Treatment Care Guidelines
- Do not consume alcohol for at least 24 hours.
- Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your treatment.
- Discuss any medications with your clinician prior to treatment.
- Schedule follow-up sessions every 6–18 months, depending on filler type and personal metabolism, as part of ongoing care discussed during consultation.

Dermal fillers are medical procedures used to restore volume and enhance facial contours. As with any injectable treatment, there are some effects and risks you should be aware of before proceeding.
Possible effects following treatment may include:
- Infection: Bacterial, viral, or fungal infections may occur following the procedure, causing redness and swelling. In some cases, these may develop into abscesses or biofilms. For lip treatments, there is a possibility of triggering cold sores (herpes simplex) if you have a history of them. Medical intervention may be required in some instances.
- Allergic or immune reactions: Immediate reactions causing swelling can occur, and in very rare cases, severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis). Delayed reactions may also develop, appearing as nodules, lumps, or sterile abscesses either soon after treatment or months later. These may require treatment and could affect the appearance, sensation, or function of the treated area. The risk of reaction is approximately 1 in 200 treatments and may be higher if you have an active autoimmune condition or current infection.
- Lumps, bumps, or swelling: You may notice swelling, asymmetry, puffiness, lumps, bumps, or surface irregularities in the treated area. These effects can occur as the product settles.
- Longer-term effects: In some cases, side effects may persist and require ongoing management or treatment.
During your consultation, your treating practitioner will assess your medical history, discuss your goals, and determine your suitability for treatment.
