CARE GUIDELINES

Dermal Fillers Care Guide

Dermal fillers deliver visible results the moment you leave your appointment, but a little preparation and aftercare go a long way toward keeping swelling minimal and your final shape looking its best.

WHY IT MATTERS

Why Aftercare Matters for Your Results

Because filler is placed directly beneath the skin, how you treat the area in the first 48 hours can affect swelling, symmetry, and how quickly your results settle into their final look.

Filler shows immediate volume, with any swelling or bruising typically resolving within a few days and your final, settled shape visible within about two weeks.

Pre Care Guidelines

- Avoid blood-thinning medications like aspirin or ibuprofen for a few days before your appointment.
- Stay well hydrated in the days leading up to treatment for smoother filler placement.
- Share your full medical history and any allergies with your provider beforehand.
- Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before your appointment to reduce bruising risk.
- Come with a clear idea of your goals so your provider can build the right plan for you.

Post Care Guidelines

- Avoid touching, pressing, or massaging the treated area unless instructed by your provider.
- Skip strenuous exercise and excessive sun or heat exposure for 24 to 48 hours.
- Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours to help minimize swelling.
- Sleep with your head slightly elevated the first night to reduce swelling.
