Discover the secret to a rejuvenated and more youthful appearance at GC Skin Medspa, nestled in the heart of Sherman Oaks, California. We understand that the visible signs of aging often stem from volume loss in facial tissues. As these tissues naturally thin over time, wrinkles, fine lines, and facial imperfections become more prominent. That’s why countless individuals in the US and beyond turn to injectable treatments as their go-to solution.
Our range of injectables can work wonders for your skin. They’re designed to smooth lines, erase wrinkles, enhance lip fullness, refine facial contours, and ultimately grant your face a revitalized and youthful look.
Injectables are a non-invasive alternative to traditional plastic surgery. They offer affordability and minimal downtime, making them a popular choice among those seeking cosmetic enhancements. However, it’s important to note that like any cosmetic procedure, there are potential risks involved.
We understand that everyone seeking dermal fillers desires results that are not only effective but also natural and safe.
After a dermal filler treatment, experiencing some mild side effects is entirely normal. These reactions typically result from the needle punctures during the procedure and are usually temporary. Common side effects may include:
- Bruising
- Redness
- Swelling
- Tenderness
- Itching
- Bleeding
- Discomfort at the injection sites
Fortunately, these post-treatment symptoms are generally mild to moderate and tend to subside within a few days.
To minimize the risk of complications associated with fillers, we recommend taking the following precautions:
- Refrain from using blood-thinning medications such as aspirin, NSAIDs (Advil, Motrin, Ibuprofen), and supplements that have mild blood-thinning properties for at least two weeks prior to your treatment. This includes substances like vitamin E, St. John’s wort, garlic, turmeric, chia seeds, ginkgo biloba, and oils rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
- Avoid applying topical retinol products, glycolic acid, or other “anti-aging” products in the two days leading up to your treatment.
- Do not engage in waxing, bleaching, plucking, or any other hair removal methods in the treatment area for two days prior to your appointment.
- Refrain from consuming alcohol for at least 48 hours before and after the injection.
- Abstain from vigorous exercise for two days following your treatment.
Knowing all of these is important, that’s why selecting the right physician to perform your dermal filler procedure is of paramount importance.
