After the treatment, it is recommended to avoid the use of makeup on the treated areas, prolonged exposure to the sun and UV rays, extreme cold and extreme heat, such as saunas and steam rooms.

It’s important to tell the doctor if you have any of the following:

• Serious allergies with a history of anaphylactic shock, multiple severe allergies, allergic reactions to hyaluronic acid or other dermal fillers, or allergies to lidocaine or other local anesthetics
• A history of auto-immune disorders, recurring sore throats, acute rheumatoid arthritis, epilepsy or porphyria

To prevent unsatisfactory results or complications, you should discuss the following important considerations with the doctor before the treatment:

• If you’re taking any medications, especially those that could prolong bleeding, such as aspirin, non-steroid anti-inflammatory agents or anticoagulants, as the treatment, like any other injection, may induce bleeding
• If you’ve recently received other treatments to the surface of your skin or have previously used dermal fillers
• If you suffer from any infections or inflammation of the skin, such as acne or cold sores
• If you’re prone to excessive scarring
• If you’re pregnant or nursing
• You must be at least 18 years of age to receive the treatment and at least 21 in the case of treatment to the lips.
