Immediate Post-Treatment Care
After your dermal filler treatment, it's crucial to follow these steps to optimize results and minimize any potential side effects:
Tylenol:
Take Tylenol if you experience mild discomfort. Avoid ibuprofen or aspirin, as they may increase bruising.
Antihistamine:
Consider taking an antihistamine, like Zyrtec, if you experience mild swelling. It can help reduce inflammation.
MEDICATIONS
For the next 3 days, take the following medications to reduce swelling and speed up recovery:
Note: Your provider may prescribe prednisone if you're prone to significant swelling post procedure. Take as directed.
AVOID
Intense Exercise:
Avoid vigorous physical activity for 24 hours to minimize bruising and swelling.
Heat Exposure:
Steer clear of saunas, hot tubs, or hot showers for 24 hours, as heat can increase swelling.
Alcohol Consumption:
Avoid alcohol for 24 hours post-treatment to reduce the risk of bruising and swelling.
Facial Pressure:
Avoid facial massages or any pressure on the treated area for the first few days.
For the next 3 days, stay away from:

Avoid Active Ingredients: Refrain from using products containing retinol, AHAs, or BHAs for at least a week.

Post-Treatment Care
In the days following your dermal filler treatment, it’s important to continue caring for your skin and the treated area:
What to get excited about!
Depending on the area treated and product used, results can last 2+ years! Dermal filler around the mouth tends to metabolize the quickest (6-12 months), while cheeks, under eyes, and jawline enhancement lasts even longer. Maintenance is minimal and the results can be incredible!
One of the best things about enhancing receiving dermal filler is that you will see results instantly! Although you will have a few days of downtime (swelling/bruising), your journey to a younger, softer appearance starts the second you leave your appointment!
The days of being overfilled are over! Well, to be honest, they were never present at Faces in Bloom. We specialize in subtle, natural-looking results that enhance your distinct features. You will love how polished you look after receiving dermal filler!
While you’ll notice immediate volume, it may take up to 2 weeks for swelling to fully subside and for the filler to settle for the final look.
When will I see the final results?
We recommend waiting 24 hours before engaging in intense physical activity to minimize swelling and bruising.
How soon can I exercise after treatment?
You can resume your regular skincare routine (excluding active ingredients) after 48 hours. Avoid strong exfoliants for at least a week.
When can I resume my regular skincare routine?
Yes, mild swelling and bruising are common and should subside within a few days. Using a cold compress can help reduce swelling
Is it normal to experience swelling or bruising?
