How long do I need to wait to use a sunbed after getting lip fillers?

Hello, I hope you're happy with your lip filler procedure. While natural exposure to the sun is fine, I do not recommend tanning for at least 2 weeks following any facial or lip filler treatment. Though there are typically very few restrictions related to lip augmentation, tanning following lip injections could agitate swelling and cause further damage. In my practice I have treated many patients who have used tanning beds and I recommend against it. The harsh UV-light can cause melanoma and leads to wrinkles and premature aging. For more information on lip augmentation and healthy skin visit a board-certified dermatologist.

I would wait at least a day, before tanning. But keep in mind, tanning increases your risk of developing skin cancer. It will take 1-2 weeks for final results with fillers. Hope this helps.

Thank you for your question. I advise waiting at least 24 hours, before tanning. However, please remember that tanning increases your risk of developing skin cancer. You can expect to see your final results from fillers in about 1-2 weeks. I hope this helps!
