Q: Do fillers hurt?

The level of discomfort can vary from person to person. While some may experience minimal discomfort during the procedure, others may feel mild pain.

This depends on the injector’s technique and your underlying pain tolerance.  To ensure your comfort, we apply a clinic-grade numbing cream before treatment.

Q: What are aftercare tips for lip fillers?

• Do not massage the area unless instructed by your injector.
  
• Avoid extreme temperatures on the day of treatment, such as saunas, hot drinks, hot tubs or skiing.
• Use cool compresses to ease discomfort and reduce the likelihood of bruising.

Following your treatment, you will also be given more specific instructions unique to your provided medical history.
