Tips for caring for your skin after fillers

Dermal fillers are a popular and effective treatment for enhancing facial features, smoothing out wrinkles, and restoring volume to the face. After receiving a dermal filler treatment, it is important to follow proper aftercare instructions in order to ensure the best possible results and minimize any potential side effects.

Here are some tips for caring for your skin after a dermal filler treatment:

  1. Avoid strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours after treatment. This includes activities that cause you to sweat, as sweat can irritate the treated area and cause swelling.
  2. Avoid heat exposure for at least 24 hours after treatment. This includes hot showers, saunas, and steam rooms.
  3. Avoid direct sunlight and tanning beds for at least 24 hours after treatment. Sun exposure can cause swelling and redness in the treated area. If you do need to go outside, make sure to wear a hat and apply sunscreen with a high SPF.
  4. Avoid alcohol, caffeine and vitamin E for at least 24 hours after treatment. These substances can increase blood flow and swelling in the treated area.
  5. Avoid makeup for at least 24 hours after treatment. This includes foundation, powder, and blush. If you do need to wear makeup, make sure to use a non-comedogenic formula to avoid clogging pores and causing breakouts.
  6. Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area for at least 24 hours after treatment. This can cause lead to poor results.
  7. Apply ice to the treated area as needed to reduce swelling and discomfort.
  8.  

    Keep the treated area clean and dry. Avoid getting water on the treated area for at least 24 hours after treatment.

  9. Eat pineapple, it contains an enzyme called bromelain, which triggers your body’s ability to fight pain and reduce swelling.

By following these aftercare instructions, you can help ensure that your dermal filler treatment is a success and that you experience minimal side effects. If you experience any serious pain then you should contact a professional immediately. If you have any concerns or questions about your treatment, be sure to contact your clinic for guidance.
