What to Expect From Your Cincinnati Dermal Filler Treatment
Before Your Filler Appointment
During your dermal filler consultation, one of our experienced aesthetic providers will assess your facial anatomy and discuss your aesthetic goals with you. To minimize bruising, avoid blood-thinning medicine and supplements like aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E and fish oil for one week before treatment, if medically appropriate.
During Your Filler Session
Your aesthetic provider will cleanse the treatment areas and may apply a numbing cream for your comfort. Most of our fillers contain lidocaine to further reduce any discomfort. Using fine needles or cannulas, your injector places the filler precisely into targeted areas. The entire injection process typically takes 15 to 45 minutes.
After Your Injectable Filler Treatment
Some swelling, redness or minor bruising may occur and typically resolves within a few days. You can apply ice packs to reduce swelling. Avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat and alcohol for 24 to 48 hours after treatment.
Results are visible immediately, though final results appear once any swelling subsides.
