1. Apply Iced Gauze
After your dermal filler treatment, you may experience some swelling or discomfort in the treated area. Applying iced gauze can help reduce swelling and soothe the skin. Simply wrap some gauze around ice cubes or a cold pack and gently apply it to the treated area for about 10-15 minutes at a time.
2. Patience is Key
While you may notice immediate results from your dermal filler treatment, it can take up to 14 days for the filler to fully settle into your skin. So, don’t panic if you don’t see the final outcome right away. Give it time, and you’ll soon be flaunting your fabulous new look!
3. Hands Off!
Resist the urge to touch or manipulate the treated area for at least 4 hours after your treatment. Avoid rubbing, massaging, or applying makeup to the area during this time. This will help prevent any irritation or displacement of the filler, allowing it to settle properly.
4. Longevity of Results
Dermal fillers aren’t permanent, but they can last quite a while. Depending on the type of filler used and your body’s response, results can last anywhere between 6 to 18 months. Regular maintenance appointments can help prolong the effects, so be sure to discuss a treatment plan with your provider.
Taking care of yourself after a dermal filler treatment is essential for achieving the best possible results. Remember to follow these guidelines and, if you have any concerns or questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to your provider. Here’s to looking and feeling your absolute best!
