What should I do after my dermal filler treatment?
- Swelling will occur immediately after your treatment, so it is recommended you apply ice packs for at least 10-15 minutes after your treatment.
- We also recommend sleeping with your head slightly elevated for the first night after your treatment, making sure to avoiding putting pressure onto the area.
- To help reduce bruising you can purchase Arnica or Hirudoid cream from your local chemist.
- Avoid sun exposure for a minimum of 24 hours.
After your filler treatment it is normal to experience some minor redness, bruising and swelling, this will usually subside after a few days. The best way to avoid any bruising is to limit the intake of any blood thinning medications (such as aspirin, warfarin, or any type of anti-inflammatories) as well as over-the-counter blood thinners (like fish oils) in the week prior to your treatment.
