Areas to assess
Discuss deeper nasolabial folds when a staged plan and follow-up assessment suit your schedule and expectations.

What the procedure is like

  1. 1Discuss the area, skin thickness, previous procedures, allergies and medicines with the doctor.
  2. 2Compare the product’s intended use, realistic goals, limitations and total cost.
  3. 3After appropriate comfort measures and cleansing, the doctor treats the agreed areas.
  4. 4Receive aftercare and contact instructions, and arrange an appropriate review.

Appointment length depends on consultation, numbing and treatment extent. Tell us your available time and important plans when booking.

Recovery & aftercare

  • Injection marks, redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness or temporary bumps can occur; recovery varies.
  • Avoid strong irritation, overheating and strenuous exercise while the skin settles. Follow your instructions for washing and makeup.
  • Massage and pressure advice differs by product. Follow your clinician’s instructions rather than another product’s routine.

What to expect over time

A general guide to how the days and months after treatment usually unfold. Results vary by individual.

  1. Immediately

    Initial swelling and fullness are not the final result.

  2. Early recovery

    Monitor bruising, swelling and injection marks. Contact the clinic if symptoms worsen or persist.

  3. Review Olidia

    Collagen-stimulating treatments are assessed over weeks to months. Fullness on the treatment day does not establish the final effect. Compare photographs taken under consistent conditions and findings at review.

  4. Next steps

    Plan any further session only after assessing the response and recovery.

Sessions & results

Session count and spacing depend on examination, the specific product instructions and your response. Allow recovery time before an important event or journey.

Safety & considerations

Possible reactions

  • Infection, persistent nodules, unevenness, inflammation or allergic reactions can occur.
  • Injections carry rare but serious risks including vascular injury or blockage and tissue damage.

When to take extra care

  • Disclose pregnancy or breastfeeding, allergies, immune conditions, medicines, previous fillers and threads.
  • Active inflammation or infection at the site needs assessment before treatment is scheduled.

Worsening pain, pale or mottled skin, visual symptoms or breathing difficulty need urgent medical attention. Outcomes and duration vary; a specific result is not guaranteed.
