Before & After: What to Expect from Your First Filler Appointment

So, you’re thinking about getting dermal fillers — but not sure what actually happens before, during, and after your appointment? You’re not alone.

At 1Face Skin Clinic, many of our first-time clients tell us they’re curious (and a little nervous!) about what to expect. The truth? Fillers are one of the most transformative yet natural-looking ways to refresh your appearance — when done by experienced, medically trained professionals.

Here’s your complete guide to what happens before and after your first filler appointment, so you can feel confident, informed, and excited about your results.

🧖‍♀️ Before Your Appointment: Consultation & Preparation

Every great result starts with a personalized consultation. At 1Face Skin Clinic, we begin by assessing your facial structure, skin quality, and goals to design a treatment plan that enhances your natural beauty — not changes it.

During your consultation, we’ll:

Discuss your concerns (volume loss, definition, fine lines, etc.)
✨ Map out the areas we’ll treat (such as lips, cheeks, chin, or jawline)
✨ Explain product options, expected results, and aftercare
✨ Answer all your questions — no pressure, no jargon

Tip:
Avoid alcohol, aspirin, or ibuprofen for 24–48 hours before your appointment to minimize bruising. And come with clean, makeup-free skin.

💉 During the Treatment: Subtle, Precise, and Comfortable

On the day of your treatment, we’ll start by cleansing the area and applying a topical numbing cream to ensure comfort. Our injectors use ultra-fine needles or cannulas for maximum precision and minimal discomfort.

Depending on your treatment areas, your appointment typically takes 30–60 minutes. Most patients describe the sensation as a light pressure or small pinch — very manageable, especially with our gentle techniques.

At 1Face Skin Clinic, we take a less-is-more approach. We focus on natural balance, symmetry, and softness — enhancing your existing features, not overfilling them.

🌸 Immediately After: The “Fresh” Phase

You’ll see results instantly, though your final look will refine over the next week as any swelling subsides.

It’s completely normal to experience:
💧 Mild swelling or tenderness
💋 Slight redness at injection points
🌿 Tiny bruises (if any — these fade quickly)

Most clients return to their normal activities the same day. Just avoid heavy workouts, alcohol, and saunas for 24 hours.

You can apply mineral makeup after 12–24 hours if needed, but most clients love their immediate glow so much they don’t even bother!

✨ 1–2 Weeks Later: The Final Results

Once any swelling has settled, you’ll see your beautifully refined results — whether that’s fuller lips, sculpted cheeks, or a softer, smoother contour.

At 1Face Skin Clinic, our results are intentionally subtle and tailored. You’ll look refreshed, more confident, and still completely like you.

We’ll schedule a follow-up appointment to review your outcome and make small touch-ups if needed — because perfection is in the details.

🧬 How Long Do Fillers Last?

Depending on the type and placement, dermal fillers typically last between 6–18 months. Maintaining your results is easy with regular top-ups — and over time, many clients find they need less product to maintain their look.

Our expert team will guide you on a maintenance plan that fits your goals and lifestyle.
