Fillers

A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE

Every client’s treatment plan is customized to enhance their own natural beauty!

Skin loses volume and elasticity as it ages. Lifting and plumping aging skin with fillers can provide a more natural and youthful look.

Dermal fillers also promote hydration of the injection area as well as restore volume to the skin and its underlying foundations.

Pre-care Instructions

  • Please arrive without makeup. If you are wearing makeup, it will have to be removed before your appointment.

  • You are NOT a candidate for the treatment if you are breastfeeding or pregnant. 

  • If you have a history of frequent cold sores (more than 3 per year), you will need to start an anti-viral medication one week prior to your treatment to prevent an outbreak. Please call the clinic if you need a prescription if you don't already have one. 

  • Reschedule your appointment if you have a cold sore or rash that appears beforehand.

  • To help avoid bruising, you can start taking Arnica tablets one week prior to your procedure. Please do so unless you are allergic or it is contraindicated with any medications/medical conditions you have – this may include high blood pressure. Arnica can be purchased at your local pharmacy or on Amazon. Please make sure to follow the directions on the label. If you do NOT your appointment will be rescheduled.

Post-care Instructions

  • To reduce your chances of bruising and swelling, please avoid blood-thinning medications, foods, and supplements (unless they are prescribed to treat a health condition) for a week before your appointment. Medications & supplements such as aspirin, vitamin E, ginkgo biloba, gingeng, St. Johns Worth, Omega 3/Fish Oil supplements, Ibuprofen, Motrin, Advil, Aleve, and other NSAIDS have a blood thinning effect.

  • If you may need a pain reliever within the next two weeks, please use Tylenol as it does not thin blood. Of course, please avoid Tylenol if it is contraindicated with any of your medical conditions or medications.

  • Please do not consume alcohol for at least three days before your visit. If you do please call and reschedule your appointment.

  • Make sure you don’t come in on an empty stomach! Especially if you easily get lightheaded or faint.

  • Hydrate adequately for a week prior to treatment, especially if you are being treated with dermal fillers. Fillers draw water to the surface and dehydration can minimize results!

  • For any injectable appointments, please do not plan any special events for at least one month after the treatment. There may be swelling and bruising for 1-2 weeks following your appointment, and it may take up to a month for tissue to ultimately settle.

  • If you are currently taking antibiotics or have in the last 2 weeks, please call to reschedule as we will be unable to perform this treatment.

  • Please ensure that you do not have any dental appointments two weeks before or after treatment.

  • If you have any autoimmune disorders or contraindications, please clear your procedure with your primary physician prior to your appointment.

    KEEP IN MIND...
    If you have had fillers previously (mostly applicable to lips):
    If we do not feel we can achieve results that meet our standards by injecting over your previous filler, we will require one or more dissolving sessions before the new filler is applied. There is a fee of $350+ for dissolving. 
    If requiring more than one session, they must be spaced out over multiple appointments to be effective. New filler cannot be injected the same day as the previous filler is dissolved (in the same area). Must wait at least 2 weeks before injecting filler into the dissolved area. 

NOTE: NO FILLERS WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF ANY VACCINE.

If you work in a healthcare setting that requires an N-95 or similar, tight-fitting mask, please know that wearing such masks is not recommended for 2 weeks after receiving under-eye, cheek, or jawline filler. If this will not work for you, please consider rescheduling

EMERGENCY: Please contact us immediately if you notice the following:

  • Severe pain and/or color change (pale/dusky/blotchiness) of skin anywhere on the face. Even if it's away from the area injected.

  • Increase in pain, discomfort, color change hours after injections. This should get better not worse.

  • Herpes 0r blister-like outbreak 24-72 hours after injections.

GENERAL POST CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
The treated area may be swollen, sore, bruised and/or lumpy/bumpy. Apply ice lightly to the areas injected, for 15 min each hour. Numbness from the lidocaine may persist for 1 to 2 hours. Avoid all medications/supplements/foods/alcohol (unless medically necessary) that were listed in the pre-care instructions until swelling and bruising have healed. If you experience a need for pain relief, please use Tylenol (unless it is contraindicated to a condition you have or medication you are taking). If you are experiencing bruising or swelling, please apply Arnica gel (this is an over-the-counter supplement that can be purchased at your local pharmacy) until bruising/swelling subsides, unless it is contraindicated with any of your medications/medical conditions.

  • Please allow 3 weeks for lips for the filler to fully settle prior to evaluating results.

  • Please reach out if you are in need of a follow-up/touchup following your filler injections.

  • Touchups are appropriate for lumps/bumps, asymmetry, or other side effects.

  • A desire for more volume in the treated area is NOT considered a touchup. You will need additional treatments to reach your aesthetic goals. 

  • Do NOT exercise for 24 hours after injections (heavy lifting, cardio, yoga, etc) .

  • Do NOT apply make-up for 24 hours after the procedure.

  • No facials, massages, exfoliating, and/or applying Clarisonic devices to the injected area(s) for 2 weeks.

  • After lip filler avoid massaging or manipulating the product. 

  • After lip filler the maximum amount we recommend per treatment session is .8 ml of filler for lips. This helps prevent lip distortion or losing the natural shape of the lips.
