During your consultation, your provider advises the steps you can take to prepare for your filler appointment. Often, these instructions include:
- If you anticipate an upcoming event (like a wedding or conference), take care to schedule your treatment at least 4 to 6 weeks in advance to give the filler time to settle.
- Avoid scheduling major dental procedures within 4 weeks of treatment.
- Limit the use of exfoliating or harsh skincare products that could irritate the skin 2 weeks prior to injectables.
- Protect the treatment area with sunscreen the week before your appointment.
- Take arnica supplements as directed to reduce your risk of bruising.
- Do not take NSAIDs or other blood-thinning medications within 48 hours of filler injections.
- Kindly refrain from consuming alcoholic or caffeinated beverages less than 24 hours before your appointment.
