Volume enhancement treatments can be performed during your lunch break, after work or at the start of your weekend. As a walk in, walk out procedure, you can go back to your daily routine straight after a volume restoring treatment. You may experience slight redness, bruising, swelling and tenderness in the treatment areas. Your medical professional will advise any specific issues to take care of. To avoid sun damage it’s important to protect your skin by using a high SPF sunscreen.
If you’re experiencing swelling or tenderness, apply a cool compress for 10 minutes every hour. Don’t apply the ice or cool compress directly on your skin; wrap it in a small towel. Avoiding strenuous exercise for 24 hours after having a volume enhancement treatment can help reduce any swelling or tenderness.
To reduce any swelling the next day, it’s a good idea to avoid alcohol and smoking for 24 hours after your treatment. If you’ve had volume enhancers in the nose, avoid wearing glasses for 24 hours after your injections.
