Dermal filler care instructions
What to know before your treatment and how to care for your skin afterward.
Dermal filler pre-care instructions
Schedule at least 2-4 weeks prior to a special event in case of bruising or swelling.
Skip that glass of wine or opt for mocktails the day before to minimize bruising.
Avoid blood-thinning medications like aspirin, which can also lead to bruising so stop those at least 2 days before treatment, unless directed by your doctor.
Avoid supplements with essential fatty acids like fish oil at least 2 days before treatment to help minimize bruising.
Wait at least 4 weeks after any medical injections, vaccines, or dental procedures before your filler appointment.
Dermal filler post-care instructions
Stay upright for the first 6 hours and avoid touching the areas treated. This prevents the filler from migrating.
Take a rest from the gym for the next 2 days. Intense workouts and saunas can also cause the filler to migrate.
Wait at least 4 weeks before getting any medical injections, vaccines, or dental procedures.
Skip that glass of wine or opt for mocktails for 5-7 days.
Avoid facials or any laser treatments for 2-4 weeks.
Apply an ice pack or cold compress to the injection area to help reduce swelling. Ice 3-4 times to the treated area for 5 minutes each time the day of and morning after treatment.
Feeling firmness in your injection area is normal for the first few days and will soften over time.
Apply makeup gently, avoiding strenuous rubbing of the injection area.
