Dermal fillers contain lidocaine, an anesthetic that helps minimize discomfort. Some patients may experience a mild pinching sensation during the injections. To further reduce any discomfort, a topical numbing agent can also be applied before the procedure.

Dermal fillers require minimal downtime. You may experience some redness, bruising, swelling, tenderness, or itching around the injection sites immediately after the treatment, which typically resolves within a few days. It's advisable to avoid scheduling important events for a few days post-treatment.

Results from dermal filler treatments are visible immediately and continue to improve over 2-3 weeks. Depending on the type of filler and the area treated, results can last from 6 to 24 months.

Common side effects of dermal fillers include redness, swelling, bruising, and tenderness at the injection sites. These symptoms are usually mild and subside within a few days. In rare cases, more serious side effects like infection or filler migration may occur. Always consult with your practitioner for a thorough understanding of potential risks.

Before your appointment:

• Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin for a proper assessment.

• Avoid NSAIDs (Ibuprofen, Advil, etc.), fish oil, Gingko Biloba, St. John’s Wort, and high doses of Vitamin E for one week before treatment.

• Avoid Retin-A, Tretinoin, and retinoids for three days prior.

• Refrain from drinking alcohol for 24 hours before the injection.

• If you bruise easily, consider taking Arnica tablets one day before treatment.

• Clients who are pregnant or nursing are not eligible for dermal filler treatments.

• No makeup immediately after treatment.

• Avoid lying down for four hours post-procedure.
