dermal fillers in Orlando, Florida

01. Before Your Appointment

How much filler will I need? The answer depends on several factors, like age, amount of correction desired, and areas being treated. You may need as little as 1mL or as many as 6 mL syringes in order to achieve your desired results.

Are fillers safe? Is there anyone who should avoid them? To ensure a safe procedure, your injection specialist will talk to you about your medical history to determine if you are an appropriate candidate for treatment. You should not use hyaluronic acid fillers like Restylane® or JUVÉDERM® if:

• You have severe allergies with a history of severe reactions (anaphylaxis)
• You are allergic to lidocaine or to any of the gram-positive bacterial proteins used to make fillers
• You are prone to bleeding or have been diagnosed with a bleeding disorder
• You are pregnant or breastfeeding

What to avoid before treatment:

• If possible, do not consume alcoholic beverages at least 24 hours prior to treatment. Alcohol may thin your blood and increase your risk of bruising.
• If possible, avoid anti-inflammatory or blood-thinning medications for at least one week prior to treatment. Medications and supplements like Aspirin, Vitamin E, Ginkgo Biloba, Ginseng, St. John’s Wort, Omega-3/Fish Oil, Ibuprofen, Motrin, Advil, Aleve, and other NSAIDs have a blood-thinning effect and can increase the risk of bruising and swelling after injections.

Helpful tip: You can start taking an Arnica supplement about 48 hours before your wrinkle treatment in Orlando to decrease your chances of bruising.

What type of dermal filler is right for me? Everyone is different! Our expert injector will consider your facial anatomy, signs of aging, and results you’re hoping to achieve and help you select an ideal wrinkle treatment.

02. During Your Appointment

While everyone’s pain tolerance is different, most clients report only mild discomfort during treatment. Your treatment provider will apply numbing cream prior to your filler treatment, and we will provide you with ice packs to use during your injections. Our goal is to make your experience as pleasant as possible.

03. After Your Appointment

How long will my wrinkle treatment last? Hyaluronic acid fillers can last anywhere between 6 to 18 months, depending on which area(s) were treated, the amount of correction performed, and your body’s unique level of absorption.

When will I see results? The aesthetic results from our fillers in Orlando are immediate. The treated area may look swollen or feel firm immediately after treatment. As the product settles, these areas will soften, usually within 1 to 2 weeks.

What should I avoid after my Restylane or JUVÉDERM treatment?

• Do not lie down or bend forward for prolonged periods of time for at least 4 hours after treatment.
• Do not massage, rub, or press on the injected areas for at least 24 hours after treatment.
• Do not engage in vigorous activity for the rest of the day. Walking at a brisk pace is okay.
• Do not receive facials, laser treatments, facial massage, or microdermabrasion for at least 10 days after your injections.
• If possible, avoid consuming alcoholic beverages for at least 24 hours after your treatment.

What should I do if I am uncomfortable after my filler injections?

• Use ice packs for 5 to 10 minutes every two hours.
• You can use Tylenol or Acetaminophen to relieve pain. Avoid NSAIDs like Ibuprofen or Aspirin for 24 hours.
• Continue to take your Arnica supplement and/or use a topical Arnica gel to help avoid bruising and relieve pain.
