Before Your Botox/Dysport Appointment:

To help minimize bruising and ensure the best results, we recommend the following:

1. Avoid blood-thinning medications (if medically appropriate) for 3–5 days:

• Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin)

• Aspirin

• Aleve

• Fish oil

• Vitamin E

• Ginkgo biloba

(Always consult your primary care provider before stopping any medication.)

2. Avoid alcohol for 24 hours

Alcohol increases the risk of bruising.

3. Schedule your appointment at least 2 weeks before major events

Botox/Dysport takes time to fully settle and show results.

After Your Botox/Dysport Treatment

1. Stay upright for 4 hours

Do not lie down or bend forward excessively.

2. Avoid touching, rubbing, or massaging the treated area for 24 hours

This prevents the Botox/Dysport from spreading to unintended muscles.

3. Avoid makeup for 4–6 hours

This reduces irritation and the risk of infection.

4. Skip exercise and heat for 24 hours

Heat can increase swelling and reduce effectiveness.

5. Avoid alcohol for 24 hours

This reduces the chance of bruising.

6. Tiny bumps or redness are normal

These usually resolve within minutes to an hour.

7. Bruising is possible

If it happens, you may use Arnica or a cold compress (gently, not with pressure).

8. Results appear gradually

• Initial improvement: 3–5 days

• Full results: 10–14 days

9. Avoid facials or facial massages for 1 week

These can move the product before it settles.

10. If this is your first treatment

We recommend a 2-week follow-up to assess results and ensure proper dosing.

When to Call:

Contact Sheila if you experience:

• Significant asymmetry after 14 days

• Difficulty swallowing

• Drooping eyelids (rare, but treatable)

• Any unusual or concerning symptoms

Your comfort and safety is my top priority.

What is facial filler?

Facial filler is a hyaluronic acid–based injectable used to restore volume, enhance facial contours, and soften wrinkles that occur with aging. It provides structure beneath the skin, helping the face appear lifted, smoother, and rejuvenated.

How long does filler last?

Most facial fillers last 9–18 months, depending on product choice, treatment area, metabolism, and lifestyle factors. Some areas may maintain results even longer with proper skin support and maintenance treatments.

Does facial filler hurt?

Most patients experience only mild discomfort. Topical numbing and lidocaine-containing filler help make treatment comfortable. You may feel slight pressure during injections rather than pain.

What results can I expect?

You’ll notice improvement immediately, with full settling over 2–4 weeks. Results include smoother lines, restored volume, improved facial balance, and a refreshed, more youthful appearance.

Is there downtime?

Minimal downtime is common. Mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising may occur and typically resolves within a few days. Most clients return to normal activities the same day or next day.

How many syringes will I need?

This varies based on your goals and level of volume loss. Subtle rejuvenation may require 1–2 syringes, while full facial balancing or anti-aging plans may use 2–4+ syringes over time. Sheila will recommend a custom plan during consultation.

Before Your Facial Filler Appointment

1. Avoid blood thinners for 3–5 days (if medically approved)

To reduce bruising, avoid:

• Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin)

• Aspirin

• Aleve

• Fish oil

• Vitamin E

• Ginkgo biloba

• St. John’s wort

(Always check with your primary provider before stopping any medication.)

2. Avoid alcohol for 24 hours

Alcohol increases bruising and swelling.

3. Hydrate well

Hyaluronic acid fillers work best when the body is well-hydrated.

4. Avoid dental work for 2 weeks before and after

Dental procedures increase bacterial exposure and can heighten infection risk.

5. Consider taking Arnica (optional)

Arnica tablets 24 hours before treatment may help minimize bruising.

After Your Facial Filler Treatment

Immediately After Treatment

• Expect mild swelling, tenderness, or redness at injection sites — this is normal and typically resolves within a few days.

• Apply a cool compress or ice pack wrapped in a clean cloth for 10 minutes at a time to reduce swelling.

• Keep the area clean and avoid touching, rubbing, or massaging unless instructed by your provider.

For the First 24–48 Hours

❗ Avoid anything that increases heat or blood flow to the face:

• Strenuous exercise or elevated heart rate

• Saunas, steam rooms, hot tubs, or hot yoga

• Excessive sun or heat exposure

• Alcohol consumption (may increase swelling/bruising)

• Blood-thinning medications/supplements (unless prescribed)

💄 Makeup may be applied after 6–12 hours, as long as the skin is not irritated.

Sleeping & Positioning

• Sleep on your back with head elevated the first night if possible.

• Avoid sleeping on your face or putting pressure on treated areas.

