·   Run away products with Omega 3 (pills of fish oils, flaxseed oil, chia seeds, and hemp seeds), Vitamin E and other ingredients.

·   Stay away of drinking alcoholic drinks

·   Run away drinking green tea whenever feasible (you can drink black and herbal tea)

·   Stop taking any prescribed medications and vitamin supplements that influence blood clotting before receiving therapy. Find out from our doctors how long before the procedure you should stop taking these medicines.

·   Eat raw pineapple for a week or two before therapy. The protein bromelain, which is known to lessen swelling, is present in it.

·   Take arnica, a herbal remedy that lessens swelling and encourages recovery, five days prior to therapy.

You should also consider your facial structure and health issues. Your overall health, including any underlying illnesses or risk factors, will be assessed by our doctors. Describe about any sensitive conditions if you have to our doctors. In addition, let them know if you’re taking any herbal remedies or prescribed or medicines.

Your visage will be examined and measured by our medical professionals. As part of your medical documentation, we will also capture pictures of your lips and face.

It is also crucial to picture yourself in the situation before deciding on dermal fillers. Think about having a fresh haircut. To offer your hairdresser an idea of how you want your hair to appear, you can show them a picture. However, your hairdresser might inform you that due to your hair’s structure, hairline, volume, or length, it won’t appear like the picture. Although you might aspire to have facial elements that resemble those of a celebrity, your facial structure and characteristics may make this impossible. Check with our doctors to see if bringing in a photo is beneficial. But if your healthcare provider does not want to use a picture as a reference, be ready to explain your desired face shape in great detail.

It is also crucial question that what to do during filler treatment.

A succession of tiny fillers are used during dermal filler (including lip and cheek filler) procedures to fix or volumize problem areas. The process is comparatively painless and very fast. Immediately following the end of the therapy, any pain goes away.

For all filler procedures, including lips and cheeks, a topical anesthetic is administered previous to the procedure to numb the region being treated. Per treatment area, the injection itself takes a short while. The area being treated will be injected into, massaged, and evaluated by your medical expert. If extra filler is required, it will be applied to ensure that you are satisfied with the outcomes and that they satisfy your expectations. Based on your individualized therapy, the procedure could take anywhere between 15 and 60 minutes.

We can also mention that a very tiny tool is used to apply dermal fillers. Getting injections in their cheekbones, temples, or other regions often causes first-time patients anxiety. Treatment with dermal fillers is truly not too painful. When fillers are injected, the anesthetic in their formulations starts to desensitize nerve receptors right away. The fact that you also receive quick results is even better than this quick procedure.

Dermal filler treatments have a different complete recovery period for each patient. One to two days are usually needed for recuperation. After therapy, the majority of patients can resume their regular routines right away. In fact, some patients plan their appointments for the lunch hour and then head back to the office immediately after.

Approximately 4 weeks after treatment, your final result will be visible, and you can be evaluated to determine whether additional treatments are necessary to produce the desired results.

Your skin will be cleansed right away after the injections. You should wait six hours before touching your skin. Following that, you can wash your face with water and a mild cleaner.

There are some strict rules after treatment. What are they?

Do not use blood thinners.

Swelling and discoloration can be brought on by blood-thinning medications like aspirin and ibuprofen. 24 to 48 hours after the procedure, stay away from them.

Keep hydrated.

Dermatologists advise staying hydrated for a few days following the treatment. Drinking plenty of water supports the body’s natural mending process.

Minimize sun exposure and heat

Keep this area away from very hot surfaces  (solarium or sauna)

Make use of cold compresses

Cold cloths applied to the affected area reduce bruising, and relieve pain. Every couple of hours, use them for 15 minutes.

Avoid exhausting workout

For 24-48 hours after therapy, go away from strenuous exercise like running and cardio. Exercise that is difficult boosts blood flow and may result in bruising and edema. Additionally, avoid swimming because this activity can lead to swelling and illness when combined with pool water. Avoid exercises like yoga and Pilates as well as other movements that involve bending below the hips.

Sleep on the back

For the first few evenings, refrain from applying pressure to the regions that have been treated (i.e. sleep on back of possible)

Skip the alcohol

Alcohol consumption can result in redness and edema as well as increased circulation. 24 to 48 hours after the therapy, stay away from it.

Do not get facial treatments

After your procedure, wait two weeks before scheduling any face procedures like facials, chemical peels, or laser therapy because the fillers need time to settle and take maximum affect.

Reduce Air Trips

Following a filler procedure, doctors advise against flying for a week as variations in atmospheric pressure may make the adverse effects worse.

Utilize gentle skincare products

Avoid using skincare products with chemicals that might irritate the treatment region for the first 24 hours.
