Dermal filler injections are well-tolerated by most patients. Skin is numbed with a topical medication, and fillers are infused with lidocaine. The procedure is completed in a matter of minutes, with just a few comfortable injections using a fine needle.
You will be able to wear makeup and resume normal activities right away, without any downtime or significant recovery period. The most common side effects of Restylane include bruising, swelling, and redness at the injection sites. These are generally mild and fade away within a week.
For the most part, you can return to your normal daily routine after your injection appointment. You should avoid excessive alcohol consumption, strenuous exercise, and extreme heat (sauna, hot tub, very hot shower, or facial waxing) the rest of the day. It is also best to avoid prolonged cold immediately after dermal filler injections.
If you have swelling at injection sites, apply cool compresses or ice packs intermittently. Any residual discomfort can be managed with an over-the-counter analgesic, but do not take nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) as they can increase bruising.
Restylane fillers integrate smoothly into skin, and our expert injectors are trained and experienced. However, if you feel a slight lump in the treatment area within the first 24 hours, it is fine to massage it gently.
You may cleanse your face normally, using gentle, high-quality skin care products. Please be sure to apply sunscreen every day for your overall skin health.
Most patients get the results they want with just one initial treatment – possibly two for a more extensive area. The doctor will work with you to determine a re-treatment schedule that makes sense with your unique body chemistry, to maintain youthful-looking skin.
Improvement is visible immediately! That is one of the biggest benefits of dermal filler injections. There is no waiting or wondering if change is occurring as expected, and no healing period. You can schedule injections just a few days in advance to look terrific for an important event.