Skincare

• Resume gentle skincare the next day.

• Avoid exfoliants, retinoids, AHAs/BHAs, or active products for 3–5 days, or until the skin is fully calm.

• SPF daily is recommended to protect results and prevent aging.

Swelling/Bruising Expectations

• Some lumps or firmness may be felt initially — filler softens and settles over 2–4 weeks.

• Arnica or bromelain supplements may help reduce bruising.

• Bruising can take several days to fade and is normal.

What to Avoid Longer-Term

• Avoid facial massages, dental work, or facial treatments for 2 weeks unless approved.

• No microneedling, chemical peels, or laser treatments over injected areas for 2–4 weeks.

Results

• Initial improvement is visible immediately.

• Final results develop as swelling settles — typically 2–4 weeks.

• Touch-ups may be recommended for optimal results.

Contact Sheila If You Notice:

• Increasing pain, spreading redness, coolness or discoloration of the skin

• Blanching/pale areas, unusual swelling, or severe pain

• Any signs of allergic reaction or infection

These symptoms are rare, but prompt communication is important.

Full Syringe $700

How long do lip fillers last?

Most lip fillers last 8–12 months, depending on your metabolism, lifestyle, and filler type. Some patients experience longer or shorter durations.

Will my lips look natural?

Yes. Our injectors specialize in subtle, balanced enhancements that complement your features. The goal is natural-looking lips that fit your facial proportions — never overfilled.

Does lip filler hurt?

Mild discomfort is normal, but we use strong topical numbing and fillers containing lidocaine to make the treatment as comfortable as possible.

How long is the appointment?

A typical lip filler appointment takes about 45 minutes, including consultation, numbing, and treatment.

What is the downtime?

Most patients resume normal activities immediately. Swelling is common for the first 24–72 hours, and minor bruising may last a few days. Full results are visible once swelling settles — usually around 1–2 weeks.

What should I avoid after lip filler?

For the first 24–48 hours:

• Avoid strenuous exercise

• Avoid saunas, hot tubs, and heat

• Avoid alcohol

• Avoid massaging or pressing on the lips

• Avoid applying makeup directly to injection sites for 12–24 hours

Detailed care instructions can be added to your website if you’d like.

Can I combine a Lip Flip with lip filler?

Absolutely. A Lip Flip enhances lip shape with Botox, while filler enhances volume and hydration. Used together, they create beautifully balanced, natural-looking lips.

Is dissolving possible if I don’t like the results?

Yes. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved with a medication called hyaluronidase. Most patients love their results, but it’s reassuring to know filler can be adjusted.

How soon before an event should I get lip filler?

Plan your appointment at least 2 weeks before an important event to allow swelling and bruising to fully resolve.

Who is a good candidate for lip filler?

You may be a good candidate if you:

• Want fuller or more hydrated lips

• Have age-related volume loss

• Want to correct asymmetry

• Desire a smoother, more defined lip shape

• Want natural, balanced enhancement

Before Your Lip Filler Appointment

1. Avoid blood thinners for 3–5 days (if medically approved)

To reduce bruising, avoid:

• Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin)

• Aspirin

• Aleve

• Fish oil

• Vitamin E

• Ginkgo biloba

• St. John’s wort

(Always check with your primary provider before stopping any medication.)

2. Avoid alcohol for 24 hours

4. Avoid dental work for 2 weeks before and after

Dental procedures increase bacterial exposure and can heighten infection risk.

5. Consider taking Arnica (optional)

Arnica tablets 24 hours before treatment may help minimize bruising.

6. If prone to cold sores

Ask your provider about using antiviral medication to prevent a flare.

7. Arrive with clean lips and skin

No makeup, lipstick, gloss, or skincare products.

After Your Lip Filler Treatment

The First 24–48 Hours

1. Expect swelling (this is normal!)

Swelling is usually most noticeable in the first 24–48 hours and settles over a few days.

2. Apply ice gently

Use a clean cold pack wrapped in a thin cloth for 10 minutes at a time.
Do not apply firm pressure.

3. Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours

Elevation in heart rate can worsen swelling.

4. Avoid heat exposure for 24–48 hours

Skip saunas, hot tubs, steam rooms, tanning, and hot yoga.

5. Avoid alcohol for 24 hours

Alcohol increases bruising and swelling.

6. Do not touch, massage, or press on your lips

This can shift the filler before it settles.

7. Avoid makeup on your lips for 12–24 hours

This reduces infection risk.

8. Avoid salty or spicy foods if lips feel sensitive

This can irritate the injection sites.
