It’s very important that everyone has a thorough and complete medical assessment before any treatment.

Fillers are made of hyaluronic acid but not all fillers are created equal. There are over 200 brands of filler available on the UK commercial market but only a very small handful are FDA/CE approved for human safety. Dr Noor only ever uses fillers that are FDA/CE approved which means they have been vigorously tested in human tissue and checked for efficacy and longevity. All fillers used in clinic are ordered through quality UK Aesthetic Pharmacies (Health Xchange, Wigmore Pharmacy and MedFX) to ensure that there can be no counterfeit product or chain. All products used in your treatments are recorded with batch and expiry numbers documented for safety. Many practitioners use poor quality fillers that are not FDA approved that are purchased off sites like Alibaba which is unethical and unsafe. These are often sourced from unregistered places have not been tested on humans for tissue compatibility and could pose a potential hazard or danger. Please always be sure to ask your practitioner about the quality of the products they use in treatments because once it’s injected into the tissue it needs to integrate well and not cause reactions and inflammation.

• Discomfort is typically minimal. We use fine needles and may apply a topical anesthetic cream to the treatment area. Some fillers also contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic, to further enhance comfort.

• The procedure time varies depending on the areas being treated, but typically ranges from 20 to 60 minutes.

The duration of results varies depending on the type of filler used, the area treated, and individual factors. Generally, results can last from 6 to 18 months.

Results are often visible immediately after the injection. However, some swelling or bruising may be present initially. The final results will become apparent once any swelling has subsided, usually within a few days to a week.

Most patients experience minimal downtime and can return to their normal activities immediately. However, we recommend avoiding:

• Strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours

• Excessive sun exposure for 24-48 hours

• Alcohol consumption for 24-48 hours

Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. If necessary, this can be used to adjust or reverse the results.

To minimize the risk of bruising, avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements (such as aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E, and fish oil) for a few days before your appointment, if safe to do so.
* Inform your practitioner of any medical conditions, allergies, or medications you are taking.

Your practitioner will provide specific aftercare instructions, which may include: * Applying a cold compress to reduce swelling * Avoiding touching or massaging the treated area for a few hours * Avoiding strenuous exercise, excessive heat, and sun exposure for 24-48 hours * Gentle cleansing of the treated area

As mentioned, common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, and tenderness.

* Rare side effects may include:
* Infection
* Allergic reaction
* Lumps or nodules
* Vascular occlusion (a rare but serious complication)

A good candidate is someone who wants to enhance their appearance, address signs of aging, or improve facial symmetry without undergoing surgery. A consultation with our practitioners will help determine if this treatment is suitable for you.
