Even if you’re not allergic, redness and bruising may occur post-procedure. This is perfectly normal, and should subside within a week. Dr. Lawton also recommends that you refrain from using aspirin or blood thinners a week before your injections, as these items can thin the blood – and no one wants that! Some patients experience minor discomfort during the injections, though this can be minimized through the use of ice and a numbing cream, such as lidocaine.

These non-surgical, non-invasive fillers can be a great boost to anyone’s look. With many options at your fingertips depending on your desired result, Dr. Lawton is happy to sit down with you to determine which one will have you looking your best!
