Important Post-Treatment Care

Remember that the post-care regimen may vary depending on the location of the injection, so it's crucial to consult with your injector for personalized guidance. 

• Apply an ice pack or ice cube covered in a thin cloth. This will help ease swelling, itching, bruising and any other pain.

• If you have bruises at the injection site, it may help to apply Aloe-Vera, Vitamin-K, and Arnica.

• Avoid high temperatures like hot showers, steam rooms, sauna, tanning bed, and heated exercise for 48 hours after injection.

• Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours. Elevated blood pressure and heart rate from exercising may make swelling or bruising worse.

• Staying hydrated and drinking plenty of water will help your body heal.

• Try to sleep with your head elevated on pillows to reduce swelling. Do not sleep on your face.

• Eat plenty of hydrating fruits and vegetables such as kiwi and fresh pineapple.

• Try to avoid excess sodium which may worsen swelling.

• If you have pain, Tylenol will normally be ok to take. But blood thinning medication such as ibuprofen, and aspirin are not recommended.

• Avoid makeup for 24 hours after injection.

• Avoid touching or massaging the treated area for the first 24 hours after injection.

• Avoid alcohol and smoking for the first 24 hours as these can dehydrate the skin and delay the healing process.
