A Deeper Look into Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are a popular cosmetic treatment that add or restore lost volume to the face and help smooth out static facial wrinkles and skin folds. 

These FDA-approved fillers are made of hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally-occuring substance that keeps our skin plump and smooth. 

From plumping up thinning lips to reducing marionette lines and defining the jawline, dermal filler can help create a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

Post-Procedure Care

After receiving dermal fillers, it's crucial to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner. While every patient’s experience may differ, some common recommendations include:

• Refrain from touching or applying pressure to the treated area for 24 hours.
• Use ice to reduce swelling and discomfort.
• Avoid extreme heat and sun exposure for 48 hours.
• Abstain from alcohol and caffeine for 24 hours to prevent swelling.
• Keep your head elevated while sleeping to reduce swelling.

Caring for Your Skin

In addition to following post-procedure instructions, maintaining a good skincare routine is crucial to keeping your skin healthy and radiant. 

Here are some tips to help you care for your skin post-dermal fillers:

• Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water and regularly using a moisturizer.
• Use gentle, non-abrasive products to cleanse your skin, avoiding harsh scrubs or exfoliants that may irritate the treated area.
• Wear sunscreen to protect your skin from harmful UV rays and prevent premature aging.
• Get plenty of rest and exercise to keep your skin looking refreshed and healthy.
