Dermal Filler Treatments

DERMAL FILLER TREATMENTS
You will likely experience some discomfort and swelling after the procedure; this generally takes a few days to settle, but can take up to 4 weeks. 
There may occasionally be bruising or redness at the injection site which in most cases disappears within a few days. Please keep in mind it can take longer for a bruise to completely heal. 
Avoid touching the area and applying makeup directly to the injection sites for 24 hours, this is to reduce any incidence of infection.
Avoid alcohol, exercise, excessively warm environments such as hot baths and showers, steam rooms and saunas for at least 24 hours afterwards as it can lead to flushing of the skin – this can increase the swelling and bruising post procedure. 
Avoid rubbing the areas of the face that have been injected for 24 hours; avoid other facial treatments at another clinic for 4 weeks after treatment. 
Unless for other medical reasons, avoid taking Ibuprofen or Aspirin for 24 hours as this can lead to bruising or worsening of an existing bruise. We would advise you to take paracetamol if needed.
If you notice any areas of skin that become pale, mottled, or grey, or if you are experiencing ongoing and worsening pain, you should seek immediate advice from The BO BOX– this could be a sign that a nearby blood vessel has been blocked. This is a very rare but potentially serious complication and treatment may be needed urgently. Please refer to the instructions in your aftercare message on how to get in touch with us out of hours.
