• Arnica and/or bromelain can help lessen immediate inflammation 

• Some redness may occur post treatment 

• Brusing does happen and may last up to 1 week in length. 

• Avoid excessive alcohol intake the day of your injection. 

Filler Post Care

• Results are seen immediately with dermal fillers; however best results are seen 2-4 weeks after injections. This is because swelling, bruising and the dermal filler gel itself needs time to settle and heal. Most fillers last 9-12months. However, some can last for up to 2 years. You will need to do touch ups to keep the filler looking its best.

• We do NOT recommend flying on an aircraft after any filler treatment for the first 48 hours.
