Some areas (such as lips) may experience more swelling, which can last up to 5–7 days.
Small lumps or unevenness may be present initially and typically settle as the filler integrates.
The results of the treatment are expected to last between 6 months to 1 year.

Severe or increasing levels of pain.
Pustules and/or blisters.

Any unusual symptoms

Results

Results are visible immediately, with final results once swelling has subsided (typically 1–2 weeks).

Important

Avoid facial treatments (e.g. micro-needling, facials, massage, laser, ultrasounds, peels, facial or micro-dermabrasion) for at least 2 weeks.
If you have had any cold sores or oral herpetic infection in the past, any treatment to your face may trigger reactivation.
