Many first-time patients are concerned with how their faces will look after dermal filler treatment. A qualified and experienced clinician will take all the imperative precautions to ensure your injections are performed properly, while utilizing the most advanced techniques available. But it doesn’t end there. As a patient, dermal filler aftercare is very important to help your skin recover as quickly as possible and to minimize bruising and swelling. Each patient is advised to adhere to the following dermal filler aftercare instructions to facilitate the proper healing process. The closer that you follow these steps, the faster and smoother your recovery will be: - Avoid touching the treated areas - Ice the area to reduce swelling - Avoid blood thinning medications - Refrain from strenuous exercise for 12 hours - Avoid intense heat such as a tanning bed, sauna, or steam room - Avoid alcohol for 48 hours - Sleep on your back for the next two nights - Avoid other cosmetics or medical procedures - Discontinue skincare products with active ingredients If you or someone you know is looking to improve their appearance and reduce the signs of aging, come to Cara Mia Med Spa!
