Aftercare for Dermal Filler Treatments

To ensure the best results from your dermal filler treatment and minimize any potential side effects, please follow these aftercare guidelines:

FAQs About Dermal Fillers

1. What are dermal fillers made of?

Dermal fillers are primarily composed of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that retains moisture and adds volume to the skin. Some fillers may contain other substances, such as calcium hydroxylapatite or poly-L-lactic acid, which also help improve skin texture and volume.

2. How long do dermal fillers last?

The longevity of dermal fillers varies depending on the type of filler used and the area treated. Generally, results can last anywhere from 6 months to 12 months. Areas with more movement, like the lips, may require more frequent touch-ups.

3. Is the treatment painful?

Most clients report minimal discomfort during the treatment. Many fillers contain a local anaesthetic to help reduce pain. Additionally, topical numbing creams can be applied before the injections to enhance comfort.

4. What should I expect during the treatment?

The treatment typically takes about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the areas being treated. Your practitioner will first assess your needs and then carefully inject the filler into the targeted areas. You may notice immediate results, with full effects visible after any swelling subsides.

5. Are there any side effects?

Common side effects include redness, swelling, bruising, and tenderness at the injection sites. These effects are usually temporary and resolve within a few days. In rare cases, more serious side effects can occur, so it’s important to discuss your medical history with your practitioner.

6. How should I prepare for the treatment?

To prepare for your dermal filler treatment, avoid blood-thinning medications, alcohol, and excessive sun exposure for at least 24 hours prior. It’s also important to inform your practitioner about any allergies or previous reactions to dermal fillers.

7. What should I do after the treatment?

After the treatment, avoid touching or rubbing the treated areas for 24 hours. Refrain from strenuous exercise, excessive heat, or cold exposure for at least 48 hours. Detailed aftercare instructions will be provided by your practitioner.

8. Who is a good candidate for dermal fillers?

Most adults seeking to restore volume, enhance facial contours, or smooth out wrinkles are suitable candidates for dermal fillers. However, pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, those with certain medical conditions, or allergies to hyaluronic acid should consult with their practitioner before treatment.

9. What age do I need to be to receive dermal fillers?

You must be 18 years or older to receive dermal fillers, as this is a legal requirement. It’s important to ensure that you have fully developed facial features before undergoing any cosmetic treatment.

10. Can dermal fillers be reversed?

Yes, hyaluronic acid fillers can be reversed using an enzyme called hyaluronidase, which breaks down the filler if needed. It’s important to discuss any concerns with your practitioner beforehand.

11. Can I have both dermal fillers and Botox at the same time?

Yes, many clients choose to have both dermal fillers and Botox during the same appointment. While dermal fillers restore volume and enhance facial contours, Botox relaxes the muscles that cause wrinkles. Your practitioner will assess your needs and create a personalized treatment plan to achieve the best results.

12. How can I maintain my results?

To maintain your results, follow aftercare instructions, stay hydrated, and protect your skin from sun exposure. Regular follow-up treatments can also help sustain the desired look.
