Frequently Asked Questions
Are dermal fillers right for me?
+
Dermal fillers may be suitable if you want to restore facial volume, enhance your lips or define facial contours. During your consultation, we assess your goals, facial structure and medical history to determine whether treatment is appropriate.
Is the treatment uncomfortable?
+
You may feel brief pinching, pressure or stinging during the injections. Numbing options may be used to help manage discomfort. Your experience will depend on the treatment area and your individual sensitivity.
How long does an appointment take?
+
The injections often take around 15–30 minutes. Your full appointment will take longer to allow for consultation, assessment, preparation and aftercare instructions. We will confirm the expected appointment length when you book.
When will I see results, and how long do they last?
+
With hyaluronic acid fillers, changes are usually visible immediately, although swelling can temporarily affect the appearance. Allow around two weeks for initial swelling and bruising to settle. Results are temporary; how long they last depends on the product, treatment area and individual factors. Your provider will explain the expected duration for your treatment.
What are the possible risks and downtime?
+
Swelling, bruising, redness and tenderness are common and often settle within one to two weeks. Many people resume everyday activities shortly after treatment, following their provider's aftercare advice.
Other risks include infection, lumps and allergic reactions. Rare but serious complications include blocked blood vessels, which can cause tissue damage, vision loss or stroke. Seek urgent medical attention for unusual or severe pain, pale or discoloured skin, or any vision changes.

PRE-TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS:
Inform your provider if you have a history of Perioral Herpes to receive advice on antiviral therapy before treatment.
Avoid dental work (including standard teeth cleaning) at least two weeks before treatment and one month following treatment. Avoid oral surgery at least four weeks before treatment and one month following treatment as there is an increased risk of infection.
7 DAYS BEFORE TREATMENT:
To prevent bruising: Avoid blood thinning over-the-counter medications such as Aspirin, Motrin, Ibuprofen, and Aleve. Also avoid herbal supplements, such as Garlic, Vitamin E, Ginkgo Biloba, St. John's Wort, and Omega-3 capsules. Please note: If you have a cardiovascular history, please check with your doctor before stopping the use of Aspirin.
3 DAYS BEFORE TREATMENT:
Avoid topical products such as Tretinoin (Retin-A), Retinol, Retinoids, Glycolic Acid, Alpha Hydroxy Acid, or any "anti-aging" products. Also avoid waxing, bleaching, tweezing, or the use of hair removal cream on the area to be treated.
Do not drink alcoholic beverages 24 hours before (or after) your treatment to avoid extra bruising.
Do not use Dermal Fillers if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, are allergic to any of its ingredients, or suffer from any neurological disorders. Please inform your provider if you have any questions about this before the treatment.
DAY OF TREATMENT:
We will be removing all makeup from your face.
To maximize your comfort during the procedure, a topical anesthetic may be applied. In some cases, a local numbing medication will be injected into or around the area(s) to be treated.
You may experience a mild amount of tenderness or a stinging sensation following injection.
To ensure a smooth and even correction, your provider may massage the area(s) treated, which may cause a temporary, minimal amount of redness to your skin.
Post Care
+
IMMEDIATELY AFTER TREATMENT:
Redness and swelling are normal. Bruising may also be visible. You may experience some tenderness at the treatment site(s) that can last for a few hours or a few days.
Depending upon the area(s) treated and product(s) used, you may feel "firmness" in the treated area(s) for 1 to 2 weeks after treatment. Over time, the area(s) will soften and "settle."
POST-TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS:
Apply an ice or cold gel pack to the area(s) treated (avoiding pressure) as this helps reduce swelling and the potential for bruising.
Once you have adequately cooled/iced the area(s) as instructed and any pinpoint bleeding from the injection site(s) has subsided, you may begin wearing makeup.
Avoid placing excessive pressure on the treated area(s) for the first few hours and up to 2 to 3 days; when cleansing your face or applying makeup, be very gentle.
Avoid exercise or strenuous activities for the remainder of the treatment day; you may resume other normal activities/routines immediately.
You may take Acetaminophen/Tylenol if you experience any mild tenderness or discomfort.
Avoid extended UV exposure until any redness/swelling has subsided. Be sure to apply an SPF 30 or higher sunscreen.
Wait for a minimum of four weeks (or as directed by your provider) before receiving any skincare or laser treatments.
Any bruising will fade in 5 to 14 days.
We highly recommend that you return two weeks after your visit for a follow-up appointment.
