As we age, our skin also starts to become saggy or wrinkled. Age causes bones to lose their strength, fat pads to shrink, which makes the cheeks sag (hello, jowls), and the skin to lose moisture, elasticity, and collagen.
As previously stated, volume loss, wrinkles, and fine lines are all signs of aging. The good news is that there are alternatives to plastic surgery for regaining a youthful appearance. Dermal fillers like Juvéderm help with this issue.
By restoring volume, reinforcing facial features, and smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines, dermal fillers can make your skin look years younger. Facelifts using Dermal Filler can make you look younger, fresher, and more vibrant.
It's crucial to remember that dermal fillers can cause complications. By planning ahead and keeping a close eye on patients, these risks can be eliminated or made much less likely. Here is a good list of must-follow Dermal Filler rules to ensure a trouble-free procedure:
Do’s Before Your Dermal Filler Treatment
It is important to provide care both before and after therapy
After you and our doctor have agreed that Juvéderm is the best option for you, doctor will give you a list of pre-and post-treatment instructions. Paying close attention to the directions will not only make sure that you are ready for the therapy, but it will also reduce any side effects that could happen.
Pretreatment Steps to Take
Make sure you know what you're being treated for and what effects that treatment could have on you.
If you are prone to cold sores, you should always have antiviral medication on hand and use it preventatively.
You should tell our healthcare provider about your medications, even supplements.
Keep your hydration levels maintained. In general, staying hydrated is good for your health, and your fillers will like the extra moisture.
If you easily bruise, you should take an Arnica supplement before treatment. In addition to preventing bruises, it also improves blood flow, for which it is famous.
The Next Steps After Your Dermal Filler Procedure
You'll likely experience some degree of swelling and bruising. After all, you're getting needles stuck under your skin, which could take a few days to two weeks to heal. When making big plans, this should be taken into account.
Talk to our doctor if you have anything that worries you, like pain that doesn't go away, unusual bruises, or a lot of swelling.
After treatment, it's recommended to ice the area several times. This should reduce the pain and swelling. However, do not place ice directly on the treatment area; instead, wrap it in a facial wipe or towel.
Don'ts Before Getting a Dermal Filler
Don't Wear Makeup to Your Appointment. We'll Remove It.
DO NOT have dermal fillers if you are expecting a child or are nursing a baby. We recommend waiting till nursing has ended.
Blood-thinning medicines like Ibuprofen, Aleve, Aspirin, and other over-the-counter painkillers SHOULD NOT be taken in the days after your procedure. Always check with the doctor if you have any doubts about whether or not you should avoid taking a certain drug. Make sure your doctor knows about any medications you take regularly.
AVOID taking any St. John's Wort or other herbal pills in the week leading up to your visit. An ideal situation would be if your dermatologist provided you with a blacklist of supplements to avoid.
Avoid alcoholic beverages for at least 24 to 48 hours before obtaining dermal fillers. They make bruising more likely.
When getting an injectable treatment, DO NOT exercise heavily the day before or the day after.
If you're going to spend a lot of money on injectables to keep your skin from aging, the least you can do is use sunscreen wherever you go outside.
After Treatment, Avoid These Mistakes
DO NOT touch the treated region, as this may cause infection.
You shouldn't drink alcoholic drinks for at least 48 hours after getting dermal fillers or Sculptra. Two or more drinks significantly increase the possibility of injury.
After obtaining dermal fillers, you shouldn't work out for at least a few days. After treatment, you shouldn't do anything physical for 48 hours. This is because it will increase blood flow, push on tissues, and make you more likely to bruise.
Avoid massaging the region if you've had a facial or wax on your face in the past week.
If you're getting a treatment, wait at least 24 hours before applying makeup.
Remember: ALWAYS wear sunscreen before leaving the house.
Always Have A Backup Plan
It's time to think about your dermal filler alternatives, like Sculptra, whether you've been thinking about them for a while or the idea just occurred to you.
Never let anyone pressure you into making a decision; this is still a medical operation that a licensed medical expert must carry out. You will feel safe and prepared if you plan. If you want fillers before a wedding or graduation, it's best to plan ahead by a few months. During this time, our doctor can look at your skin and give you advice on how to slowly make the changes you want without causing any side effects that you can see.
Making major cosmetic adjustments right before a large event can backfire. Also, if you're unhappy with the results, you can always ask your practitioner to make changes.
Derma Fillers and Sculptra are fantastic cosmetic treatments that can produce amazing results. To get the most out of your filler treatment, make sure to follow these guidelines. The before and after care instructions are there for a reason, so make sure to read them carefully and follow them to the letter.
