This leaflet has been put together to provide you with advice following your treatment with fillers at the clinic today. Please keep hold of this and refer to it if you have any queries.

• After treatment, there may be some redness, tenderness, or swelling at the treatment site. This is a normal treatment response that will resolve itself within a few days.
• It is not unusual to experience bruising or swelling around the treatment site. This is short term and will subside within a few days.
• Bruising can be avoided or minimized by avoiding aspirin and alcohol for 24 hours pre & post treatment.
• Avoid wearing make-up post treatment for 12 hours.
• There is no need to massage the product area unless specifically instructed to do so.
• Do not expose the treated areas to intense heat (e.g. solarium, sauna) for at least 48 hours after treatment.
• Lip treatments generally take a little longer to settle and may feel tender and appear uneven. This will gradually resolve itself within the first week and will not affect the final result.
• If you have suffered from cold sores, the treatment may result in a fresh eruption of the virus. If this occurs you may use Zovirax cream or you may require a prescription of tablets to prevent this from occurring. This should have been discussed during your consultation.
• Rarely, there may be slight visibility of the dermal filler below the surface of the skin.
• Allergic responses to Dermal Filler treatments are rare, as is infection of the treated area. However, if you experience any unusual symptoms, please contact the clinic as soon as possible.
• Finally, make sure you discuss your treatment with your practitioner in order for you to get the best correction from your dermal filler. Treatments are normally recommended every 6-18 months depending on which filler is used.
