Dermal fillers have the potential to minimize fine lines and wrinkles and provide more volume. As you age, your skin loses collagen and elasticity, which is why fillers can be so advantageous. Understanding the aftercare is critical so that you get the most out of a filler.

At Refine by Tulsi, you’ll learn about the many dermal fillers and lip fillers that can be used to give you the desired results while also learning how to care for your skin following the injections.

Various Dermal Fillers

The fillers can contain different primary ingredients and substances, such as hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, or poly-L-Lactic Acid. Each offers a variety of benefits, including replenishing moisture within the various layers of skin, adding volume, and even providing you with more structural support so that you can regain a natural look.

By working with an experienced physician instead of just an aesthetician, you’ll learn which substance will achieve the best results based on where you want the work done, as well as how severe the lines and folds may be. A consultation will involve exploring your medical history and showing you before and after photos to understand what you could expect following the procedure.

Aftercare

The first 24 hours following the injections may be the most important. You’ll want to avoid such things as:

  • Sun exposure
  • Alcoholic beverages
  • Strenuous exercise
  • Massage
  • Sleeping on your side or stomach

There are other things that you can do in between injections so that the results last longer. You’ll want to hydrate properly by drinking plenty of water (this is even more important if you get a filler with hyaluronic acid as it helps with water retention). It’s also a good idea to use moisturizer and sunscreen on a daily basis – and your physician can recommend a good one for you.
