Filler
Treatment Overview
Hyaluronic acid fillers are placed into the tissue to enhance your natural anatomy or to restore volume loss. They can be placed into lips, cheeks, chin points, under eyes/tear troughs, nasolabial folds, marionette lines and so many other locations to make you feel and look your best.
Some filler placements may require patients to be on medical grade skin care. This allows us to properly estimate healing time.
Can't handle needles? Ask for a numbing blocker — only an extra $20.
Before Filler
Before treatment, you may be advised to use medical grade skincare on the area. If you are treating a sensitive area, you may be advised to use medical grade skincare post treatment for proper healing.
To lessen bruising, we recommend patients start taking arnica tablets and avoid taking blood thinners (Aspirin, Tylenol, Advil, Aleve, etc) for 3 days before their appointment
24-Hours After Filler
No working out or running as this could move the filler from one location to another.
Massaging gently over the area is fine and encouraged, this will help to have a smooth and even application of filler.
Try not to lay on affected area for the first 3 days.

Post-Treatment Care
Bumps happen as the filler is integrating into your natural tissues. So don't freak out! Just massage the area gently and the product will disperse. We recommend massing treated areas for 4 weeks after treatment.
