• Exercise: Avoid exercise and activities for 24 hours after the procedure.

• Stay Upright: Avoid lying down for at least four hours after the treatment and sleep on your back to prevent the migration of the filler.

• No Alcohol: Avoid for 24 hours post-treatment to reduce swelling and the risk of bruising.

• Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help the filler settle evenly.

The downtime after Dermal Filler treatment is minimal, with most patients experiencing little to no downtime. Some may experience mild swelling or bruising at the injection sites, which typically resolves after 7-10 days.

If you are fortunate enough to not YET be struck down by the ageing game, then fillers may also be used for facial features which we feel are unbalanced, out of proportion or something that we are conscious of. Fillers can be used to enhance lips, noses or create cheek, chin and jawline definition.

Commonly fillers are made up of a sterile gel called hyaluronic acid (HA) which is naturally occurring in the body, but like everything else with age the production slows down.

We must see you for a consultation before filler treatments as often what your concerns relate to, is not necessarily the cause.

Also, not all patients are suitable for filler treatments or other treatments may be advisable before to ensure you get the best results possible.
