Dermal Filler Aftercare

​

1. Redness and swelling are normal. Bruising may also be visible. 

​

2. You may experience some tenderness at the treatment site(s) that can last for a few hours or a few days. 

​

3. Depending upon the area(s) treated and product(s) used, you may feel “firmness” in the treated area(s) for 1 to 2 weeks after treatment. Over time, the area(s) will soften and “settle”. 

​

4. Apply arnica gel as this helps reduce swelling and the potential for bruising. 

​

5. Do not wear make up for 6 hours after procedure 

​

6. AVOID placing excessive pressure on the treated area(s) for the first few hours and up to 2 to 3 days; when cleansing your face or applying makeup, be very gentle. 

​

7. AVOID exercise or strenuous activities for the remainder of the treatment day; you may resume other normal activities/routines immediately. 

​

8. You may take paracetamol if you experience any mild tenderness or discomfort if these are not contraindicated for you. 

​

9. AVOID extended UV exposure until any redness/swelling has subsided. You may wish to apply an SPF 50 or similar sunscreen. 

​

10. Wait a minimum of six weeks (or as directed by your provider) before receiving any skin care or laser treatments.
