Injectable treatments such as Botox (neuromodulators) and dermal fillers have become increasingly popular in recent years as more and more people seek to restore a youthful appearance. But what can you expect after the treatment? Here’s a brief overview of what to expect after receiving injectable treatments.
Swelling and bruising are common side effects of injectable treatments. This occurs because the needle used to administer the injections can cause trauma to the skin. Swelling and bruising typically subside within a week or two. To reduce swelling and bruising, avoid any strenuous activity for 24 hours following the treatment. If significant swelling occurs, you can apply ice to the treated area for 15 minutes several times a day. You should also avoid alcohol for 24 hours after treatment, as it can increase bruising.
It is also common to experience redness, slight tenderness, and sometimes itching at the injection site of the dermal filler. These side effects usually disappear within a few days. If you experience discomfort, you may take Tylenol (acetaminophen if necessary). You should also avoid applying makeup for 24 hours after the treatment to allow your skin to heal properly, reducing the risk of infection.
