Aftercare
HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR NEW LOOK
Immediately after treatment you may notice a few of the following things:
- Swelling
- Bruising
- Needle puncture marks
- Asymmetry
- Tenderness or lumps
These issues above are common with dermal filler and should resolve over the next few days to weeks. Your final result will be seen at about 4 weeks after treatment, and you can be reviewed to see if further treatments are required to achieve the planned results.
Immediately after the injections your face will be cleaned. You should not touch your face for 6 hours. After this you may clean your skin with water and a gentle cleanser.
Things to Avoid
- Do not expose the area to intense heat (i.e. saunas, tanning)
- Avoid pressure on the treated areas for the first few nights (i.e. sleep on back of possible)
- Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours
- Avoid alcohol for 24 hours
- Do not use AHA, Retinols/Vitamin C for 24 hours
- Avoid facials, facial waxing, Glycolic or AHA peels, IPL or energy based treatments and microdermabrasion for two weeks after treatment
Pain is usually mild and sometimes moderate after filler injections. There are areas which can be quite painful like the chin and the lips. Pain relief such as paracetamol may be taken. A cold compress applied the first 24 hours after injections may help to reduce the amount of swelling. Some patients also use arnica before and after treatment to reduce bruising.
