Dermal Fillers in London UK
patients are taking drugs such as ibuprofen, aspirin, plavix, warfarin etc they should discuss these with their dermal filler injecting clinician. These drugs are not absolute no-no’s in terms of who can be treated but they do carry extra risks of bruising particularly, making it all the more important to have a medically qualified clinician consult with and inject the patient. This always happens at Freedomhealth.
Patients should avoid putting any undue pressure on the area for at least two days to give the injected gel time to set. High heat should also be avoided for a short period, especially excessive sun exposure, sauna’s and steam rooms etc.
People with a history of cold sores may experience a recurrence after treatment, although this can be minimised by the use of antiviral medicines.
Anyone who experiences severe skin allergies may not be suitable for injections, especially those who have ever experienced anaphylactic shock. Anaphylaxis with hyaluronic acid products made by reputable suppliers such as the Restylane company Q-Med aesthetics and also the company making Juvederm is extremely unlikely. Existing problems with allergies of any type should be discussed in depth with a Doctor first.
How long do injectable fillers last?
Injectable fillers will usually last from six months to a year before being broken down inside the body. Semi-permanent fillers can last up to two years, while permanent fillers can last up to ten years or more.
At the end of that time the fillers do not simply disappear but there is a gradual fading of the effect. This is usually apparent to the patient and a further top up can be useful in terms of restoring the original effect.
