Dermal Filler Post Care 

POST CARE DERMAL FILLER 

 

  • Swelling, bruising, tenderness, numbness, and areas of firm nodules may occur. 

 

  • Cosmetic fillers are long lasting, but not permanent. Longevity depends on the areas treated and your body’s metabolism. 

 

  • DO NOT APPLY ANYTHING TO THE SKIN UNTIL THE DAY AFTER TREATMENT: No cleanser, moisturizer, or makeup! 

 

  • DO NOT massage, touch, or manipulate the injection site. Avoid heavy exercise the day of your treatment.

 

  •  Ice packs may be used to the treated area during the first 12 hours. Ice for 15 minutes on every hour. 

 

  • Avoid dental work for 30 days after filler injections. 

 

  • Avoid sleeping on your side or stomach for 24 hours post-treatment to prevent dispersing the product. 

  • If experiencing swelling, sleep with head elevated for 2-3 days to decrease swelling.

 

  •  You may take acetaminophen/Tylenol if you experience any mild tenderness or discomfort. 

 

  • Wait a minimum of four weeks (or as directed by your provider) before receiving any skin care or laser treatments. 

 

  • For most patients, the benefits of dermal fillers can be enhanced by using a medical-grade skincare system. Please contact a member of our staff for product recommendations.
