Dermal filler treatments are very simple and require little in the way of preparation. However, in order to have to most comfortable treatment possible it may help to bear in mind the following things.

Keeping healthy is pivotal to the success of most cosmetic treatments. The more healthy your body, the better it will respond to your procedure. This is no different for dermal filler procedures. You can ensure you stay healthy by exercising regularly and eating a healthy diet. This will ensure that your body heals itself as fast as possible. As recovery from dermal filler treatment can be as rapid as an hour or two, this can make your recovery almost non-existent. It is also important to keep the area of your skin that is going to be treated clean and healthy. Drinking plenty of water, observing a good skincare routine and moisturising regularly will prime your skin for the treatment. Having healthy skin will avoid your pores being damaged during the injection and decrease the necessary healing time. Having bad skin can lead to the injection being more painful than normal. Equally, if you have an existing skin condition it may not be worth your while to have a dermal filler until it is under control. Spending large sums of money on fillers while your skin may still be likely to scar is not a good idea.


Perhaps one of the best ways to prepare for your acne scar treatment with dermal fillers, is to make sure you are entirely comfortable and confident about the procedure. Understanding how dermal fillers work will allow you to question your practitioner and allow you to get the best treatment possible. Understanding what is going on may help you to stay calm during the injection, which may reduce the pain and necessary recovery time, all thanks to a reduction in your stress levels.
