What to Do (and Not Do) After Fillers

Want to make those results last longer? Start with good habits immediately after your appointment. Some things to avoid are:

• Touching or pressing the treated areas: Touching or squeezing the skin could allow bacteria to enter, and it may displace the filler. Even something as simple as leaning your face on your hand can interfere with the final look.
• Intense exercise: Exercise raises your heart rate and blood pressure, which can lead to increased swelling and bruising. Giving your body a break for the first 24-48 hours allows the filler to integrate more smoothly.
• Harsh skincare products: Avoid anything with retinol, acids, or strong fragrances for at least 24 hours. These can irritate freshly treated skin and cause redness or peeling.
• Sleeping on your face: Avoid side or stomach sleeping for the first night. Propping yourself up helps reduce swelling and prevents accidentally rolling onto your face while the filler is still settling.
• Alcohol and salty foods: Both can lead to puffiness and dehydration, making it harder to evaluate your results and increasing the chance of swelling.

Long-Term Habits to Extend the Life of Your Fillers

These long-term habits that may help you maximize the lifespan of your fillers.

• Drink lots of water: Hyaluronic acid (HA) binds with water and holds up to 1000 times its weight in water, so it helps maintain the plumping and smoothing effects. Think of water as your filler’s best friend.
• Wear sunscreen when outdoors: UV rays can break down filler faster. Wearing SPF daily not only protects your investment, it also helps prevent further skin damage.
