volumizing fillers
Introduction
Volumizing fillers are a type of cosmetic treatment that involves injecting a substance, such as hyaluronic acid, into the skin to restore volume and create a more youthful, plump appearance.
As we age, our bodies starts to lose collagen. Collagen is an important substance that exists all over your body, including in your skin, muscles, bones and connective tissues.
Decreased amounts of collagen in your skin causes skin laxity (loose) and loss of volume. Skin becomes thinner, loses its elasticity and starts to sag.
You may choose to get dermal fillers to add volume to sagging skin, make your facial features more symmetrical, plump up lips and cheeks, and/or smooth wrinkles and creases in your face.
Some medications prescribed to treat medical conditions such as HIV and AIDS can cause thinness in your face. Some people choose to get dermal fillers to restore volume to their face after taking these medications.

The Treatment
Volumizing fillers can last anywhere from six months to two years, depending on the type of filler used and the area of the face being treated. Some common side effects of volumizing filler treatments include temporary bruising, swelling, and redness at the injection site.

How to prepare for my treatment
It is helpful to eat a lot of leafy greens and celery prior to the appointment, as it will increase the levels of vitamin K, a known bruise preventer/reducer.
Hydrate and eat a large meal before filler and bring a snack to eat right before the injection. It is important to have a full meal before a filler appointment.
Clear your schedule after filler so you can take time to ice your face and relax.
Arnica supplements have been shown to reduce discomfort, bruising, and swelling from injectable procedures. Arnica pills may be started the day before or the day of treatment and should be continued until bruising has resolved.
Apply VitaMedica Arnica + K Cream to areas most affected by bruising (around the mouth and under the eyes) for several days before injection.
Bruising is possible and therefore, we recommend that you schedule any social plans accordingly for 7-10 days following your injection.
Avoid Botox, Dysport or Xeomin within 2 days prior to treatment (in area being treated)
No makeup, lotions, deodorant on the day of your appointment (on the treatment area)
Post Care
You may resume your skin care program the same day as your Botox/Dysport/Xeomin treatment.
Do NOT have any facial laser or electrical treatments for two weeks following your Botox, Dysport, Xeomin injection.
Do NOT have any type of facial massage or place your face in a facial cradle for a massage for 24 hours following your injection.
To minimize bruises, we highly recommend Alastin INhance Post-Injection Serum. This should be applied after injection for a few days until they fade out.
Make sure to follow the aftercare skincare regimen prescribed by your provider.
To conceal bruises we recommend Colorescience Mineral Corrector Palette.
