Pre-care Dermal Filler Instructions

• Schedule you filler appointment at least 4 weeks AFTER your final COVID-19 Vaccine
• Schedule your Dermal Filler appointment at least 2 weeks before a special event that you may be attending, such as a wedding or a vacation. Bruising and swelling may be apparent and take up to 2 weeks to heal.
• Avoid alcoholic beverages at least 24 hours before treatment (alcohol may thin the blood and increase the risk of bruising).
• Avoid anti-inflammatory/blood-thinning medications (unless prescribed by your physician) if possible, for a period of 5 days before treatment. Medications and supplements such as aspirin, vitamin E, ginkgo Biloba, ginseng, St. John’s Wort, Omega 3/Fish Oil supplements, Ibuprofen, Motrin, Advil, Aleve, and other NSAIDS have a blood-thinning effect and can increase the risk of bruising and swelling after injections.
• Reschedule your appointment at least 24 hours in advance (to avoid cancellation fees) if you have a rash, cold sore or blemish on the area of Dermal Filler.
• If you have a history of cold sores and you are having your lips or mouth area treated, please pretreat with anti-viral medication before Dermal Filler (as prescribed by your physician).
• We recommend talking to your primary care provider about taking Arnica Montana 2 days before injections to reduce bruising and swelling.
  • If you choose, please take 5 pellets 3 times per day 2 days before Derma Filler, the day of your Dermal Filler, and 2 days after your Derma Filler. You may purchase at most natural food stores, Amazon.
• You should avoid having dental work 2 weeks before or after receiving filler.
•  Be sure to have a good meal, including food and drink before your procedure. This will decrease the chance of lightheadedness or low blood sugar during your Dermal Filler.

Post-care Dermal Filler Instructions

• Avoid massaging the Dermal Filler area unless recommended to do so by your provider.
• Avoid strenuous exercise for 48 hours.
• Avoid extensive sun or heat for 72 hours.
• Do not use a Clarisonic when washing face for 1 week.
• Avoid consuming excess amounts of alcohol or salt for 48 hours to avoid excess swelling.
• Apply ice to the treated area 20 minutes per hour for the remainder of the day to decrease swelling and bruising.
• Use Tylenol for discomfort.
• Try to sleep on your back if you received filler in your cheeks for 1-2 nights.
• Talk to your primary care provider about taking Arnica to help reduce bruising and swelling (5 pellets 3 times daily for 2 days after Dermal Filler or until bruising resolves).
