Derma fillers are used to correct wrinkles and are injected under the skin. To ensure that you get the best possible result, there are special rules of conduct before and after the treatment. Find out here what to look out for.
What should be considered immediately after treatment with derma fillers?
Have you had treatment with Derma Filler? Then it is important to take the right approach in the hours, days and even weeks that follow, so that the active ingredient can develop optimally and you achieve the best possible result.
When injecting your wrinkles or plumping up certain areas of the face, gels with a proportion of hyaluronic acid or even botulinum toxin are usually used. The aim is to plump up the skin, supply it with moisture and reduce wrinkles.
If you are a smoker, you should not smoke for four to six hours after the treatment if possible. You should also not apply make-up for a while. Wait 24 hours before applying make-up to your skin again.
Tip: Your eye area was spared? You can achieve a great effect by lightly emphasizing your eyes, allowing you to avoid foundation, powder, and blush.
What else should I bear in mind during the first 24 hours after derma fillers?
After the application of the derma fillers, your body is busy processing the active ingredient. This requires a lot of energy. Therefore, avoid strenuous physical activity for 48 hours if possible.
In general, it is recommended not to do any sports for two days. Sport has a positive effect on your blood circulation. This is significantly boosted. However, this also increases the risk of bruising and swelling at the injection sites.
It is helpful to cool the treated area. You can use ice or dip a clean cloth in cold water.
Important: If you use ice, it must always be wrapped in a cloth. The ice must not be applied directly to the skin, as it can cause frostbite.
You should sleep on your back for the first few nights after using the products. This will prevent pressure on the treated areas.
What should I bear in mind in the one to two weeks following the treatment?
To ensure that you enjoy the effects of your derma filler treatment for as long as possible, here are a few tips for the four weeks following your treatment:
- Do not go to the sauna
Avoiding tanning beds
- Avoiding intense sun
The above activities have a direct effect on your skin. They irritate the skin surface, stimulate blood flow or challenge the immune system. This can cause the fillers not to be properly processed. To be on the safe side, you should avoid the above for at least a week.
General recommendations for a period of two weeks after treatment include avoiding invasive cosmetic treatments or other applications to the facial area where dermal fillers have been applied.
Laser therapy is also not recommended, regardless of the area of the body. If you are planning laser therapy, it should be performed no earlier than the day of the derma filler treatment.
It is also helpful to avoid treatments in the dental area, such as bleaching or tooth cleaning, for two weeks after the treatment.
What should be considered in the four to six weeks after application?
Even if the effect of the derma filler has already developed to a large extent after two weeks, you can still positively influence optimal healing.
Permanent make-up, microblading or tattoos should not be scheduled for at least four weeks. This also applies if you want to have laser treatments in the area where the derma fillers have been applied.
If possible, you should avoid surgery for at least six weeks. Surgery puts a strain on the body and can therefore affect the processing of the ingredients from derma fillers.
How can you achieve the best possible results?
If you follow the above guidelines after treatment with derma fillers, you will already be doing a great job of supporting the healing process. In addition, you can ensure optimal results by implementing further tips.
Drink enough water before and on the day of the application. A quantity of around two liters per day is recommended.
Even if it seems that massaging the treated areas provides relief from pressure and pain, do not do it. Facial massages should not be performed in the first few days after treatment. Talk to the practitioner about when they can be used again.
Get plenty of rest. Even if it doesn't seem like it, your body is still working after the treatment and will benefit from getting enough rest and sleep.
Important: Make sure you stop taking antibiotics and blood-thinning medication two weeks before derma filler treatment.
Conclusion on the first 24 hours after the application of derma fillers
The success of an application with a derma filler also depends, among other things, on your behavior in the first hours, days and weeks afterwards. Especially in the 24 hours after the treatment, your body needs rest. You can cool the affected area.
Refraining from wearing make-up will prevent further irritation of the skin. You should also avoid all exertion. This applies in particular to sports or other physical exertion in the first 48 hours, as these put a strain on your body and also increase blood flow.
FAQ – What to do after treatment with Derma Filler
Can I apply skincare products?
You should check with your practitioner whether the treated area can be treated with skincare products. They will let you know exactly what to look out for. If you use skincare products, they must not be massaged into the skin for the first 48 hours.
Why am I not allowed to take blood thinners?
Injecting a derma filler is an intervention that requires a reaction from your body. The active ingredient enters the skin via a fine syringe. Blood thinners increase the risk of swelling, increased bleeding or hematomas.
Why can't I smoke immediately after the application?
Smoking has a negative effect on wound healing and can increase the risk of swelling or even infection at the injection site. It is therefore important to refrain from smoking for a few hours.
