Dermal fillers for the body

The durability of dermal body fillers varies depending on several factors, such as:

• The type of filter: hyaluronic acid-based fillers are the most commonly used and have an average duration of action of a few months to about a year and a half.
• Treatment area: Fillers injected into areas with more mobility (e.g. lips) are metabolized faster than those placed in areas with less movement (e.g. cheeks).
• Individual characteristics of the body: everyone’s metabolism is different, which also affects the rate of degradation of the filter.
• Lifestyle: Smoking, excessive alcohol use and sun exposure can speed up the filter degradation process.

As a general rule, re-insertion of dermal fillers is recommended when the effect of the previous procedure begins to wear off. This usually happens gradually, so there’s no need to worry about noticing a sudden change in your appearance.

Your safety is our primary concern and for this reason we do not perform injectable procedures on clients who are pregnant. We advise against any cosmetic injectable procedures during pregnancy as a precaution and due to the lack of available information on the effects of these types of procedures on the fetus.

We advise to keep a minimum interval of 7 days before or after vaccination.

Before the procedure you MUST NOT:

• Take over-the-counter blood-thinning medications such as Aspirin, Motrin, Ibuprofen, and Aleve (7 days prior to the injection;
• Apply products such as retinol, retinoids, glycolic acid, or other anti-aging formulas, as well as creams containing wax, bleaching agents, or depilatory creams to the area of injection placement (2 days prior to injection placement);
• Drink alcohol (on the day of the procedure).

After the placement of dermal fillers, it is important to follow a few recommendations:

• Avoid vigorous exercise: During the first 24-48 hours after the procedure, it is best to avoid vigorous exercise as it can cause swelling and redness in the treated area.
• Avoid massaging or rubbing the area where the fillers were placed, at least for the first few days.
• Avoid sauna, steam room and tanning bed: High temperatures can cause swelling and degradation of the filter more quickly.
• Protect your skin from the sun: Use a high factor sunscreen to protect your skin from the harmful effects of UV rays.
• Maintain hygiene: Keep the treated area clean and dry.
• Take the medicines prescribed by the doctor: If you are prescribed any medicines, follow the doctor’s instructions strictly.
• Contact your doctor if you have any concerns: If you notice unusual symptoms such as severe swelling, redness, pain, or infection, contact your doctor immediately.
