Injectable fillers have become a go-to option for non-surgical facial rejuvenation, offering subtle, natural-looking enhancements without downtime. Whether you’re looking to restore lost volume, smooth lines, or enhance facial contours, dermal fillers can deliver transformative results—with minimal disruption to your routine.
If you’re in the surrounding areas of South Tampa, St. Petersburg, or Wesley Chapel and considering injectable cosmetic fillers, here’s exactly what you can expect before, during, and after your treatment at TAO Wellness Med Spa in Tampa.
Before Your Filler Appointment: What to Know
Preparation helps ensure smooth results and an easy recovery. Here’s how to get ready:
- Avoid blood thinners like aspirin, ibuprofen, and alcohol for at least 48 hours prior, unless otherwise directed by your provider.
- Pause intense workouts and minimize sun exposure the day before your treatment.
- Be honest during your consultation—discuss your goals, medical history, and any previous cosmetic treatments.
We’ll guide you through the best options based on your anatomy and desired outcome. Whether you’re new to facial fillers or experienced, your plan is always tailored to you.
During Your Dermal Filler Procedure
The filler treatment process is typically quick and comfortable:
- Topical numbing cream may be applied to minimize discomfort.
- Your provider will strategically inject the chosen cosmetic fillers—like hyaluronic acid-based products—into areas of concern (cheeks, lips, nasolabial folds, etc.).
- The process usually takes 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the treatment areas.
Most patients describe the sensation as a mild pinch or pressure. You can return to most normal activities immediately afterward.
Aftercare and What to Expect Post-Treatment
Proper filler aftercare is key to maximizing your results and minimizing side effects.
Immediately After
- Expect mild swelling, redness, or tenderness at the injection sites—this usually resolves within a few days.
- Use ice packs gently and avoid makeup for the rest of the day.
- Do not rub or massage the treated areas unless instructed.
First 24–48 Hours
- Avoid strenuous exercise, heat exposure (saunas, hot yoga), and alcohol.
- Sleep with your head elevated.
- Stay hydrated and follow any personalized guidance from your provider.
Most patients begin to see their full before and after filler results within a week, with final results settling in after two weeks.
