Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does It Hurt To Get The Injections?
Like all procedures, it is not without pain. There are things that can be done to ease some of the pain such as topical anesthetics. More often than not people are fine without it.
Will There Be Any Bruising?
Yes, there can be some bruising although it usually goes away within two weeks. It can be helped to avoid bruising by discontinuing the use of blood thinners like aspirin, Advil, Motrin and alleve among others, a week or two before the injections.
I’ve Heard Of People That Get Lumps After These Injections Is This Something I Should Worry About?
Some lumps are common depending on the product and the area of treatment. They usually go away for a couple of weeks and if they don’t you should come bac to The Naked Truth and have the doctor take a look, perhaps he just needs to massage them out for you.
Is There Any Down Time?
This question is up for debate and really is case by case. We’ve noticed that most people just carry on with their day and others feel the need to hide out if there is any swelling as they don’t want to explain to colleagues for example what they were doing on their lunch break. Honestly, anyone that feels the need to critique another individual’s personal choice doesn’t deserve the concern in the first place.
Side Effects? Risks?
Both, yep! Like anything, there is always a little risk and some possible side effects. They vary slightly from filler to filler but to list a few of them, they are acne-like skin eruptions, asymmetry, bruising, bleeding, swelling, damage to the skin that may result in scarring.
Infection, lumps, palpability of the filler under the skin surface, itchy skin rash, under / over-correction of wrinkles, blindness, skin necrosis from loss of blood flow. Of course, in the case of even the slightest complication, you would contact The Naked Truth so we can help.
