Aftercare advice
Filler: before and after treatment
How to prepare, and how to look after the result after filler.
General advice – the nurse will give you personal advice tailored to your treatment.
Before treatment
- Tell us about any medicines (especially blood thinners), allergies, pregnancy/breastfeeding, herpes and previous treatments.
- Come without make-up in the area to be treated, and with freshly washed skin.
- Avoid alcohol the day before and on the day unless otherwise agreed.
- Avoid anti-inflammatory painkillers (e.g. ibuprofen/aspirin) and supplements such as fish oil/vitamin E in the days before, if your doctor allows it – ask us if you take these regularly.
- Have you had cold sores (herpes)? Tell us – lip treatment may require prevention.
After treatment
- Avoid pressing, rubbing or massaging the area unless the nurse has said so.
- Avoid exercise, sauna, tanning beds and strong heat for the first 24–48 hours.
- Avoid make-up in the area for the first 24 hours.
- Feel free to sleep with your head slightly raised the first night; use a cool (not ice-cold) compress for short periods against swelling.
- Avoid further treatments on the face (dentist, peeling, laser) for the first few weeks – ask us.
This is normal
- Slight swelling, tenderness, redness and small bruises in the first few days.
- Small bumps may be felt in the first few days and normally even out.
- The final result is assessed after approx. 2 weeks.
