Care guides you can actually use.

Arrive with clean skin and a clear idea of what you want to soften or enhance.

Helpful prep:

• Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before your visit when possible
• Pause blood-thinning supplements (fish oil, high-dose vitamin E, etc.) if your provider agrees
• Come makeup-light around the treatment area
• Eat a light meal so you feel steady

Your free consult is the place to ask every question — dosing, bruising, and what “natural” looks like for you.

Swelling and mild tenderness are common at first. Your lips may look fuller than the final result for a day or two.

For the first 24–48 hours:

• Use a cool compress in short sessions (no ice directly on skin)
• Sleep slightly elevated if you can
• Skip strenuous workouts, saunas, and hot yoga
• Avoid pressing, massaging, or “checking” the filler
• Hold off on lipstick/lip products until the next day unless told otherwise

Call us if you have severe pain, blanching, or anything that feels urgently wrong. We would rather hear from you early.

Stay upright for about 4 hours after treatment. Skip hats that press the injection sites and skip facial massages that day.

Usually fine the same day:

• Gentle face washing
• Light makeup later if the skin is calm

Usually wait until tomorrow:

• Heavy workouts
• Facials, peels, or microneedling
• Rubbing or “working in” the product

Results build over several days. If something feels uneven after two weeks, message us — touch-ups are part of good care, not a failure.

Overfilled faces are usually a planning problem, not a product problem. Starting conservatively lets us protect your expression, then add only if you want more.

That is why we begin with a conversation:

• What you never want to lose
• What bothers you in photos vs. the mirror
• How fast you want change

Natural results are built on restraint, good anatomy, and a provider who listens first.
