Will I need to take medication?

The clinic prescribes medication for 3 days to prevent inflammation and ease pain. Tell the staff about any antibiotic allergy or other medical condition before treatment.

When should I contact the clinic?

Contact the clinic if pain keeps getting worse after the prescribed medication, or if you notice skin color changes, blisters, itching or a lasting feeling of heat at the treated area.

What should I avoid in the first weeks?

For 2 to 3 weeks, avoid pressure on the treated area. That includes hats, sleeping on your stomach or side, glasses, ultrasound or radiofrequency treatments, deep facial massage and dental work.

What is the difference between domestic and imported fillers? Which product is better?

Both are hyaluronic acid fillers used for the same purpose, but imported fillers have a longer track record worldwide than domestic products. They also come in many varieties with different viscoelasticity depending on particle size, which allows more precise and natural results for each treatment area.

Can filler be removed?

Our clinic uses hyaluronic acid filler. If you want it removed after the treatment, it can be dissolved with an injection of hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid. However, if a long time has passed since the treatment and fibrosis has made the filler firm, it may be difficult to remove completely in a single session. We recommend visiting the clinic for a thorough consultation with our medical staff before proceeding.
