AFTERCARE
all you need to know for your treatment, before and after.
PLANNING AHEAD
Some small steps before treatment will reduce any aftercare required.
Avoid aspirin and Vitamin E supplements for a few days before the treatment as they cause blood thinning which can increase bruising.
Avoid any laser/heat treatments on areas of skin to be treated 2 weeks prior to your treatment.
Avoid topical prescription products, excessive sun exposure and sun beds 7 days prior.
Don't consume alcohol 24 hours before the procedure as this could lead to bleeding.
We recommend on the day of the treatment to not apply heavy makeup or use exfoliants or any active skin care products.
If you have any special events planned, we recommend to get fillers done at least a week before and give plenty time to settle.
SWELLING AND BRUISING
For Lip fillers, you will most likely be slightly swollen after your treatment. This is normal and will gradually go down on its own.
Most people can resume their daily activities shortly after the procedure.
In some cases, bruising may occur on the second day which can usually be concealed with makeup.
The majority of swelling and bruising is usually gone by day 5, but can last up to 7-14 days in some cases which is totally normal and nothing to be concerned about.
We recommend using Vaseline or Nivea Balm in the following days - a natural ointment commonly used to reduce any bruising.
