How to Maintain Your Injectable Results
1
Follow a good skin care routine
Your results will last longer if you look after your skin. Hydration is key, ensure you use a professional skin care products that are tailored to your skin needs. Avoid harsh products like retinol or AHAs for a few days post treatment.
2
Avoid excessive sun exposure
UV rays can break down the effects of anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers. Always wear SPF and sun protective clothing when outdoors.
3
Stay hydrated and maintain a healthy diet
Hyaluronic based fillers thrive on hydration. Drinking plenty of water helps maintain volume and longevity. Eating a balanced diet full of antioxidants can help support collagen production and skin elasticity.
4
Reduce Stress and avoid overuse of facial muscles
Chronic stress and excessive facial movements can make lines and wrinkles appear faster. Consider stress reducing activities.
5
Keep up with regular maintenance appointments
Anti- aging treatments can last anywhere from 3-6 months, while volumising treatments can last anywhere from 12-24 months depending on the individual. Booking a touch up appointment before the product wears off can help maintain long term results and prevent wrinkles from re-forming.
