WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOUR TREATMENT

PRE:

  • Maintain an upright position for 4 hours. Avoid bending over, lying down, and all horizontal activity.

  • Avoid makeup application for 4 hours, gentle application thereafter.

  •  

POST:

  • The most typical side effects (bruising, swelling, redness) are temporary and will resolve. However, please call us if you experience any additional side effects.

  • Take Tylenol (Acetaminophen) for discomfort.

  • You may apply a cool compress for 15 minutes each hour for swelling. 

  • Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours.

  • Avoid extensive sun or heat for 72 hours.

  • Avoid consuming excess amounts of alcohol or salts to avoid excessive swelling and bruising.

  • Avoid significant movement and massage of the treated areas. However, if there is a visible lump, you may gently massage the area. 

  • The treated areas may feel firm but will soften and settle with time, usually in a few weeks. 

  • You should sleep face up with your head slightly elevated.

  • You may take Arnica and use Arnicare gel/cream for bruising and swelling. These products can be found at the pharmacy.

  • Pineapple can help reduce the duration and severity of bruising. It contains an enzyme called Bromelain, which is found in the juice and stem of the fruit.

  • Wait a minimum of four weeks before skin care or laser treatments.

  • If you had injections around your mouth you should avoid dental procedures/cleaning for 2 weeks.

  • If you had injections around your mouth and you develop a cold sore, you should take an antiviral medication.

  • Dermal filler results are not permanent. Everyone metabolizes fillers differently and there are no guarantees how long they will last.
