Aftercare Instructions for Dermal Fillers
Thank you for choosing Blushing Aesthetics for your dermal filler treatment. To ensure optimal results and a smooth recovery, please follow these aftercare instructions carefully.
1. Immediately After Treatment-
-
Avoid Touching: Refrain from touching, pressing, or massaging the treated area for at least 6 hours after the procedure to avoid disturbing the filler.
-
Ice Application: You may gently apply an ice pack to the treated area for 10-15 minutes every hour to reduce swelling and discomfort. Ensure the ice pack is wrapped in a clean cloth to avoid direct contact with the skin.
-
No Makeup: Avoid applying makeup to the treated area for at least 24 hours to reduce the risk of infection.
2. First 24-48 Hours
-
Avoid Heat: Stay away from saunas, steam rooms, hot baths, or any other sources of excessive heat, as this can increase swelling.
-
No Strenuous Exercise: Avoid vigorous physical activity to prevent excessive blood flow to the treated areas, which may increase swelling.
-
Alcohol and Caffeine: Limit alcohol and caffeine consumption, as these can exacerbate swelling and bruising.
-
Sleeping Position: Sleep with your head elevated to reduce swelling. Avoid sleeping on your face.
-
First Week: Bruising and Swelling: It is normal to experience some bruising, swelling, or redness at the injection site. These symptoms should subside within a few days. Arnica gel or tablets may help reduce bruising.
-
Avoid Facial Treatments: Do not undergo facials, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or any other facial treatments for at least one week after your filler treatment.
-
Sun Exposure: Protect the treated area from direct sun exposure. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.

Long-Term Care- Hydration: Stay well-hydrated to maintain the results of your fillers.
Follow-Up Appointments:
