. Most of these wrinkle fillers are temporary because they are eventually absorbed by the body.
What to expect
An appointment for injectable filler is fairly quick, usually about an hour to one and a half hours. One hour prior to your injection, a topical numbing cream will be applied to the area to lessen discomfort.
After filler appointment we advise you to AVOID the following:
● Avoid significant movement or massage of the treated area. Unless instructed by your esthetician.
● Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours.
● Avoid extensive sun or heat for 72 hours.
● Avoid consuming excess amounts of alcohol or salts to avoid excess swelling.
● If you have swelling you may apply a cool compress for 15 minutes each hour.
Prior to your filler appointment, please AVOID the following otherwise indicated by your esthetician:
● Do NOT consume alcoholic beverages at least 24 hours prior to treatment
● Avoid anti-inflammatory/ blood thinning medications, if possible, for a period of 2 weeks before treatment
● Schedule your Dermal Filler appointment at least 2 weeks prior to a special event which you may be attending, such as a wedding or a vacation.Bruising and swelling may be apparent in that time period.
● Discontinue Retin- A 2 days after treatment.
● Reschedule your appointment at least 24 hours in advance if you have a rash, cold sore or blemish on the area.
● If you have a history of cold sores please let your aesthetician know, they may put you on an antiviral education prior to treatment.

Dermal Filler Pre- and Post- Care Instruction
Prior to your filler appointment, please avoid the following otherwise indicated by your technician:
Do NOT consume alcoholic beverages at least 24 hours prior to treatment (alcohol may thin the
blood and increase the risk of bruising)
Avoid anti-inflammatory/blood thinning medications, if possible, for a period of 2 weeks before
treatment. Medications and supplements such as aspirin, vitamin E, ginkgo biloba, ginseng, St.
John's Wort, Omega 3/Fish Oil supplements, Ibuprofen, Motrin, Advil, Aleve and other NSAIDS
have a blood thinning effect and can increase the risk of bruising and swelling after injections.
Schedule your Dermal Filler appointment at least 2 weeks prior to a special event which you
may be attending, such as a wedding or a vacation. Also bruising and swelling may be apparent
in that time period.
Discontinue Retin-A 2 days before and 2 days after treatment.
Reschedule your appointment at least 24 hours in advance if you have a rash, cold sore or
blemish on the area.
If you have a history of cold sores please let your provider know, they may put you on an anti-
viral medication prior to treatment.
You are not a candidate if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
*Taking an Arnica Montana oral supplement several days prior to your filler appointment can reduce the
risk of bruising and can be found at any pharmacy.
After your filler appointment:
Avoid significant movement or massage of the treated area. Unless instructed by the provider
(see below).
Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours.
Avoid extensive sun or heat for 72 hours.
Avoid consuming excess amounts of alcohol or salts to avoid excess swelling.
If you have swelling you may apply a cool compress for 15 minutes each hour.
Use Tylenol for discomfort. Do not use ibuprofen as it may increase the risk of bruising.
Try to sleep face up and slightly elevated if you experience swelling.
Please take note of the following:
1.
Bruising and Swelling - recovering from fillers usually is extremely easy. Most people have
minimal to no bruising and can resume normal activity immediately. Occasionally, someone
gets unlucky and gets more bruising. Although disappointing, it is important to understand it
will not affect the results of the filler. It just takes time for the bruising to resolve. Makeup can
be used to hide the bruising following these procedures.
2. Redness, Welts, and Itching - minor redness or welts can occur after filler injections. Sometimes
it will cause itchiness as well. This is normal and please do not worry. Benadryl is
recommended for this problem and symptoms.
3. Lumps or Bumps - this sounds scary but is common. Most lumps are just fluid or some bruising
from the injection and will get better quickly. If you feel lumpy spots, push on the spot with
continual pressure for about 2 min. Repeat this 4-5 times a day. This is called "massage" and
helps resolve bruising, swelling, or any lumpiness. In extremely rare cases, a product can be
used to dissolve the hyaluronic acid in fillers. This is also easy and works great. It is not very
common to need this after cosmetic facial fillers. Once again, please only do so as indicated by
your injector.
4. Results - It is extremely important to have realistic expectations with the results of fillers. Most
patients are extremely happy with fillers for cheeks, fillers for lips, fillers for folds, and other
facial filler uses. However, fillers do not "get rid" of your wrinkles. Patient should expect
"significant improvement" not complete wrinkle removal. If the patient doesn't get the results
they want, often the answer is more filler.
