There is a general consensus that the body eventually absorbs the substance within six to 18 months depending on the individual, cases can differ due to a wide range of factors.

At SKYN® the product our injectors use is made of a non-animal crystal-clear biodegradable gel, a substance that occurs naturally in the body. However, being a non-surgical cosmetic procedure, cheek fillers can carry risks. Common reactions to dermal or cheek filler injections can include swelling, irritation, redness or bruising. More serious side-effects are a rarity, they could include allergic reactions, filler blindness or occlusions.

This demonstrates the importance of trusting your injector, and their legitimacy. At SKYN® take reassurance that you are in the presence of medically trained Talent. During your complimentary initial consult, you will have the opportunity to talk through any concerns you may have regarding the safety of cheek fillers.

Bruising is a common reaction to cheek fillers – unrelated to the skill of your injector. Areas such as the lips are especially vulnerable to cosmetic injecting as they are highly vascular.

You will be given an ice pack post-treatment, which is your best defence against bruising and swelling. Iron supplements or Vitamin C are believed to increase the bodies wound healing capabilities, so may reduce the effects of bruising. It is believed that medication’s such as Aspirin, pain killers, or high dosages of Vitamin E could increase chances of bruising.

Exercise post-treatment, or anything that increases your heart rate which increases blood flow to the area, could also contribute to bruising. Otherwise, bruising should subside within 2-4 days post-treatment.

You may return to normal activities after your treatment, although aftercare steps we would recommend include:

• Icing the treated area
• Refraining from vigorous exercise, sun exposure or heat
• Rubbing or pressing on the area
• Applying makeup for the first 8 hours post-treatment.

It is also recommended to avoid consumption of alcohol, spicy food, cigarettes or substances that may cause irritation or swelling within the first 24-48 hours.
