It is important to follow instructions about Dermal Filler aftercare.
Immediately after your dermal filler treatment you may notice a few of the following things:
Swelling
Bruising
Red needle puncture marks
Asymmetry
Tenderness
Itching in the area
These issues above are common with dermal filler aftercare, 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 you 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.
It is ideal to avoiding makeup on the day of the procedure
Things to avoid:
Do not expose the area to intense heat (eg solarium or sauna)
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 therapy or oil based make-up for 24 hours
Avoid facials, facial waxing, Glycolic or AHA peels, IPL or energy based treatments and microdermabrasion for two weeks after treatment. Please check with your physician before undergoing other facial treatments within this time
Swelling relief
Apply a cool compress for 10 minutes every hour on the day of treatment (do not apply ice directly on your skin). A cool compress applied regularly for the first 24 hours after injections may help to reduce the amount of swelling. Some patients use arnica before and after treatment to reduce the swelling.
Massage
Massage of the filler areas may or may not be advised by your doctor. Gentle massage may be used once the pain and tenderness has resolved and if advised by your doctor.
Retreatment
Retreatment should occur at any time between 1-6 months after a first treatment. Once peak filler has been achieved, and the patient is on maintenance injections, they might have filler once per year.
Early infections may occur after a few days after the treatment. The patient might notice increasing redness, tenderness, swelling, pain, heat, nodules or pus. Patients should see their doctor if this occurs.
