Understanding Filler Treatment

Filler treatments involve the injection of hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers to restore volume, enhance contours, and rejuvenate the skin's appearance. Following your filler treatment, it's essential to adhere to specific aftercare guidelines to promote healing and ensure optimal results.

Immediate Post-Treatment Care

Immediately following your filler treatment, take the following steps to ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery:

• Avoid Excessive Alcohol, Sweating, or Pain Relievers: Avoid excessive alcohol, sweating, or pain relievers (except Tylenol) for 24 hours.‍
• Avoid Makeup: No makeup for 24 hours to allow the skin to seal and avoid contamination.

Long-Term Aftercare Guidelines

In the days and weeks following your filler treatment, incorporate the following aftercare practices into your skincare routine to optimize results and ensure prolonged efficacy:

• Keep the Area Clean and Dry: Keep the treated area clean and dry.‍
• Normal Skincare Routine: You may continue with your normal skincare routine.‍
• Sun Protection: Wear a physical sunblock (with Titanium Dioxide and/or Zinc Oxide) at the treatment site for up to 72 hours.

Managing Potential Side Effects

While filler treatments are generally well-tolerated, it's important to be aware of potential side effects and take appropriate measures to manage them:

• Bruising: Mild bruising at the injection site is common and typically resolves within a few days. Apply arnica gel or cream to minimize bruising and promote healing.
• Swelling: Mild swelling may occur following treatment, particularly around the injection site. Apply cold compresses and avoid salty foods to reduce swelling.
• Redness: Temporary redness or erythema at the injection site is normal and should subside within a few hours post-treatment. Avoid harsh skincare products and cosmetics that may exacerbate redness.
