Which Products Should You Be Using on Your Skin After Filler Treatments?
Maintaining beautiful skin can be a challenge considering how it regularly endures stress from the environment in addition to biological aging. Happily, there are treatments that can help. Facial fillers like the members of the JUVEDERM® collection are an excellent way to add volume and lift to areas of your face that may be thinning, wrinkled, or deflated—but they represent just one piece of the skincare puzzle. For those who are curious about what to do about skin care after JUVEDERM®, our Los Angeles-based team at Skin Care and Laser Physicians of Beverly Hills can give you advice.
After a facial filler session, it’s OK to continue your normal skincare routine—for the most part. With that in mind, however, it is usually best to wait a few days before waxing or plucking hairs from the skin. Facial massages should also be avoided for some time, since pressure and jostling can shorten the lifespan of the filler results. You should avoid deep cleansing facials for the same reason.
When it comes to skin care, it’s best to combine fillers with a good at-home routine, because although each strategy can give you good results on its own, they are more effective when used together. Choosing and properly applying the right products is also a good way to keep your skin “calm” before and after injectables.
Patients should know that they may experience dryness on or around the injection area for the first few days after a filler session. Apply a good moisturizer during the months after filler injections, preferably using one that contains ultra-hydrating ingredients like glycerin and hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is the same ingredient many facial fillers, like JUVEDERM®, contain.
Although topical products won’t undo wrinkles, well-hydrated skin reveals fewer facial lines than dry skin. That means you may need to go in for filler appointments less frequently. A particular ingredient to look for is retinol, which promotes collagen production to boost the skin-smoothing and plumping effects of fillers while keeping your skin looking radiant.
