ABOUT DERMAL FILLER PROCEDURE: Lip augmentation/Face volumetry is a cosmetic procedure. These days, an injectable dermal filler is the most commonly used method of lip augmentation/face volumetry. There are many types of dermal fillers that can be injected in your lips/face. But the most common fillers today are products that contain substances similar to hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the body. It helps increase volume in your lips. These types of dermal fillers are sometimes called “hyaluronic acid fillers.”

CONTRAIDICATIONS: Before undergoing lip augmentation/face volumetry you should be in good health and a non-smoker. You may not be a candidate for lip augmentation/face volumetry if you are :

*Pregnant , breast-feeding, you have cancer and autoimmune diseases, acne and skin infections, exacerbation of chronic diseases, hemophilia, skin inflammation in the area of presumed injections

*The skin’s tendency to form keloid scars

*Presence of permanent fillers in the corrected zones, such as silicone or biopolymers

*Allergy to the components of the agent

*Recent usage of laser or chemical peeling.

*Allergy to the acid and lidocaine

* An active infection such as oral herpes

* Diabets

* Lupus

* Blood- clotting problems

* If you have ever had a cold sore(oral herpes) any time in the past, you should tell your aesthetic technician before undergoing the procedure. If you have any known allergies or are allergic to lidocaine, tell your aesthetic technician before undergoing the procedure.

Also, tell your aesthetic technician about any medications you are taking, including prescription and over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements.

PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY CONTRAINDICATIONS! WILL IT HURT? A pre numb will be used for 5-15 minutes prior to the procedure to help minimise any initial discomfort. Here at Velvet Aesthetics we use only the best products on the market, ensuring the smoothest of consistency and ease of injection.

WILL THERE BE SWELLING? You may experience redness, bruising or swelling in the injected area. These effects should not last longer than 2 weeks. Light makeup can be applied 24 hours after procedure. If you easly bruising – please take arnica pills 1 week before your appointment.

LONGEVITY/DURATION: Every individual is different. What may give an immediate result on one client may take two or three sessions to achieve on another. Likewise, what may last 1 year on one client may last less than 12 weeks on another. Unfortunately, we cannot predict how many sessions each individual will need to achieve their desired result and therefore cannot be held accountable if several sessions are needed. The results of your treatment durability are influenced by several genetic, lifestyle factors, skin type, metabolism etc completely out of our control. Aesthetics is an art process – not an exact science. Filler take time to build up, regardless of what effect you want to achieve. Please be patient and expect to visit frequently for top ups (regular price) over the first year to build a base. This will help ensure your treatment area lasts longer and once that base is in place – should need less maintenance in the future. Please remember we can only enhance our natural future. Is it not possible to completely change them. Any treatment should be looking at as improvement rather than a cure. Is it not always possible to create the desired look if your facial anatomy and genetics do not allow. Please remember our faces/lips are not symmetrical and sometimes no amount of filler can correct this – in some case it may make it appear worse. Your aesthetic practitioner will best advice on the day of the treatment but as always there is no guarantee. If you will be unsatisfied with the results and required dissolving, your aesthetic practitioner will not cover any expenses. Also please remember, that is not your final result – Any injection causes an inflammatory response. This can easily cause disappointment over the following weeks because as the swelling subsides, the treatment area may look significantly less plump than it looked immediately after injection. The filler has not dissolved nor disappeared, you have not wasted your money. The filler has simply sunken and formed a layer at the base of your treatment area. As mentioned before many clients find they need two or three sessions in order to layer filler on top of one another – until the filler no longer has room to sink – leaving you with a fuller look. It is a process, not just a procedure.

POSSIBLE REACTIONS CONNECTED WITH INJECTION: Before undergoing this procedure, understanding the risks is essential. No procedure is completely risk-free. The following risks of injection may occur: redness, swellings, pain, itching, bruising, tenderness at the sites of the injections. Side effects of hyaluronic acid fillers are temporary and should only last a few days. I am also aware that I can have a lumps even after full healing process. Typically, the final result is visible in about 50-60 days after your injections.

UNWANED SYMPTOMS: The most common unwanted symptoms that may occur after using hyaluronic gel to1 in 10000 people in 1 in 2000 treatments are as follows: swellings, bruising, Erythema, ‘thick ‘feeling at or under the skin, pain and tenderness. Uncommon reactions that are reported to be 1 to 50000 treatments include: infections, inflammatory reactions, discolouration, lumps and bumps. Very rare reactions that can occur post procedure include: itching, hypersensitivity, reactivation of herpes (cold sores), acne-like lesions, Granuloma formation, Lumpiness, bumps puffiness, swelling of the face, urticaria, inflammatory skin disease, atrophic epidermis, scarring, short-time effect, ischaemia, localized necrosis and telangiectasia. In extremely rare, single cases, short-term visual impairments have been reported as a result of accidental intra-arterial filler injection in the upper areas of the face. There has also been noted inflammatory reaction with symptoms such as redness, swellings, hypersensitiveness and lumpiness at the sites of the injections. These unwanted symptoms may occur straight or even 2 to 4 weeks after the procedure. In the areas affected by inflammation short-term corticosteroids treatment is recommended. If clinical symptoms or reactions already occurred at an earlier stage, the cause of such reaction should be considered first before a decision is made in relation to the treatment. In clinical studies of the black population the change of the pigmentation has been reported as a result of proinflammatory lesions. Before using the product, it is necessary to inform the client about potential side effects of the product.

SIDE EFFECTS AND RISKS: Side effects of hyaluronic acid fillers are temporary and should only last a few days. They may include: * Bleeding from the injection sites * Swelling and bruising * Redness and tenderness at the site of the injection * Reactivation of cold sores or fever blisters (herpes simplex) of the lips or area surrounding the lips

MANAGING EXPECTATIONS: Please remember we can only enhance our natural features. It is not possible to completely change them. Any treatment should be looked at as an improvement rather than a cure. Please have realistic expectations as to what can be achieved. We are only able to work with your existing anatomy and tissues as they are. We are not able to change your face, nor re- produce work we have done on others, on yourself. Your face is unique. As with any treatment it comes with risks. It is your responsibility to familiarise yourself with these risks in order for you to make an informed decision. Although good results are expected, it is possible that after treatment that the face may appear uneven as some areas may be greater affected by the product than others. It is also possible that the treatment does not last as long as expected. The results of your dermal filler treatment is dependant on several factors including but not limited too: genetics, metabolism, age, medical history and natural anatomy. It is because of this that there is no guarantee on the results that can be obtained through treatment. As with any treatment, dissatisfaction remains a real risk. So is not always possible to create the desired look if your facial anatomy and genetics do not allow. Please remember our lips/faces are not symmetrical and sometimes no amount of filler can correct this – in some cases it may make it appear worse. Your technician will best advise on the day of your treatment but as always there is no guarantee. If you have previous filler in your lips – please remember that we can’t ‚repair’ – we advice to dissolve your lips first. If you have had your lips dissolved please also remember that is not possible to achieve same results as on ‘virgin’ (never injected lips before) also please remember that your organism may dissolve injected HA much faster and you may need more appointments to build your lips than the person with virgin lips. After dissolving we advice to wait minimum 6 – 8 weeks– that’s how long takes your lip tissue healing process. (as long as you will wait, you will have less chance for a future filler migration)
