Understanding Injectable Fillers & Hyaluronic Acid

Before diving into preparation, it's crucial to understand what injectable fillers are and their purpose.

Fillers, typically composed of substances like hyaluronic acid, are designed to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours.

They are a versatile treatment option, suitable for various areas, including lips, cheeks, and nasolabial folds.

  • Treatment Plan: We'll develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique facial structure and desired outcomes.

A Week Before the Appointment

  • Medication and Supplements: Avoid blood-thinning medications like aspirin, ibuprofen, and certain supplements (e.g., fish oil, Vitamin E) to reduce the risk of bruising.
  • Skincare Routine: Discuss any topical treatments with your provider, as certain products may need to be paused.

48 Hours Before the Treatment
