Nevertheless, as with any cosmetic procedure, a certain level of risk is expected, which may include potential side effects such as redness and bruising around the treatment areas.<\/p>\n

Post-filler care: What to expect after getting treatment<\/h3>\n
Your healthcare provider knows best when it comes to providing you with the aftercare instructions since they have information on your medical history.<\/p>\n
Here are some common instructions you may receive from your provider:<\/p>\n
\n
Avoid excessive touching of treatment areas:\u00a0Avoid touching or rubbing the treated areas unnecessarily. This helps minimise the risk of infection and ensures the filler settles properly.<\/li>\n
Take a break from the gym:\u00a0Engaging in high intensity physical exercises should be avoided for a specified period after treatment. This helps reduce the likelihood of increased swelling or bruising at the treatment areas.<\/li>\n
Get the sunscreen out:\u00a0Excessive sun exposure to the injection sites may exacerbate inflammation. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 to the treat areas.<\/li>\n
Stub out the cigarettes:\u00a0Try to avoid smoking for a few days after the treatment as it can impair the healing process and increase the risk of complications.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
