During And Immediately After Treatment

​

• Volumizing filler is injected into the skin to soften wrinkles or folds by adding volume

​​

• Most patients report a mild discomfort typically associated with needle injections. Bruising at the injection site is a commonly reported side effect.

​​

• To help minimize bruising, inform your provider if you use blood thinners such as ibuprofen, aspirin or herbal supplements such as Vitamin E, fish oil, or excessive alcohol use

​​

• You may temporarily experience minimal to moderate swelling following treatment. This should dissipate following injection. Please contact our office if swelling persists.

​​

• It is normal to experience some tenderness at the treatment site for a few days

​​

• It may be normal to feel a "firmness" in your treated area for the first few days after treatment, and then soften and settle, leaving you with a soft, natural looking result.

Post Treatment

​

• Application of ice pack to the injection area after treatment may help to reduce bruising and swelling. Do Not apply more than 10 minutes at a time.

​​

• Do Not rub or massage the treated area

​

• Avoid strenuous exercise or activity for 24 hours. You may resume other normal activities and routines immediately.

​​
