After your treatment with dermal fillers you might have some redness, swelling and bruising. This is normal and can last up from seven (7) to fourteen (14) days.

 

​

​

  • ​USE COLD COMPRESSES IMMEDIATELY AFTER TREATMENT TO REDUCE SWELLING. IF THE INCONVENIENCE CONTINUES BEYOND SEVEN DAYS OR IF OTHER REACTION OR SIDE EFFECTS OCCUR, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR INJECTOR AND DOCTOR 

​

  • AVOID TOUCHING THE TREATED AREAS FOR SIX (6) HOURS FOLLOWING TREATMENT. DO NOT MASSAGE THE INJECTION SITES THE DAY OF THE INJECTIONS. AFTER THAT, THE AREA CAN BE GENTLY MASSAGE

​
