ScalpaJect Pre and Post Procedure Instructions

For the procedure of Filler Enhancements, I will be using a natural hyaluronic acid product using
the ScalpaJect Pen needle free injection device. With this device, you will feel little to no pain
and little to no swelling.

Filler Enhancements Side Effects


Three of the most common side effects with any filler enhancement is swelling, bruising and
possibly small lumps or bead size bumps. However, with the ScalpaJect injections, these side
effects are minimal to none. In any case, please read the following information carefully...

Avoid Bruising
Although needle free injections seldom cause bruising, it can happen. With a little knowledge on
your part bruising can be minimized.
Bruising after Derma Fillers can’t be cured or fixed, other than to cover it with make-up, so the
goal with bruising is to prevent it in the first place. Here are a few tips on how to avoid filler
bruises that we provide to our patients.

(1) - No aspirin, Aleve, or Ibuprofen 1 week prior to your appointment (Tylenol is fine)
Do not take Vitamin E 1 week prior to injections. Your multivitamin is okay. Stop
alcohol 2 days prior to injections. No garlic 2 days prior to injections. Eat pineapple 2-3
times 1-2 days prior to injections. Take Arnica one day prior or morning of injections.
You can find it at most drugstores and often at Whole Foods. Drink plenty of water
before and after injections. Body dehydration is known to dissolve Hyaluronic Acid
fillers rather quickly. The more water you drink the longer the product will last in the
lips as Hyaluronic Acid molecules expand by retaining water a 1,000x its weight.

(2) - Lump or Bumps in Lips


Depending on thickness of filler product and the size of lips, a somewhat common side
effect of lip fillers are small lumps or tiny bumps. These are usually small bruises
underneath the filler, but the bruises can feel like a small lump or bump. Sometimes the
filler settles at injection site and can be smoothed out with a light lip massage after
injection. Massaging lips gently will help smooth any bumps or lumps, but if bruising is
present avoid the massage until bruising has diminished. I will go over the proper
massage technique used to help smooth out any product lumps or bumps. If lumps are
caused from bruising it’s best to leave lips alone and allow time to heal and settle on its
own. Most bumps and lumps settle after 7-10 days. Another side effect of lip-injections
that often appear in lips that have either been injected multiple times over or simply a
reaction to the HA filler is known as product bumps or cysts. These bumps typically
show up weeks or sometimes months after injection of filler. In this situation, the product
can be removed or dissolved using a few different types of techniques. These procedures
will be discussed with you in detail in person by your practitioner. With the ScalpaJect
these side effects are greatly minimized.
(3) - Swelling
Some swelling will occur. Icing and Arnica will help with swelling and bruising. 20
minutes on and 20 minutes off throughout the next few days after injection. It’s also
important to understand that the filler product once injected can also expand an additional
10% several hours after injection once the cross -inked filler molecules begin to absorb
the water in the body. Note that if swelling and expansion is not desired then it would be
best to avoid consuming liquids until swelling goes down. Arnica comes in both a topical
ointment and pill form and is a wonderful all-natural remedy for both bruising and
swelling. Again, with the ScalpaJect these side effects are greatly minimized.

(4) - Note to patients, Hyaluronic Acid is a natural substance we produce within our body
which promotes collagen. With age our bodies produce less and less. In the case of fillers,
the life span of Hyaluronic can last from anywhere from 3-12 months depending on type
of filler, the person and where it is injected. With the ScalpaJect we use fine line filler to
achieve a more natural and soft appearance and touch. The filler is injected into the
epidermal and upper derma layer of skin which is why there is little to no bleeding. With
the first application typical results may only last a month to 3 months at what point you
might notice the fullness has depleted. The good news is that with every injection session
you not only add additional Hyaluronic Acid building blocks, you encourage your own
collagen production thus producing longer lasting results.
