Personalized aftercare for your treatment

Good aftercare helps you stay comfortable and get the best from your treatment. While your injector will give you personalized instructions, here's a general sense of what to expect and how to look after yourself afterward.

What's normal afterward

Some mild swelling, tenderness, redness, or small bruising at treatment sites is common and usually settles within a few days. With filler, the final result takes a little time to show as any swelling settles. None of this is unusual.
