Aesthetic Volume filler is one of the most popular treatments we perform at PMAC. If you’ve recently had a treatment with us, here is some useful information and aftercare advice.
Fillers often take up to a week to settle, sometimes longer, depending on what kind of filler was used, how much was used, and where it was used.
If you have had lip filler it can be normal for the lips to be bumpy, swollen or uneven looking for up to 14 days after your treatment. Filler in other areas of the face, such as cheeks, chin and jaw, may have little to no swelling or downtime.
- Apply ice to any treated areas
- Avoid blood thinners such as aspirin or anti-inflammatories
- Avoid sleeping on the treatment areas
- Stay upright for a few hours after treatments
- Avoid pressure on the treated areas for a few days
- No skin treatments or active skincare over injected sites
- Drink plenty of water
- Apply hirudoid or Arnica to bruises (we have Arnicare arnica balm for purchase at $17, which we recommend for patients who bruise very easily, this will last you for many treatments and can be applied before and after your appointment).
You can purchase Arnicare Balm in clinic, or online here.
- Bruising (mild)

- Swelling (minor, but can be more in the lip area)

Sculptra is a biostimulating dermal filler made from poly-L-lactic acid, used to stimulate collagen growth and add volume to skin, improving wrinkles and fine lines, especially in the mid-face and cheek area. Sculptra is injected into the skin. The results from Sculptra treatments develop gradually over several weeks as the collagen grows, and can last for up to two years. Sculptra is a safe and effective treatment when administered by a qualified and experienced medical professional.
