Dermal Fillers & Bioremodelling

Aftercare

Immediately after your dermal filler treatment, there may be a slight redness, swelling, tenderness or an itching sensation to the treated area. This is a normal response to the skin as a result of treatment and generally disappears in a few days.
Do not rub or touch the treated area until the next morning.
Do not consume alcohol or do strenuous exercise or apply makeup for 24 hours after treatment.
Do not lie down for the next 6 hours immediately after treatment.
Do not apply any pressure to the treated areas for the first few nights (please sleep on your back if possible).
For Cheek Fillers: Avoid restrictive headwear, including goggles, sunglasses or motorcycle helmets for up to 4 weeks.
Lip Filler: Do not smoke for at least 24 hours after having lip injections. Do not wear lipstick for 24 hours

Bioremodelling Treatment: It may take 24-48 hours for the HA to absorb under the skin.
Avoid extended exposure to sun, UV light and extended exposure to extreme hot or cold temperatures. This includes hot drinks immediately post your lip filler treatment.
Do not use AHA, Retinols, Vitamin C therapy, Glycolic, Acids, and Scrubs for 5 days after treatment.
Avoid facials, facial waxing, microdermabrasion, Glycolic or AHA peels for 4 weeks after treatment.
