Aftercare fller treatment

› Smaller or larger swellings may be visible, depending on the treatment.
› The skin might be red. This usually disappears after 30 minutes.
› A bruise might be visible immediately. However, it is also possible a bruise appears only after a day or several days. In other cases, the treated area can be sensitive or have a sore feeling.
› The filler contains anesthesia. As a result, the area is hardly or not at all painful after treatment. Certain mimetic muscles may be numb. This could change certain movements temporarily and a stiff feeling can occur
› Avoid using a sunbed, as bruising can turn into hyperpigmentation.
› Avoid using or doing the following for the first six hours after your treatment:
› For the first two days after treatment, it is preferable not to:
‍
• Intense workouts
• Sauna
• Treatment by a beautician
• Sleeping on stomach

› Be careful not to apply too much pressure to the treated area. It is allowed to gently massage the area. The filler will not move out of place. In some cases, the doctor even advises you to massage the area, for instance with a lip filler, filler in the corners of the mouth, jawline and neck. If a small bump appears it is advised to apply firm pressure on it and massage it away. This might feel sensitive, but it will not harm the result. Please note, that massaging is only useful for the first three days after your treatment.
› Cooling directly after your treatment will prevent swelling and possible bruising
› While there is immediate result visible, cosmetic result is not yet to judge.

Everyone reacts differently to a filler treatment. Therefore, the recovery process can differ individually.

› After a small filler treatment, the result is already visible after 2 days but is usually at its best after 1 month.
‍› With larger treatment, such as a liquid facelift, the recovery process can take longer.For example, the swelling subsides, and deeper bruises can be different in size on the left and right side. This may cause an asymmetry in the first few days.
› Superficial bumps or disks can be felt. These always subside, but depending on the quantity and type of injectable, can be felt for a few days to 3 months (usually not visible).
› Many people can enjoy the result of a filler treatment for 8 to 18 months, or even longer. This depends on many factors.
‍
› Specific aftercare for certain areas:

• Tear trough: more prolonged swelling may occur. If so, please contact the clinic.Swelling may also occur after a few weeks or months due to a severe cold, altitude(travel) or for some other unexplained reason. Massaging the area can be anoption to try and reduce the swelling yourself.
• Lips: Swelling and bruising can last for several days. Contact the clinic if the swelling does not subside by the day. Do not bite on lumps, massage them instead. If you have a cold sore, make sure you use the right medication. In the morning, lips can be swollen for about an hour, it subsides quite quickly.
• Temporal area: On the day of the treatment, a headache and a feeling of pressurearound the temples may occur. When opening the jaw wide or when eating hardfood, it can be sensitive at the jaw, even though this has not been treated.
• Cheeks: sore feeling in the depths of the cheeks.

The following symptoms can occur during filler treatment:
‍
› Bruising, swelling, redness, itching and/or discoloration of the skin. In case of bruising anddiscoloration, try to avoid the sun as much as possible. This can potentially causehyperpigmentation. In addition, the skin should always be well protected with an SPF 50.
› A lump caused by overcorrection can be resolved with hyalase (an enzyme that dissolveshyaluronic acid).

› A filler restores firmness to the face and reduces sagging of the skin. The skin is better hydrated, and lines will fade. By repeating the same treatment, the result will stay longer.
› A filler can, as it were, make time stand still and allow everyone to retain their beautiful natural appearance. By combining with skin therapy treatments, the effect can become even more beautiful or last longer.
