Facial And Lip Filler in Phoenix and Sun City West
Dermal fillers help to diminish facial lines and restore volume and fullness in the face. As we age, our faces naturally lose subcutaneous fat. The facial muscles are then working closer to the skin surface, so smile lines and crow’s feet become more apparent. The facial skin also stretches a bit, adding to this loss of facial volume. Other factors that affect the facial skin include sun exposure, heredity, and lifestyle.

Post Dermal Filler Instructions
- The majority of reactions to dermal fillers are redness, swelling, bruising and tenderness, after the injections. These usually subside a few days after the treatment but can last up to a week. If any of these symptoms persist longer than a week, or if you develop other symptoms, please contact our office for advice.
- Cold compresses may be used after the treatment to reduce swelling and decrease soreness. You may take Tylenol every 4-6 hours after the treatment to help with any discomfort you may have.
- Make-up may be applied a few hours after treatment, if no complications are present, such as: open wounds, bleeding or infection.
- In the first 24 hours following treatment, extensive sun or heat exposure and alcoholic beverages may cause a temporary increase in redness, bruising or swelling at the injection sites. If there is swelling or redness after the injections, you should limit exposure to sunlight or UV lamps until these symptoms subside (for at least 5-7 days). If sun exposure is unavoidable, use a sun block with an SPF of 25 or greater, combined with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide.
- Patients should avoid strenuous exercise for 48 hours, to prevent moving the filler or increasing blood flow to the face.
- Avoid taking aspirin, Ibuprofen, Advil, Motrin, Aleve, Nuprin, Gingko Biloba, St. John’s Wort and high doses of Vitamin E, for about 5 days after the treatment, as these may cause an increased risk of bleeding or bruising at the injection sites.
- Avoid excessive touching or massaging the treated areas for about 6 hours after the injections. The treated areas can be washed with a gentle cleanser such as Cetaphil or Purpose.
- Studies have shown that having a follow-up treatment before the product has fully dissipated will enhance the lasting effect. Consult your physician about recommendations for touch-up or follow-up treatments.
