After Care Instructions

  • Do not rub or massage the treated area for at least 1 hour after the treatment to avoid the spread of infection.
  • Wait one hour after treatment to apply cosmetics and other skin treatments.
  • Refrain from engaging in strenuous physical activities, such as intense workouts, for at least 24 hours. This can help prevent increased blood flow to the face.
  • Be gentle when cleansing, applying makeup or touching the face for 3 days following the treatment. 
  • Sleep elevated for 48 hours after the procedure. 

Additional Tips

  • If you experience any post-procedure swelling or discomfort, consider using cool compresses or ice on the treated areas. This can help soothe the skin and reduce inflammation.
  • Do not take any Aspirin products for 1 week following treatment. Use Tylenol for pain management instead.
  • The treated areas may feel firm after treatment but they will soften and settle over time.

Follow Up Appointment

  • This ensures we are able to see how you have responded to your treatment dosage and make any adjustments to the result at an additional cost. Alternatively, additional product may not be required.

Long-Term Care and Maintenance 

  • Follow-Up Appointments:
    • Attending scheduled follow-up appointments is important to assess results and discuss any concerns.
  • Additional Treatments:
    • Consistency with Hyaluronic Acid Filler treatments helps to maintain optimal results. It is also common to combine Hyaluronic Acid Filler with other treatments such as Botox® or Xeomin®, as this may provide a more comprehensive rejuvenation.
  • Lifestyle Factors:
    • The lasting effect of Hyaluronic Acid Filler is dependent on certain lifestyle factors. For example, smoking, alcohol, and stress decrease the effect, whereas staying hydrated and maintaining a balanced diet helps to optimize overall skin health.
  • Regular Skin Care Routine:
    • To optimize results, it is important to maintain a healthy skincare routine including cleansing, moisturizing, and sun protection. Ask us about our medical-grade skincare products selected by our dermatologist to suit your needs.
