AFTERCARE GUIDE
Dermal Filler Aftercare
Thank you for trusting us with your dermal filler treatment. Here is how to care for the area while it settles.
First 24–48 hours
- Swelling, tenderness and bruising are common and usually improve within a few days. A clean, cool compress can help.
- Do not touch, press or massage the area unless we told you to.
- Skip strenuous exercise, saunas, hot tubs and alcohol for 24–48 hours.
- Sleep with your head slightly raised for the first night.
Days 3–14
- Swelling goes down gradually; your result settles over about 2 weeks.
- Small lumps can be normal early on; let us know before trying to massage them.
- Normal skincare and makeup can usually be resumed after 24 hours.
What to avoid
- Facials, massages, laser or dental work for 2 weeks unless we say otherwise
- Pressure on the area, such as sleeping face down
- Extreme heat or cold on the area until swelling settles
