AFTERCARE ADVICE FOR DERMAL FILLER INJECTIONS

• Immediately after treatment there may be slight redness, swelling and tenderness. You may also get itching. This is temporary and passes in a few days.

• Please apply an ice pack to the treated area – this helps to reduce swelling.

• Treatment near the lips may have swelling that lasts longer. This can last for about a week and lips may look uneven during this time.

• Please avoid touching injected areas for around 6 hours after treatment.

• Avoid washing with soap for 6 hours.

• Avoid applying make up to the area for 6 hours. After this light make up can be applied an washed off gently with soap and water.

• Until the initial swelling and redness has resolved please avoid intense heat or cold (sunbathing etc.)

• Avoid laser treatment, chemical peels or similar procedures as this may elicit an inflammatory reaction.

• If you have suffered from cold sores before – there is a possibility that treatment may contribute to another eruption of sores.

• If you take blood thinners (such as aspirin, anticoagulants etc) these may increase bruising and bleeding at injection sites.
