Under-eye fillers can significantly enhance your appearance, offering a refreshed and youthful look. This filler treatment addresses common concerns like dark circles, hollows, and fine lines, restoring volume to the under-eye area and increasing smoothness. So if you are looking to brighten and revitalize your overall facial appearance, under-eye filler may just be for you. However, achieving optimal results requires proper aftercare. At Aesthetic Skin NY, our professional and highly trained injectors are committed to delivering exceptional care and guidance. This guide will help you navigate the post-treatment phase, providing tips on reducing swelling, minimizing bruising, and maintaining your results.
Immediate Post-Treatment Care
Immediately following an under-eye filler treatment, it is important to take proper care of your skin to maximize results and ensure the desired outcome. Below are a few immediate actions to take after receiving treatment:
Cold Compresses
Apply a cold compress to the treated area for 10-15 minutes every hour during the first day. This can help reduce swelling and minimize bruising. Make sure the compress is not too cold to avoid skin damage.
Avoid Touching the Area
Refrain from touching or massaging the treated area unless instructed by your provider. This helps prevent the filler from shifting and ensures it settles correctly.
Stay Upright
Keep your head elevated for at least 4 hours post-treatment. Doing so helps reduce swelling and encourages proper settling of the filler.
Hydration
Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated. This helps the filler integrate smoothly into the under-eye area.
Reducing Swelling and Bruising
No one wants to look bruised and swollen after an aesthetic treatment. Luckily there are several steps you can take post-treatment to limit swelling and bruising around the eyes and face, including:
Take Arnica and Bromelain
Arnica gel or tablets can help reduce bruising and swelling. Bromelain, found in pineapples, is another natural supplement known to aid in reducing inflammation and bruising.
Avoid Blood Thinners
Refrain from taking aspirin, ibuprofen, and other blood-thinning medications or supplements, such as fish oil, for at least a week before and after the procedure, unless otherwise directed by your doctor.
Gentle Skincare
Use a gentle cleanser and avoid harsh exfoliants or scrubs in the treated area for a few days. This minimizes irritation and allows the skin to heal properly.
Maintaining Your Results
No matter how incredible the injectors, you also play a part in maintaining your filler treatment results. Avoiding sunburn, implementing healthy lifestyle choices, and the products you put on your skin all play a part. More information is found below:
Follow-Up Appointments
Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments with your provider at Aesthetic Skin New York to ensure the filler is settling well and to address any concerns you may have.
Sun Protection
Protect your skin from the sun by wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30. UV exposure can degrade the filler faster and affect the longevity of your results.
Healthy Lifestyle
Another important element of maintaining stellar results is living a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise. Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, as these can negatively impact your skin's health and the longevity of the filler.
Skin Care Routine
Incorporate a good skin care routine with products recommended by your provider. Hydrating eye creams and serums with hyaluronic acid can help maintain the plumpness of the under-eye area. The Aesthetic Skincare site features a variety of products that will elevate your skincare routine and extend the results of your facial fillers. Regular use of these high-quality products can significantly enhance the overall health and appearance of your skin.
When to Seek Medical Attention
While complications are rare, it is essential to be aware of signs that require immediate medical attention. If you experience severe pain, extensive bruising, or changes in vision, contact your provider immediately. Promptly addressing these issues can help ensure your safety and achieve the best possible results.
