Side effects can include bruising and swelling to the area following the dermal filler injection. This usually goes within a couple of days. It’s also worth taking Arnica tablets and avoiding alcohol for a couple of days prior to treatment to minimise the side effects.

I’ll let you know the exact price during your consultation, but prices start at £300.

There is minimal downtime but we advise this aftercare:

• Avoid touching the treated area within 6 hours following treatment. After that, light makeup can be applied and the area can be gently washed with a gentle facial cleanser and water.
• If you get any bruising, do apply an ice pack and arnica cream.
• If you bruise easily, you may want to take arnica tablets for 1 day before the procedure and for 5 days afterwards
• Until the initial swelling and redness has resolved, do not expose the treated area to intense heat (e.g. solarium and sunbathing) or extreme cold.
• If you are using aspirin or any similar medication, be aware that these may increase the risk of bruising at the injection site.
• Do not consume excessive alcohol for 24 hours prior to treatment and 24 hours after treatment.
• Avoid sports and physical exertion for first day
• Avoid further cosmetic treatments for at least 14 days
• Avoid dental procedures for at least two weeks
• An SPF must be applied to the skin daily to prevent further sun damage to the skin. We recommend using a medical sun protection product.
