Preparing for Your Dermal Filler Appontment

At Touch of Beauty, your comfort, safety, and understanding are priorities. Before receiving dermal filler treatment, it’s important to be informed about what to expect and how to prepare to support a smooth and safe experience.

Consultation & Safety Review

Prior to any dermal filler treatment, a consultation is required. During this visit, your nurse will:

• Review your medical history and current medications

• Discuss your aesthetic concerns and treatment goals

• Assess your facial anatomy and areas you would like to address

• Explain treatment options, alternatives, and any relevant precautions

• Review potential risks, after-care guidance, and expected experiences

This consultation ensures that any treatment offered is appropriate and aligns with your needs.

Before Your Appointment

To help support a safe procedure and minimize the chances of temporary responses such as bruising, tenderness, or swelling:

• Hydration & Nutrition: Ensure you are well-hydrated and have eaten prior to your appointment.

• Bloodthinning Medications & Supplements: If you take medications or supplements (e.g., NSAIDs or certain vitamins/herbal products) that can affect clotting, discuss these with your nurse during your consultation.

• Skin Condition: If you have irritation, rash, cold sores, or an active skin condition near proposed treatment areas, inform us in advance so your nurse can assess whether the appointment should proceed.

• Illness or Recent Procedures: Notify the clinic if you’ve had a recent illness, dental work, infection, vaccine, or if you’re taking antibiotics, as these may affect timing.

Your clinician will review any necessary adjustments to your appointment during your consultation.

On the Day of Treatment

When you arrive:

• Your nurse will confirm your health history and re-assess the treatment area.

• The targeted areas will be cleansed using clinical protocols.

• Topical measures to support comfort may be offered when appropriate.

• Injections are administered using sterile technique and professional standards.

Your nurse will take time to ensure you are informed about each step and comfortable with the plan before proceeding.

Planning Around Events & Scheduling

If you have an important event or travel scheduled, it’s helpful to discuss timing during your consultation. Individuals may respond differently to treatments, and planning ahead allows us to support you in choosing an appointment that fits your schedule and expectations.

Eligibility & Safety Considerations

Dermal filler treatments are not suitable for everyone. Factors such as medical conditions, allergy profiles, medications, pregnancy, or breastfeeding may affect eligibility.

Your nurse will assess these elements and discuss relevant safety considerations so that you can make an informed decision.
