Dermal Filler Aftercare Instructions

Thank you for choosing Farashe Med Spa for your dermal filler treatment. To ensure optimal results and minimize the risk of complications, please follow these aftercare instructions carefully:

Immediately After Treatment:

  • Avoid Touching the Treated Areas: Try not to touch or massage the treated areas for at least 6 hours after treatment to prevent infection and avoid displacing the filler.

  • Stay Upright: Remain upright for 4 hours following your treatment. Avoid bending over or lying flat.

First 24-48 Hours:

  • Cold Compress: Apply a cold compress to the treated area for 10-minute intervals to reduce swelling and bruising. Avoid applying ice directly to your skin.

  • Avoid Strenuous Exercise: Skip heavy workouts, saunas, and steam rooms for 24-48 hours to minimize swelling and bruising.

  • Skip Alcohol: Alcohol can increase the risk of bruising, so it's best avoided for at least 24 hours post-treatment.

  • Heat Exposure: Keep out of strong sunlight and avoid extreme heat (e.g., sunbathing, hot tubs) until any swelling or redness has resolved.

General Tips:

  • Makeup: It’s best to avoid applying makeup for at least 12 hours after your treatment to reduce the risk of infection.

  • Facial Treatments: Wait at least 2 weeks before undergoing any facial treatments over the areas treated with filler.

  • Sleeping Position: If treated in the facial area, try to sleep on your back and use an extra pillow to keep your head elevated, which can help reduce swelling.

Swelling and Bruising:

  • Mild swelling and bruising are normal and usually subside within a few days to a week. Arnica cream or tablets may help to reduce bruising.

Hydration:

  • Stay well-hydrated to help maintain the effects of the fillers.

When to Contact Your Practitioner: If you experience severe pain, significant swelling beyond the first week, asymmetry, lumps, or any signs of infection (increased redness, warmth, or pus), please contact our clinic immediately.

Follow-Up Care:

  • Results: The full effect of your dermal filler treatment may take up to 2 weeks to become apparent.

  • Duration of Results: Depending on the type of filler used and the area treated, results can last from 6 months to over a year. We recommend scheduling a follow-up appointment to discuss the results and any future treatments.
