After Care
Dermal fillers
Following your dermal filler treatment, you will feel tender, a little swollen and bruising may be apparent. This is all normal and should subside over the coming days. Below is a list of post-treatment instructions to promote healing.
-
Do not rub or touch the treatment areas for at least the next 4 – 6 hours to minimize your risk of infection.
-
No strenuous exercise for the next 24 – 48 hours
-
No other facial or aesthetic treatments to the area for a minimum of 2 weeks
-
No face down massages for the next 7 days.
-
No active skincare (retinoids/vitamin A / AHA’s) products for 24 hours after treatment.
-
Do not massage, press or push the areas injected unless otherwise directed by your practitioner.
