After Dermal Filler:

Avoid straining, heavy lifting, and vigorous exercise for 2-3 hours after your treatment.
It generally takes the filler approximately 24 hours to stabilize so it’s best to take things easy the day of. We don’t want to increase circulation to the treated area(s).
Avoid manipulation of the treated area(s) for 24 hours afterward.
Makeup is NOT recommended for 24 hours following injection.
Avoid direct sunlight for 24 hours.
No laser treatments in the treated area(s) for at least one week.
• You’ll find that applying ice to the treated area(s) intermittently for the next few hours is helpful at decreasing any discomfort and swelling.
• Avoid Retin-A, glycolic acid, and vitamin c for at least 24 hours around the treated area(s).
• Lumps and bumps caused by fluid accumulation in the area are possible after treatment and are generally a normal part of the healing process.
• After 3 days you may start to massage any lumps; this is best done nightly. If they do not resolve after 1-2 weeks with massage, contact the office for a follow-up appointment.
• Arnica oral tablets or topical gel may be applied as directed if you experience bruising. We offer both for sale t the Flawless Office though they can also be found at most drugstores.
