FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
We answer all your questions about Virtue products and treatments
Aesthetic treatments can be a new experience for some, and whether you have been doing it for years, or thinking about getting started, it is normal to have questions.
Virtue has answered a number of questions frequently asked by patients about Virtue dermal fillers, but also the treatment in general.
AESTHETIC TREATMENTS WITH DERMAL FILLERS
What happens during an aesthetic procedure?
WHO CAN INJECT DERMAL FILLERS?
Injecting Virtue is a medical procedure and should only be performed in a medical clinic by a properly trained and certified medical professional.
This person must have good anatomical knowledge and injection techniques with hyaluronic acid, be able to answer all your questions and also explain the risks of this type of treatment, as well as the possible side effects.
ARE HA INJECTIONS COMPATIBLE WITH OTHER AESTHETIC TREATMENTS?
Before starting or combining different aesthetic treatments, it is important to discuss with your practitioner. Treatments are different and some can be complementary when administered by a professional, and others not so much.
Usually, it is best to wait after an injection before starting another aesthetic treatment, for example: laser, peeling or dermabrasion.
IS THE TREATMENT PAINFUL?
Injecting hyaluronic acid may cause some slight discomfort or pain depending on the individual.
To make the procedure more comfortable for the patient, the Virtue range contains products with or without an anaesthetic*, Lidocaine Hydrochloride Monohydrate.
BEFORE HYALURONIC ACID INJECTIONS
What you should know before getting treated with HA
WHAT AGE CAN WE START INJECTIONS?
Each country has their own specific legislations on this matter when it comes to hyaluronic acid injectable products as they are considered medical devices.
However, Virtue recommends that only adults of legal age receive Virtue dermal filler injections. Once patients have reached adulthood, there is no limit in age to receive HA treatments.
WHAT ARE THE PRECAUTIONS FOR A HA INJECTION?
Some precautions need to be kept in mind before arriving to your Virtue injection treatment:
• Avoid taking Aspirin, NSAIDs, Platelet Aggregation Inhibiting Drugs, Anticoagulants or Vitamin c in the week preceding the injection appointment, as many of these have the potential to increase the risk of bruising.
HOW LONG DO Virtue ® PRODUCTS LAST?
The movements and dynamics of the face change depending on the area. Certain areas require more frequent attention than others. However, it is not just the movements of the face that affect the longevity of a dermal filler, but also the depth of injection, the type of product used (volumizing or hydrating), the thickness of the skin and even the level of correction required.
