General Recommendations:
If you have previously suffered from facial cold sores, there is a risk that the needle punctures could contribute to another eruption of cold sores. Please let your nurse injector know if you are prone.
Do not use dermal fillers if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, are allergic to any ingredients, or suffer from neurological disorders. Please let us know if you have any questions prior to your treatment.
The day of treatment:
Arrive at the office with a “clean face” (washed and without makeup).
In order to maximize your comfort during treatment, a topical anesthetic may be applied.
Apply an ice pack and Arnica topically (Arnica +Bromelian tablets are both natural supplements to reduce bruising . These are available for purchase at our office.
Avoid itching, massaging, or picking around the injection site. Swelling is normal and generally disappears within a few hours to a few days. If these symptoms last more than 3 days please contact our office.
6-12 hours after treatment: Until the swelling and redness have resolved, avoid intense heat in the treated area(s). This incudes sunbathing, tanning, saunas, hot tubs, or hot wax.
To help alleviate swelling, we recommend an antihistamine during the day such as Zyrtec or Claritin, and Benadryl at night.
If there is a visible bump, you can massage the area. Depending on the areas treated and the product used, you may feel “firmness.” These areas will soften and settle with time (up to 2 weeks). Sunscreen and makeup can be applied, and you may use a gentle cleanser on the area.
Avoid drinking alcohol or partaking in strenuous exercise, as it may result in additional bruising.
To help alleviate bruising, we recommend taking Arnica, eating fresh pineapple and applying ice to the area.
PLEASE CONTACT US IMMEDIATELY IF YOU:
Have fever and/or chills.
Have discolored blotches in areas not injected.
Have blanching of injected areas.
Notice the area appears red and/or hot to the touch.
Have sever or increasing pain.
