Dermal Fillers

Dermal Filler may usually last between 6 to 12 months, and up to 18 months.

Most patients find the procedure to be quite comfortable and easily tolerable. The results are immediate with minimal downtime and will vary from patient to patient.

After about six months, your body naturally breaks down hyaluronic acid fillers. You have to get touch-ups once or twice a year to maintain the look.

The treated area will feel different after your injections. It will likely seem fuller than usual due to the presence of the filler and post-treatment swelling

You may experience redness, bruising, bleeding or swelling.

For 12 hours post injection, it is highly advised not to use make-up.

For 3 days post injection avoid alcohol, air travel and strenuous exercise.

For 15 days following your injection, it is highly advised to avoid dental treatments, other aesthetic procedures of any type, sun exposure and extreme temperatures e.g. saunas, spas, swimming in heated pools

Bruising is not uncommon, however should there be a bruise present in an area of the face that has not been treated or any pain associated with bruising please contact the clinic.

If swelling or redness is present, apply a cold compress. If pain is associated with inflammation please contact the clinic.

To alleviate brusing apply an icepack 3 to 4 times per day in 10 minute increments. Continue to do this until swelling subsides. Apply arnica dream gently to the areas treated, available at your local pharmacy.

Avoid anti-inflammatory medications e.g. ibuprofen. If required, you can take Paracetamol.

Cheek are treated: Avoid having eyewear rest on your cheeks.

Sunscreen or gentle make-up can be applied gently to treated areas.
