Other than avoiding intense sunlight, heat, or cold for the first few days after a dermal filler treatment, there are very few aftercare measures required. After your appointment, you’ll be able to drive home and resume your normal life. You will gradually see your results improve over the next week to two weeks. Some areas of the face will have more immediate reactions than others, such as swelling or bruising. Dr. Amato recommends using an ice pack periodically, and avoiding blood thinners or Arnica before treatment if you bruise easily.
