Dermal Fillers in Hampton Hill: What to Expect Before Your First Treatment
Considering dermal fillers but unsure what your first treatment involves?
Dermal fillers are injectable gels, most commonly made from hyaluronic acid, used to add volume and soften lines in areas such as the cheeks, lips and jawline. Results typically last between six and eighteen months.
At The Good Skin Company in Hampton Hill, every treatment begins with a consultation to understand your medical history, goals and whether dermal fillers are appropriate for you.
Before Your Dermal Filler Appointment
We always start with a proper consultation — never injecting on the same day as your first meeting without assessing your medical history, allergies, and goals.
Avoid alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen, and fish oil for 24–48 hours beforehand, as these increase bruising risk. We recommend booking at least a week or two before any major event, in case of mild swelling.
What Happens During Dermal Filler Treatment?
Most appointments take 30–45 minutes, with topical numbing for comfort. You’ll see results immediately, though final settling takes one to two weeks.
Dermal Filler Aftercare
Mild swelling or bruising is normal and settles within a week.
Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and heat (saunas, sunbeds) for 24–48 hours.
Avoid touching the area or applying makeup for 12–24 hours.
Contact us promptly if you notice unusual pain or signs of infection.
