Before you have the Dermal Filler Treatment

Before you decide whether or not to have treatment with dermal fillers you will need to have a consultation with an aesthetic practitioner. They will be able to talk to you about your concerns and decide if fillers are the right option for you and what type of filler will be best suited to your needs.

During your consultation the practitioner will take a medical history and discuss any risks or complications with you. Use this as an opportunity to ask any questions you have or bring up any concerns. Don’t be afraid to ask your practitioner what their experience and training is with the product they are using. Also ask to see before and after pictures to give you an idea of what kind of results they can achieve.

Although you can have your treatment done on the same day as your consultation it is a good idea to go away and think about it before you go ahead. This will give you a chance to research the product your practitioner has suggested. Your clinic should be able to give you leaflets on the product they are going to use. Read these thoroughly to make sure you know exactly what is being injected. A lot of people who encounter complications with fillers do not know what is being injected into them and this can make the problem difficult to deal with. The most important message is to do your homework.

With the development of so many new, biocompatible products it is no longer that common for practitioners to use bovine collagen products, however if you do decide to go down this route you will need to have a skin test before having your treatment as a small percentage of people are allergic to this substance. The practitioner will usually inject a small amount of the product into your arm. You will then be checked at a follow up appointment to make sure you are not allergic to the product.
