2. If not contraindicated, you may take Tylenol® one hour before your appointment to alleviate any potential discomfort. If you have concerns about discomfort.

3. If you are prescribed blood thinners such as Coumadin or Plavix, consult your prescribing doctor to determine if it’s possible to temporarily cease these medications for 7-10 days prior to your appointment and at least 2 days post-procedure.

4. If you have a history of Herpes Simplex (cold sores) on your face, please inform the doctor you scheduled your appointment with at least one week prior. This allows us ample time to prescribe a medication to prevent an outbreak.

5. Avoid dental procedures (including cleaning) for 2 weeks before and after receiving filler injections.

6. Arrive at your appointment with a clean face. This means NO MAKEUP or MOISTURIZER.

7. Have a small meal or snack before your appointment.

After Dermal Filler Treatment:

1. Expect more pronounced bruising and swelling within the first 24-48 hours after receiving your dermal filler injections. Refrain from strenuous exercise for the remainder of the day following your injection(s). It might be best to avoid attending special events during this initial period.

2. The majority of reactions to dermal fillers include redness, swelling, bruising, and tenderness after the injections. Typically, these effects diminish within a few days, but may persist for up to a week. Should any of these symptoms endure beyond a week, or if new symptoms arise, please reach out to our office.

3. For alleviating swelling and soreness post-treatment, cold compresses can be applied. If not contraindicated, you may take Tylenol every 4-6 hours to manage any discomfort.

4. Make-up application can commence a few hours after the treatment, provided there are no complications like open wounds, bleeding, or infection.

5. In the initial 24 hours post-treatment, limit exposure to sunlight or UV lamps. Prolonged sun or heat exposure, as well as alcohol consumption, may lead to a temporary increase in redness, bruising, or swelling at the injection sites. If persistent swelling or redness occurs, it’s advisable to minimize exposure to sunlight or UV lamps until these symptoms subside (for at least 5-7 days). If sun exposure is unavoidable, use a sunblock with an SPF of 30 or higher, containing zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide.
