• Avoid Blood-Thinning Medications/Supplements: If approved by your healthcare
  provider, avoid non-essential blood-thinning medications and supplements for 3–5 days
  before treatment, including Vitamin E, Fish Oil, Ginkgo Biloba, and ibuprofen or aspirin. Do
  not discontinue prescribed medications without consulting your physician.
• Limit Alcohol: Avoid alcohol for 24–48 hours before treatment, as it may increase
  bruising and swelling.
• Avoid Other Skin Treatments: Do not have chemical peels, lasers, microneedling,
  waxing, or other facial treatments for at least 1 week prior to injections.
• Stop Active Skincare Products: Discontinue retinoids, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and
  other exfoliating or irritating skincare products 2–3 days before treatment.
• Cold Sore History: If you have a history of cold sores (herpes simplex), please notify your
  provider prior to treatment, as preventative medication may be recommended.
• Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Please inform your provider if you are pregnant, trying to
  become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
• Medical History: Please inform your provider of any significant medical history, allergies,
  prior filler treatments, or medications prior to treatment.
• Arrive with Clean Skin: Please arrive with clean skin free of makeup, sunscreen, lotions,
  or oils whenever possible.

• Procedure Duration: The treatment typically takes 30 minutes to complete, making it a quick and efficient procedure.
• Precise Injection Process: Using a fine needle, our practitioner will administer RHA Fillers to targeted areas of the face. You may feel a slight pinch at the injection sites, but discomfort is usually minimal.
• Areas Treated: Common areas include nasolabial folds (smile lines), marionette lines, cheeks, and other facial contours.
• Post-Injection Comfort: Any discomfort experienced during the injection process will typically resolve immediately after the procedure.

• Return to Normal Activities: Most patients may resume normal daily activities immediately after treatment.
• Avoid Touching or Massaging: Do not touch, press, massage, or manipulate the treated areas for at least 24 hours unless otherwise directed by your provider.
• Avoid Heat & Exercise: Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, hot tubs, steam rooms, and excessive heat for 24–48 hours after treatment.
• Sun Protection: Avoid direct sun exposure and wear a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen daily to protect healing skin.
• Expected Swelling & Bruising: Mild swelling, redness, tenderness, and bruising are common and may last several days to 1–2 weeks depending on treatment area and individual response.
• Ice (If Needed): Cold compresses may be used intermittently during the first 24 hours to help reduce swelling and discomfort. Do not apply direct ice to skin—use a barrier.
• Asymmetry Early On: Early results may appear uneven due to swelling. Final results should be assessed after 2 weeks once swelling has fully resolved.
• Lumps or Firmness: Temporary firmness or small lumps may occur and often soften as the filler integrates over time. Contact the office if persistent or concerning.
• Sleeping & Positioning: You may lie down after treatment if needed. However, avoid placing direct pressure on treated areas. For the first night, try to sleep on your back and avoid sleeping face-down or on the treated side to minimize swelling and product displacement.
• Avoid Dental Work: If possible, avoid elective dental procedures for 2 weeks after filler treatment. • Makeup: Makeup may typically be applied after 24 hours if there is no open skin or significant tenderness.
• Expected Results: Results are visible immediately, but final outcomes are best assessed after 14 days once swelling has resolved and filler has settled.
• Treatment Longevity: Dermal filler results typically last 6–18 months depending on product type, treatment area, and individual metabolism.
• Contact the Office Immediately If You Experience: Severe pain, skin blanching or discoloration, increasing swelling, signs of infection, vision changes, or any unexpected reaction.
