Does the skincare we use really have an affect on the results of our tweakments? Teoxane KOL, Dr Saleena Zimri breaks it down.
“It’s important to support skin health before and after cosmetic procedures, to ensure the best outcomes. Aesthetic treatments will certainly do the heavy lifting when it comes to facial rejuvenation and well-ageing, but some degree of skincare maintenance is needed for optimal results.
Utilising the right skincare products after undergoing Hyaluronic Acid facial filler is essential for promoting healing, minimising side effects, preserving results, and maintaining overall skin health. Consulting with your skincare specialist ensures that your post-tweakment skincare regimen is tailored to individual needs and complements the effects of your dermal fillers.
Using the right skincare after facial filler injections is crucial for several reasons:
Optimal Recovery: After undergoing facial fillers, our skin goes through a period of adjustment. Using appropriate skincare products can support the healing process and minimise any potential discomfort or swelling associated with the injections.
Minimise Bruising and Swelling: Hyaluronic Acid fillers can sometimes cause temporary bruising or swelling at the injection sites. This is completely normal, however, utilising skincare products with anti-inflammatory properties can help reduce these side effects and expedite the healing process.
Preserve Results: Dermal fillers are used to add volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial contours. Medically approved skincare can help maintain the longevity of these results by promoting skin health and elasticity, in turn prolonging the effects of the fillers.
Sun Protection: UV exposure can accelerate the breakdown of filler substances and contribute to premature ageing of the skin. Using skincare products with SPF protection helps shield the skin from harmful UV rays, preserving the integrity of the filler and preventing sun-induced damage.
Hydration and Moisture: Hydrated skin supports optimal healing and maintains the suppleness of the skin. Using moisturisers and hydrating serums can help keep the skin hydrated, enhancing the overall appearance and feel of the treated areas.
Avoid Irritation: Some skincare ingredients, such as retinoids or harsh exfoliants, can irritate the skin and potentially compromise the results of facial fillers. Opting for gentle, non-irritating skincare products ensures minimal disruption to the treated areas and reduces the risk of complications.
Customised Care: Every individual’s skin reacts differently to facial fillers, and personalised skincare recommendations from your practitioner can optimise the post-procedure experience. Your clinician can help tailor a skincare routine that addresses specific concerns and complements the effects of your HA filler.
I always recommend Teoxane to my patients. They have designed a range of at home skincare based on their unique, patented, cross-linked RHA® technology.
Teoxane’s complementary skincare range puts professional quality hyaluronic acid directly into skincare solutions, to offer even longer lasting results before or after a dermal filler treatment.
