Before & After Care for Botox Lip Fullers & Dermal Fillers
Botox, Lip Fillers & Dermal Fillers
Injectable treatments are medical procedures.
Proper preparation and aftercare support optimal healing, reduce bruising, and protect your results.
Whether you are receiving Botox, lip fillers, or dermal fillers in Skagit County, following these guidelines ensures a smooth experience and predictable outcome.
Before Your Appointment
Preparing properly helps minimize swelling and bruising while supporting better product integration.
Avoid Blood Thinners
For 24 hours before treatment, avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, alcohol, fish oil, and other blood-thinning substances unless medically necessary. These can increase bruising risk.
Pause Active Skincare
Discontinue retinol, glycolic acid, and exfoliating products 3–5 days prior to treatment to reduce irritation.
Stay Hydrated
Drink adequate water in the days leading up to your appointment. Hydrated tissue responds better to treatment.
Avoid Sun Exposure
Avoid tanning beds and excessive sun exposure for at least 48 hours before treatment. Sunburned skin increases sensitivity.
Arrive with Clean Skin
Arrive makeup-free when possible to allow accurate assessment and sterile preparation.
Preparation supports precision.
After Your Treatment
Following these guidelines protects your results and minimizes complications.
Avoid Touching the Area
Do not massage or apply pressure to treated areas unless specifically instructed.
Remain Upright (Neuromodulators Only)
After Botox or Jeuveau, remain upright for at least 4 hours.
Avoid Exercise and Heat
Avoid strenuous activity, saunas, or heat exposure for 24–48 hours to minimize swelling.
Limit Sun Exposure
Avoid prolonged sun exposure for one week and apply SPF 30 or higher daily.
Expect Mild Swelling or Bruising
Temporary swelling, redness, or bruising may occur and typically resolves within several days. A gentle cold compress may help reduce swelling.
Healing is gradual. Subtle refinement continues as product settles.
