Here’s What You Should Know Before Getting Cosmetic Fillers



Cosmetic fillers are injectables that are introduced in your skin to reduce signs of aging like wrinkles and fine lines and restore the youthful radiance to your face. This aesthetic treatment has become quite popular in recent times and many people resort to cosmetic fillers in lieu of cosmetic surgery.

If done properly, cosmetic fillers in Stuart FL will give you the desired results without any side effects and minimal downtime. But you need to make sure that you’re getting the treatment done by trained and licensed practitioners. If you’re getting cosmetic fillers for the first time here is everything you need to know about it.


Be Prepared


Before you undergo the treatment, you need to be prepared both for the treatment and the aftercare. Once you get the fillers injected in your skin, the doctor will ask you not to do certain things for a couple of hours. For the next several hours, you will not be able to put on makeup or exercise, wash your hair, lie on your sides, or touch the injected area. These activities may cause the injected substance to spread through your skin and thus reduce its effects. You are also not recommended to fly for a couple of hours after getting the injection as the cabin pressure might cause the injected substance to spread from its intended location. Be prepared for minimal activities for the next couple of days.


It Is Possible To Undo The Bruises

Sometimes while getting injectables like Botox in Stuart, it is possible that the injections hit a blood vessel and in such a case, it will cause blood to pool in the area under the skin, leading to bruising. Even though very fine needles are used to inject neurotoxins but it is still possible to get a bruise. But there is nothing to worry about, these bruises can be undone. Many med spas offer a complementary vascular laser treatment that helps break down the blood that has pooled under the skin and thus reduces the appearance of the bruises. This treatment is usually done 24 hours after the filler is injected. Discuss with your practitioner to know if they provide such services.


Consultation Is Necessary

When you are getting a cosmetic filler treatment it is crucial that you consult with the practitioner before getting the treatment. An experienced practitioner will assess your face on your first appointment. They may ask you to smile or frown in order to study the lines and wrinkles on your face properly. They will evaluate how your facial muscles move naturally so that they get a clear idea of the location where the injections need to be done. You might also need to get a thorough medical assessment done before getting the injectables as certain antibiotics have the capability to increase the potency of neurotoxins. To avoid any potential risk avoid getting the treatments done while you’re undergoing antibiotic treatment. Also, avoid any anti-coagulants like aspirin or ibuprofen as they thin the blood and increases the chances of bruising.


All Fillers Are Not The Same

All cosmetic fillers are not made equal so before you get cosmetic fillers in Stuart FL you need to understand what is the right choice for you. Avoid getting Silicon as it is the filler that creates the most complications. Also, silicon fillers are not FDA approved to be injected in the skin of the face. Hyaluronic fillers are a better option as they are malleable and can be absorbed by the body. This type of filler eventually breaks down over time while silicon is a synthetic material that has the potential to harden over time and create uneven bulges and bumps on your skin. Also, silicon is a permanent type of iller and it doesn’t look the same over time so it is best not to inject silicon fillers on your face.
