Immediately After Treatment

  • Avoid Touching or Massaging: Do not touch, press, or rub the treated area for at least 6 hours to prevent moving the filler.

  • Apply Cool Compress: Use a clean, cool compress or ice pack (wrapped in a cloth) to minimize swelling and bruising. Apply for 10-15 minutes at a time, several times as needed.

  • Stay Upright: Keep your head elevated for at least 4 hours after treatment. Avoid lying flat or bending over.

  • Limit Facial Movement: Refrain from making exaggerated facial expressions for the rest of the day.

Within the First 24 Hours

  • Avoid Makeup & Skincare Products: Do not apply makeup, retinoids, or harsh skincare products to the treated area. Use only gentle, hydrating cleansers and moisturizers.

  • Skip Alcohol & Blood Thinners: Avoid alcohol, aspirin, NSAIDs (e.g., ibuprofen), and fish oil to minimize bruising.

  • No Heat Exposure: Stay away from hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, and sun exposure.

Following Days (2-7 Days Post-Treatment)

  • Monitor for Swelling & Bruising: Mild bruising, redness, and swelling are common and should resolve within a few days.

  • Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help your filler settle evenly.

  • Use Sunscreen: Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher daily to protect your skin and prevent pigmentation.

  • Avoid Strenuous Exercise: Refrain from heavy workouts or activities that cause excessive sweating for 48 hours.

What to Avoid

  • Sun Exposure: Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 2 weeks to prevent complications. Wear a hat and SPF when outdoors.

  • Facial Treatments: Avoid facials, laser treatments, microneedling, and chemical peels for 2 weeks post-treatment.

  • Sleeping on Your Face: Try to sleep on your back with your head elevated for at least 2-3 nights to avoid pressure on the treated area.

  • Hot Environments: Avoid prolonged exposure to heat sources, such as hot tubs, saunas, and tanning beds.
