Pre-treatment preparation for dermal fillers
Proper pre-treatment preparation is essential for achieving safe and effective results with dermal fillers. Careful preparation helps minimize potential side effects, ensures optimal outcomes, and supports a smooth recovery process. The first step in preparation is scheduling a consultation with a qualified practitioner. During this session, the practitioner evaluates the patient’s facial anatomy, skin condition, and aesthetic goals. Discussing medical history, allergies, medications, and previous cosmetic procedures is crucial, as certain medications like blood thinners or anti-inflammatory drugs can increase the risk of bruising or bleeding during injections. Patients should disclose any history of cold sores, as fillers around the lips or perioral area may trigger an outbreak.
