Heat: Avoid hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, tanning beds, and hot tubs for 24 hours to prevent skin irritation and filler breakdown.
Sleeping Position: Try to sleep on your back for the first 1-2 days to avoid pressure on the treated areas.
Strenuous Activity: Limit intense exercise and heavy lifting for a few days to prevent sweating, inflammation, and a rapid metabolism that can affect the filler.
Alcohol and Tobacco: Avoid drinking alcohol and smoking for a few days post-treatment, as they can slow healing and affect how the filler settles.
Certain Skincare Products: For 1-2 days after treatment, stay away from chemical exfoliants, Vitamin C, retinoids, and products that increase skin cell turnover.
Other Treatments: Wait at least two weeks before undergoing other facial treatments like facials, chemical peels, waxing, IPL, laser treatments, radiofrequency treatments, and microdermabrasion.
