Filler program 5 things to avoid after injection

Precautions After Filler Injections

To ensure optimal results and minimize complications after filler injections, it’s crucial to follow these guidelines:

1. Avoid Touching the Injected Area:

   • Refrain from touching the treated area with bare hands or using any tools that may exert pressure. This prevents the filler from shifting out of place.
   • Avoid picking or scratching the area to reduce the risk of infection and irritation.
   • If cleansing is necessary, use gentle, fragrance-free products and pat dry.

2. Limit Strenuous Exercise:

   • Avoid intense workouts like running, weightlifting, or any activity that significantly increases heart rate for the first few days.
   • Strenuous exercise can elevate blood pressure and worsen swelling.
   • Opt for light activities like walking or gentle stretching to promote circulation without causing discomfort.

3. Avoid Makeup on the Injected Area:

   • Refrain from applying makeup or skincare products directly on the injection site for at least 24 hours.
   • The needle punctures can create tiny openings in the skin, increasing the risk of infection.
   • Use hypoallergenic products on other areas of the face if necessary.

4. Avoid Excessive Heat:

   • Steer clear of activities that expose the skin to excessive heat, such as saunas, steam rooms, or prolonged sun exposure, for at least 48 hours.
   • Heat can cause the filler to break down prematurely.
   • Cold compresses can help reduce swelling without affecting the filler’s integrity.

5. Limit Alcohol and Nicotine:

   • Avoid alcohol and smoking for at least 48 hours following the procedure.
   • These substances can cause inflammation, dilate blood vessels, and prolong healing time.
   • They can also reduce the effectiveness of the filler.
