Dermal fillers are injectable substances that can help to improve the appearance of various facial features and address signs of ageing. They are often used to:

  • Add volume: Fillers can restore lost volume in the cheeks, lips, and temples, giving the face a fuller, more youthful appearance.
  • Smooth wrinkles: Fillers can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and lines, such as nasolabial folds and crow’s feet.
  • Enhance facial features: Fillers can be used to enhance the shape and definition of the lips, cheeks, and jawline.

One of the most popular uses for dermal fillers is to treat tear troughs. Tear troughs are the hollow areas under the eyes that can make you look tired and aged. By injecting filler into these areas, it is possible to improve the appearance of tear troughs and create a more refreshed and youthful look.

Proper preparation is key to achieving optimal results and minimizing discomfort. Here’s a guide to help you get ready for your filler treatment.

How To Prep For Filler

1. Research and Consultation:

  • Choose a Reputable Clinic: Select a clinic with experienced practitioners and a good reputation.
  • Consult with a Professional: Schedule a consultation to discuss your goals, concerns, and medical history.
  • Understand Filler Types: Learn about the different types of fillers available, such as Juvederm and Teosyal, and their suitability for your desired outcomes.

2. Pre-Treatment Preparation:

  • Hydration: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated, which can help with filler absorption and reduce post-treatment swelling.
  • Avoid Blood Thinners: Discontinue blood thinners like aspirin, ibuprofen, or vitamin E for at least a week before your treatment to minimize bruising.
  • Avoid Alcohol and Caffeine: These can increase sensitivity and bruising.
  • Clean Skin: Arrive with clean skin to reduce the risk of infection.

3. The Treatment Process:

  • Numbing Cream: A topical numbing cream may be applied to the treatment area for comfort.
  • Injection: The filler is injected using fine needles. The procedure typically takes less than an hour.
  • Recovery: There may be some swelling or bruising immediately after the treatment, but these effects usually subside within a few days.

How Long Does It Take for Fillers to Work?

The results of dermal fillers are typically visible immediately after the treatment. However, it may take a few days for the full effects to settle in as the filler integrates with your natural tissues.

Aftercare Tips:

  • Avoid Touching: Refrain from touching or massaging the treated area for at least 24 hours.
  • Limit Strenuous Activity: Avoid strenuous exercise or excessive heat exposure for a few days.
  • Follow Post-Treatment Instructions: Adhere to your doctor’s specific instructions regarding aftercare.
