Dermal filler treatment is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that gives patients a natural, refreshed look that enhances their natural beauty. Dermal fillers are made up of hyaluronic acid, a substance already produced in the body. If you have or are wanting dermal fillers at our skin clinic in Derby, it’s important to follow some specific steps to take care of the treated area. 

Don’t wear make-up 

Once you’ve welcomed your newly defined lips, it’s had to not want to apply your make-up and show of your new look – but for safety reasons, it’s best to keep away from it. It’s important to not apply makeup over the treated area for at least 12 hours, as this area of skin can be sensitive and prone to irritation. By allowing the newly treated area of skin to heal properly, it means you can enjoy the expected result of your treatment.

Use a cool compress 

It’s absolutely natural to have some tenderness, redness and inflammation near the treated area. These signs tend to appear after a couple of days. By applying a cool compress to the area that received the dermal fillers, it will help to calm and soothe the discomfort. These side-effects should fully fade after around 2 weeks.

Hydrate 

You’ve just had your had fillers in Derby and your skin is looking plump and healthy. To keep it looking like this, you should use sun cream and drink plenty of water to hydrate the skin. This will help to avoid any other irritation and discolouration. It will also help to keep the skin looking soft, smooth and rejuvenated. 

Avoid extreme temperatures 

You should keep out of extreme temperatures. This means you shouldn’t exposure yourself to too much sunlight, hot saunas and steam rooms, as this can irritate the skin and cause redness. Also, stay away from extremely cold temperatures. This mean you should avoid snow, ice baths, cold seas etc as this can cause irritation and discolouration. For best results, stay in mild temperatures to allows the healing process to happen naturally.
