Before the procedure, patients consult with a qualified professional to assess their needs. The provider then injects the filler into targeted areas such as: lips and lines around the mouth, providing immediate results with ongoing improvements as it settles.
It is advised to refrain from disturbing the treated area following a cosmetic procedure. Touching, rubbing, or applying pressure to the area can potentially displace the filler or lead to complications. Additionally, it is recommended to avoid dental procedures for the first two weeks post-treatment.
Similarly, intense physical activity should be minimized for the first 24-48 hours after the procedure. Vigorous exercise can increase blood flow, potentially causing the filler to move from the treatment area.
Common side effects such as mild swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection site can be alleviated by using a cold pack. It is suggested to avoid aspirin and alcohol, as they can exacerbate bruising.
Furthermore, exposure to sun and heat should be limited as they can worsen swelling or discomfort post-treatment. It is advisable to shield the treated area from the sun and use a high SPF sunscreen if necessary.
It is advisable to strictly follow the aftercare instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
