Radiesse
After receiving Radiesse (a calcium hydroxylapatite-based dermal filler), proper aftercare is essential to ensure good results and reduce the risk of side effects such as swelling, bruising, or nodules. Here’s a comprehensive aftercare guide:
Immediately After Treatment (First 24–48 hours)
Do:
– Apply ice packs (wrapped in a clean cloth) for 10–15 minutes every hour as needed to minimize swelling or bruising.
– Keep your head elevated when resting or sleeping to reduce swelling.
– Use gentle facial movements only — avoid massaging or pressing the treated area unless your provider specifically instructs you to.
– Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.
Avoid:
– Touching, rubbing, or massaging the treated area (unless instructed).
– Heavy exercise, saunas, steam rooms, or hot baths for 24–48 hours.
– Alcohol and blood-thinning medications/supplements (e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E, fish oil) for a couple of days unless prescribed by your doctor.
– Makeup for at least 12 hours after treatment to reduce the risk of infection.
– Extreme cold or heat exposure (like sunbathing or skiing) for several days.
Next Few Days (Up to 1–2 Weeks)
Do:
– Continue gentle skincare; use mild cleansers and moisturizers.
– If bruising appears, consider using Arnica or Bromelain supplements (if approved by your provider).
– Monitor for any unusual symptoms (such as severe pain, blanching, or signs of infection).
Avoid:
– Facial treatments (chemical peels, laser, microneedling, etc.) for 2–4 weeks after your Radiesse injection.
– Sleeping face-down — try to sleep on your back.
Results & Follow-Up
– Initial swelling may mask results; the final look typically appears after 2–3 weeks.
– Radiesse can stimulate collagen production, so improvements can continue over several months.
– Results usually last 12–18 months, depending on the area treated and individual metabolism.
– Schedule a follow-up appointment with your injector as advised.
Call Us If You Notice:
– Severe pain, discoloration (white or bluish skin), or coolness in the area.
– Signs of infection (redness, warmth, pus, or fever).
– Hard lumps or nodules that persist or grow over time.
*Note:
– Apply Fucidin cream twice daily for 72hours.
– No makeup for 72hours.
Filler
Immediately After Treatment (First 24–48 hours)
Do:
– Apply a cold compress (wrapped in a clean cloth) for 10–15 minutes at a time to reduce swelling or discomfort.
– Keep your head elevated — avoid lying flat for at least 4 hours.
– Stay hydrated — drink plenty of water.
– Use gentle skincare — mild cleanser and moisturizer only.
Avoid:
– Touching, rubbing, or massaging the treated area.
– Heavy exercise or activities that increase blood flow (e.g., running, hot yoga).
– Alcohol and salty foods (these can increase swelling).
– Heat exposure: saunas, steam rooms, hot showers, or sunbathing.
– Makeup for at least 12 hours (ideally 24).
Following Days (2–7 days)
– Mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness is normal — it should resolve within a week.
– You may use Arnica gel or tablets to help reduce bruising.
– Continue avoiding excessive heat and strenuous exercise until swelling fully subsides.
– Sleep on your back with your head elevated if possible.
Longer-Term Care
– Results settle over 1–2 weeks; avoid judging the final look too soon.
– Schedule a follow-up appointment (usually 2 weeks post-treatment) so your injector can assess the results.
– Maintain good skincare and sun protection — UV exposure accelerates filler breakdown.
– Avoid other facial treatments (e.g., facials, microneedling, laser) for at least 2 weeks, unless cleared by your provider.
*Note:
– Apply Fucidin cream twice daily for 72hours.
– No makeup for 72hours.

Immediately After Treatment (First 24–48 Hours)
You may experience redness, swelling, or sensitivity — this is normal.

Next Few Days (2–7 Days Post-Treatment)

– Continue using aloe vera or gentle moisturizer twice daily.
– If going outside, apply SPF 30+ (preferably mineral sunscreen) even if cloudy.
Longer-Term Care (1–4 Weeks After)
– Avoid tanning (natural or artificial) for at least 2–4 weeks.
– Don’t wax, pluck, or thread between sessions — shaving is okay.

When to Contact Your Doctor

Sculptra
Immediately After Treatment
– Massage: Use the “5-5-5 rule” —
Massage the treated areas 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days.
This helps evenly distribute the Sculptra particles and prevents nodule formation.
– Cold Compress:
Apply a cold pack (wrapped in a clean cloth) for 10–15 minutes at a time during the first 24 hours to reduce swelling and discomfort.
– Avoid Touching:
Don’t rub, scratch, or press on the treated area (except for gentle massage as instructed).
Avoid for 24–48 Hours
– Strenuous exercise or activities that increase blood flow to the face.

– Hot environments like saunas, steam rooms, or hot tubs.
– Makeup on the treated area (for the first 24 hours).
Ongoing Care (Days 2–14)
– Continue gentle daily massage if your provider advises it.
– Stay hydrated — good hydration supports collagen production.
– Use gentle skincare and broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+) daily.
– Do not schedule laser, chemical peel, or other facial treatments until cleared by your injector.
What’s Normal
– Mild swelling, redness, bruising, or tenderness for a few days.
– Tiny bumps under the skin that usually resolve with massage.
– Results develop gradually — collagen growth takes 6–12 weeks and may continue improving over several months.
Call Your Provider If You Notice:
– Pain, redness, or swelling that worsens after 48 hours.
– Hard lumps or nodules that don’t resolve with massage.
– Signs of infection (warmth, pus, or fever).
