Post-Treatment Care: Dermal Filler
To ensure optimal results and promote healing, please follow these simple aftercare instructions:
- Avoid Touching or Massaging the Treated Area
For the first 24 hours, refrain from touching, pressing, or massaging the treated areas. This helps prevent the filler from shifting and ensures it stays in place.
- Keep Your Head Elevated
For at least 4 hours after your treatment, try to keep your head upright. This helps prevent the filler from moving to unwanted areas.
- Avoid Intense Exercise & Heat Exposure
For 24–48 hours, avoid strenuous physical activity, hot showers, saunas, or excessive sun exposure. Heat and increased blood flow can affect how the filler settles and may cause swelling.
- Limit Alcohol & Blood Thinners
Try to avoid alcohol, aspirin, and other blood-thinning medications for 24 hours to minimize bruising and swelling. If you must take any medication, be sure to follow your doctor’s recommendations.
- Bruising & Swelling
It is common to experience some mild swelling or bruising at the injection site, which should subside within a few days. If you are concerned, please reach out to us.
- Be Gentle with Your Skin
In the days following your treatment, avoid using strong skincare products like retinols or acids on the treated area, as they may cause irritation. Stick to gentle cleansers and moisturizers.
- Follow Up
Results will continue to improve over the next few weeks as the filler settles. If you have any questions or experience any unusual discomfort, please contact us right away. We are here to help.
Thank you again for your trust, and we look forward to seeing your beautiful results! Feel free to let me know if you'd like any adjustments!
Post-Treatment Care: Sculptra
This treatment works gradually over time to restore volume and stimulate collagen production. To ensure the best results and minimize any discomfort, please follow these aftercare instructions:
- Massage the Treated Area
For the first 5 days after your treatment, it is important to gently massage the treated areas. This helps to distribute the product evenly and ensures optimal results. Your provider will give you specific instructions on how to perform this massage, but it’s usually recommended to massage for about 5 minutes, 3 times a day.
- Avoid Excessive Touching
While it’s important to massage the treated area as mentioned, avoid unnecessary touching or pressure to the area after the first 5 days. This will help the product stay in place and reduce the risk of irritation.
- Stay Upright
Try to avoid lying down for at least 4 hours after your treatment. Keeping your head elevated helps prevent the filler from migrating and ensures the best outcome.
- Avoid Intense Exercise & Heat
For 24–48 hours post-treatment, avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, and hot tubs. Heat and increased circulation can affect how the Sculptra settles in your skin.
- Limit Alcohol & Blood Thinners
To minimize bruising, try to avoid alcohol, aspirin, and other blood-thinning medications for 24–48 hours after treatment. If you need to take any medications, please follow the advice of your healthcare provider.
- Expect Gradual Results
Sculptra works by stimulating your body’s own collagen production, so the results will appear gradually over a period of weeks to months. The full effect may take 2–3 months to develop, and you may require follow-up treatments to achieve the desired outcome.
- Bruising and Swelling
Mild swelling, redness, or bruising is common following Sculptra treatment, but these effects should subside within a few days. If you notice any prolonged or unusual symptoms, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
- Follow Up
To ensure the best results, we may recommend follow-up treatments. Feel free to reach out with any questions or if you would like to schedule your next appointment.
Thank you again for your trust, and we look forward to seeing the beautiful changes as Sculptra works its magic over time.
Post-Treatment Care: PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
This therapy helps stimulate collagen production and promote healing. To ensure the best results and support your recovery, please follow these aftercare guidelines:
- Avoid Touching or Rubbing the Treated Area
For the first 24 hours after your PRP treatment, avoid touching, massaging, or rubbing the treated area. This helps prevent irritation and ensures the PRP stays in place for optimal results.
- Limit Sun Exposure
Try to avoid direct sun exposure for at least 48 hours after your treatment. Sunburn or heat can cause irritation and potentially affect the healing process. If you must be outside, be sure to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30.
- Avoid Intense Exercise
For 24–48 hours after your PRP treatment, avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, and hot tubs. These activities can increase blood flow to the treated area, which may cause swelling or bruising and interfere with the healing process.
- Hydrate and Nourish Your Skin
After your treatment, it’s important to keep your skin well-hydrated. Use a gentle, hydrating moisturizer and avoid any harsh skincare products, such as retinoids or exfoliants, for the first few days.
- Swelling & Bruising
It’s normal to experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site. These effects usually subside within a few days. If needed, apply a cold compress to the area to reduce swelling and discomfort.
- Avoid Makeup
For the first 24–48 hours, avoid applying makeup to the treated area to minimize the risk of infection and irritation. After that, you may resume your normal skincare and makeup routine, but please be gentle with your skin.
- Follow-Up Treatments
Depending on your goals, multiple PRP sessions may be recommended. We will work together to determine the best treatment plan for you.
- Healing Process
PRP works gradually by stimulating your body’s natural healing and collagen production. You may start to notice improvements in skin texture, tone, and overall appearance over the next few weeks. Full results can take up to 3 months to appear.
- Reach Out If Needed
If you have any concerns or experience unusual symptoms, please contact us right away. We are here to support you through your healing journey.
Thank you again for choosing PRP, and we look forward to seeing the beautiful results!
Post-Treatment Care: Microneedling
This treatment stimulates collagen production and helps improve the texture and appearance of your skin. To ensure the best results and support your healing process, please follow these aftercare guidelines:
- Avoid Touching or Rubbing the Treated Area
For the first 24–48 hours, avoid touching, rubbing, or applying pressure to the treated area. This helps prevent irritation and infection while your skin begins its healing process.
- Gentle Cleansing
For the first 48 hours, use a gentle, hydrating cleanser to wash your face. Avoid any exfoliating products or scrubs that could irritate your skin. After 48 hours, you can resume your usual skincare routine, but keep it gentle for the first week.
- Avoid Makeup
To allow your skin to fully heal, it’s best to avoid makeup for the first 24–48 hours. After that, use clean brushes or sponges when applying makeup to avoid potential irritation.
- Sun Protection
Your skin will be more sensitive to the sun following microneedling, so be sure to wear broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) daily for at least 2 weeks after your treatment. Try to avoid direct sun exposure, and wear a wide-brimmed hat if you need to be outside.
- Avoid Intense Exercise & Heat Exposure
For the first 48 hours, avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, and hot tubs. Sweating and heat can increase inflammation and irritation, slowing the healing process.
- Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out. This will support the healing and rejuvenating effects of microneedling.
- Redness & Swelling
It’s normal to experience redness, mild swelling, or sensitivity in the treated area for 24–48 hours after the procedure. This is part of the healing process and should subside within a few days. If needed, you can apply a cold compress to reduce swelling and discomfort.
- Avoid Strong Skincare Products
For the first 5–7 days, avoid using products that contain active ingredients such as retinoids, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), as they may irritate your skin while it’s healing.
- Healing Time
While your skin will feel smoother and more rejuvenated after just one treatment, the full benefits of microneedling will appear over the course of several weeks as your collagen production increases. Depending on your goals, multiple treatments may be recommended.
- Follow-Up Treatments
Microneedling is most effective when performed as part of a series of treatments. Your provider will recommend the best plan for you based on your skin’s needs.
- Reach Out If You Have Concerns
