Your Filler Treatment Plan
- Schedule your filler appointment at least two weeks before a special event. Redness, swelling and bruising may be apparent in that time period.
- Avoid any dental cleanings two weeks before and any dental procedures four weeks before filler treatment.
- To minimize bruising or bleeding, we recommend discontinuing the use of aspirin, NSAIDS, gingko biloba, garlic, ginseng, St. John’s Wort, flax oil, cod liver oil, vitamin A, vitamin E or any other essential fatty acids at least three days to one week before and after treatment. Talk to your primary physician before discontinuing any medications.
- Avoid alcohol, caffeine, niacin supplements and cigarettes 24-48 hours before and after your filler treatment. These may increase your risk of bruising and swelling.

FAQs
Can filler be dissolved?
Yes. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved using hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down HA. This is available at Skin Pharm if needed. Results from dissolving are visible within 24-48 hours. Note: permanent or non-HA fillers cannot be dissolved.
What is filler made of?
Most fillers use hyaluronic acid (HA), naturally occurring in the body. HA attracts water to restore volume and is biodegradable. Skin Pharm uses FDA-approved Juvederm and Restylane fillers, both of which contain lidocaine to minimize discomfort.
What are dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that restore volume, smooth lines, and contour facial features. Most use hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in the body. Results are immediate and temporary. Skin Pharm uses Juvederm and Restylane product lines.
How much does filler cost at Skin Pharm?
Pricing varies by clinic and product used. Filler is typically priced per syringe. Find the Skin Pharm clinic closest to you!
What’s the downtime like?
It’s common to experience redness, swelling, bruising and soreness immediately after treatment, so keep that in mind if you’re planning to return to work afterward. We recommend scheduling injections around your work schedule if you’re concerned about social downtime.
