Thank you for sharing your excellent question. The night of treatment I would be careful with any significant pressure over the face as you will be tender and do not want to cause any bruising. After the first night you can wash your face normally without hesitations as Voluma is placed deeply into the tissues of the face and difficult to displace. Hope this helps.
You do not want to aggressively rub your face after Voluma treatment, because it may cause uneven spread of product. However, gently washing your face is not a problem.
It is perfectly fine to wash your face gently after receiving Voluma. I would recommend refraining from massaging your face for at least 24 hours, however, because you may be a bit sore from the injections. Consulting a board-certified dermatologist who is an expert in sculpting the face with Voluma will allow you to learn more about this wonderful volumizing treatment and find out how to optimize your results.
Yes you can definitely wash your face post treatment but just do it very gently. Do not use any retinols, acids, vitamin c or topical exfoliates for at last 3 days post treatment.
After Voluma injections, the product may be moldable for a few hours. We usually recommend being gentle to the area. The questions remain of what is 'normal'? if normal means gentle soap with care not to apply pressure to the injected areas then yes, it's safe.
I would not see any harm in washing your face after a Voluma treatment. This process should not affect your results.
Thank you for your question.You are fine to wash your face with a mild face wash. Just don't massage your face or cheeks with significant pressure.
We advise our patients to gently wash for the first 24-48 hours without massaging the face.Gentle washing of your face should not alter the result.
Yes, you can wash your face as you normally would although I do advice my patients to avoid the use of a cleaning brush such as Clarisonic or a retinol cream for at least the first couple of days following any injectable.
Thank you for this question. Sometimes we neglect to ask what seems simple and "everyday."Yes, you may wash your face. You should, however, avoid using any scrubs, topical exfoliants or retinols for at least 48 hours. It's also best not to use make-up for that same period.
Yes, but you are going to be at a much higher risk for bruising which is already a common side effect with Voluma. If you can, I would recommend going off the blood thinner for a couple of weeks prior to your appointment. If you can't do this, make sure to let your injector know that you are...
We love symmetry. Most people need or want more fillers for their left side of the face for symmetry. Sleeping on your left side and driving a lot without sun protection will cause more collagen loss on the left side of your face. Stay skintastic
The under eye area is probably one of the most sensitive on the face so bruising not atypical. However, the bruise in the eye is not normal. Make an appointment to see your surgeon to be examined in person.
