It’s important to us that you achieve the results you want, and we believe this starts with a great consultation. We’ll discuss the look that you want and talk about the best way to get you there on the Treatment day or you can opt in to book a separate appointment for a Filler Consultation! We’ll confirm the price, we’ll cover the products, techniques and we’ll let you know what to expect during the procedure. If you’d like to go ahead with treatment, we’ll look at your medical history to ensure that you’re safe to do so. The consultation is also a great opportunity for you to ask any questions if you’re unsure about anything at all! You can feel free to bring along any inspiration images to help us assist you further!
We use a product called Hyalase mixed with a Saline solution here at House of Riri. We’ll confirm if this is right for you and the look you want to achieve during your consultation. All our products are licensed for use in the UK and approved by insurers.
We use a strong topical cream on the skin before the treatment called Lidocaine Numbing cream which provides effective pain relief during the procedure. We also provide our clients with stress relied balls during treatment. Pain thresholds can vary from one client to the next but the majority of people who come here experience nothing more than some discomfort during their treatment.
Swelling and bruising is likely due to the insertion of a needle or cannula and the product that’s been injected. The blood supply within the face is made of thousands of vessels and capillaries which are very difficult to avoid, even for injectors as experienced as ours! We always take great care during treatment but some patients may bruise. We advise you to plan your appointment at least 2 weeks ahead of any event that you want to look your best for! It can take a couple of weeks for swelling and bruising to subside fully.
Yes and no! You’ll see swelling immediately after the procedure and bruising can appear 24 hours after the treatment. You can choose to have an anti-histamine tablet to minimise swelling. Recovery time can vary between patients but we say to allow at least two weeks for your body to recover properly after any injectable treatment, then you’ll see the final result!
Our practitioners are highly skilled individuals and not only do they know how to inject safely, they’re trained to be able to both diagnose and treat accordingly in the event of any complication during treatment. It’s very important that client’s follow all of the aftercare that is provided to ensure a fast, trouble free recovery!
It may take 1 session, but can also take up to 3 rounds of dissolving in order to dissolve your fillers to get your desirable results. Fillers tend to take longer to completely dissolve, despite having dissolving treatment as it varies on numerous factors such as - the filler used, the amount of filler your practitioner has had injected and how long ago you've had the procedure done before.
