Do’s And Don’ts Before + After Your Filler Treatment

*We advise not having filler around the time of the month as the injections tend to be more uncomfortable despite local anaesthetic and you’ll have more bleeding/bruising following the injections, during this time.

• Avoid blood thinning over-the-counter medications such as aspirin, Motrin, ibuprofen, and Aleve.
• Avoid supplements, primrose oil, garlic, ginseng, and Vitamin E.
• Avoid topical products such as Tretinoin (Retin-A), Retinol, Retinoids, Glycolic Acid, or any “anti-aging” products.
• Do not drink alcoholic beverages 24 hours prior.
• 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 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 keep in mind if you had your covid vaccine done and would like to book a lip filler, needs to be two weeks Pre and post, to avoid any adverse reactions to the COVID-19 vaccine.

  The Day Of Treatment  

*Make sure to eat up before your treatment to prevent faintness.

• Avoid alcohol, caffeine, spicy food, and cigarettes 24hrs before and after treatment. These items contribute to increased swelling and bruising.

• You may take a Tylenol an hour before your appointment for minimal discomfort.

• Arrive at the studio with no lipstick waterproof.

• In order to maximize your comfort during the procedure, a topical anesthetic will applied.

 What To Do After Fillers: 

• Apply an ice pack to reduce bruising.
• Take Tylenol (acetaminophen) to reduce pain as necessary.
• Avoid itching, massaging, or picking around the injection site. This is normal and generally disappears within a few hours to a few days.
• Avoid drinking alcohol or partaking in strenuous exercise, as it may result in additional bruising
