One of the biggest advantages of dermal fillers is that treatment can be performed quickly over your lunch break and requires no downtime or recovery. Patients can quickly resume their normal activities with minimal restrictions. After your session, you may experience mild swelling, redness, and tenderness at the injection sites. These symptoms tend to fade quickly and can be well managed with an ice pack or Tylenol.
After treatment, it is critical that you avoid rubbing, touching, or picking at your skin for the first 48 hours. Additionally, you will be asked to postpone strenuous activity for one to two days and avoid excessive heat, such as saunas, tanning beds, hot tubs, and steam rooms. Finally, you are advised to avoid alcohol for the first 24 hours after your session, as drinking can increase your risk of bruising.
