Risks/ preventive recommendations

Although the vast majority of fillers are safe and well tolerated, there may be some risks and complications related to the injection technique itself (bruising, slight swelling, pain, stiffness ...) and less frequently with the product.

Before treatment, patients should not take aspirin, steroids, or high doses of vitamin E, as these can cause bleeding or swelling at the injection site.

In general, there is no need to perform any pre allergy skin test.

After treatment, patients should not be exposed to intense heat (sun, solarium, laser or IPL).

Efficacy

The effect of facial fillers can be seen instantly, without changing the facial expression. Its effects are durable over time, and can be permanent or not depending on the injected solution used.

In some cases, the treatment can be a little painful and the patient may feel some discomfort. A cream for local anesthesia is often used. Another form of anesthesia is a dental block, used to numb the area when performing a lip augmentation.

In some situations, the injection of the fillers can be performed in combination with other medical procedures.

Useful products:

 K-vit cream and  Angioses eye contour gel may be used after filling to diminish bruising induced by injections. Hidraderm Hyal cream and Fillderma nano as well as one step are very useful to maintain the wrinkle filling.
