Good gestures after an injection session
Following the injections, patients must follow certain gestures and instructions to enjoy optimal results. Heat and sun exposure are to be avoided , sun, artificial UV rays, sauna and hammam are not recommended during the days following the treatment. Exposing yourself to the sun is possible afterwards, but it is important to know that the sun can reduce the duration of action of the injections, just like stress, the consumption of alcohol and tobacco. Drinking plenty of water is, however, highly recommended!
The six hours following the treatment, it is important to remain at rest and to avoid intense or violent physical exertion. It is preferable to remain calm and to avoid mobilizing your face as much as possible, it is better to do without discussions, laughter or mimicry which could solicit the muscles of the face. It is better not to touch your face or massage it for the first few hours so that the filler stays in place in the targeted areas. For the same reasons, it is advisable to sleep on your back so that your face is not in contact with the pillow. Applying a moisturizer (prescribed by the doctor) helps the skin recover well after the injections .
Aspirin and anti-inflammatories should also be avoided the days following the injections. Redness and bruising may appear on the face, but these side effects are not serious. If make-up is not recommended during the twelve hours following the injections, it is then possible to mask any redness with make-up.
If the injections of hyaluronic acid take place in the lips or the folds of bitterness, it is better to avoid overstraining this area. Exit the appointments with the dentist the week following the intervention, we also avoid cleaning our skin for a week. Since the skin is sensitive following the treatment, the laser is not recommended for 4 to 6 weeks.
Programming a new injection session is possible, it is however necessary to leave at least 3 weeks to the body, the time that the body adapts to the products and that it can recover. This delay makes it possible to better observe the result of the injections and to decide on new potential interventions according to the results obtained.
