-
Am I a good candidate for dermal fillers?You should consider dermal fillers if you: Are concerned about moderate-to-deep lines between the nose and mouth. Wish you had plumper, fuller lips. Are facing age-related volume loss in cheeks. Desire natural-looking results without surgery.
-

-

-
Is there any downtime?After a filler treatment, you may face minor side effects like redness, swelling, and tenderness, at the injection site. You can treat them with a cold compress and expect them to disappear within 2 to 3 hours or a few days. You may also experience some bruising that will likely last anywhere between a few days and never more than two weeks. To resolve it faster, you can use Arnica Montana before treatment and/or take digestive enzyme. We also recommend you ice your treatment area for the initial 24 to 48 hours several times a day and apply a warm compress to the bruised area for the following 48 to 72 hours. In addition, it’s important that you massage your face after your injections for 5 days, 5x/day, for 5 minutes each time. If you don’t notice any lumps, however, skip the massage process. The day after treatment, refrain from exercise and rigorous activity! Fortunately, you can wash your face thoroughly and resume your daily responsibilities right away. Be to avoid UV exposure, massages, or facials for at least 1 week after treatment.
