When Can I Do a Facial After Restylane?

I personally recommend waiting a few weeks for a facial following Botox or fillers such as Restylane or Juvederm. Always let your aesthetician know when your last injections were.

As Restylane is such an excellent product, some people have facials 2 to 3 days after the treatment, and they have no further complications. But in it's good to wait around two weeks to get a facial to avoid problems in the treated area, the filler will settle into your skin, and the bruises and swelling will disappear by that time. Whatever you choose, make sure to point out the areas where you have the filler injected in order to avoid them and do a follow-up consultation to confirm you can have a facial done.

It's usually best to wait about a week to do facial after soft tissue filler treatment, as to allow the material to settle and any swelling to subside.
