Cheek Filler

To prepare for cheek filler treatment, start by discussing your goals and any medical conditions with your practitioner during your consultation. To minimize bruising, avoid taking blood thinners like aspirin or ibuprofen a few days before the procedure. Staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water helps keep your skin in good condition. It’s also advisable to avoid alcohol for 24 hours prior to your treatment, as it can increase the risk of bruising. Lastly, follow any specific pre-treatment instructions provided by your practitioner to ensure a smooth and effective procedure.

Cheek filler treatments are generally well-tolerated with minimal pain. A topical numbing cream is often used so that you might feel a slight pinch or pressure during the procedure. Any discomfort is usually mild and temporary, with minor tenderness or swelling that resolves quickly afterward.

Typically, you’ll need just one appointment for your cheek filler treatment. During this session, the filler is injected to achieve your desired look. Follow-up appointments may be scheduled for touch-ups or to assess the results, but the initial treatment usually requires only a single visit.

This helps minimize swelling and ensures optimal results. Always follow your practitioner’s specific advice for the best recovery.
