Jason Emer, MD · Answer

You should continue to follow your customized skin care regimen post fillers. The filler will not affect your skin type therefore you need to continue your customized regimen as advised by your aesthetician or dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer.

Donna Bilu Martin, MD · Answer

After a filler treatment, gentle skin care is recommended.  Arnica gel can be applied to areas that are bruised or are developing bruising.  Applying ice in the physician's office right after the treatment can help minimize swelling.  However, with the use of canulas to inject, the risk of bruising is minimized.

Jennifer L. Walden, MD · Answer

Wait a few hours before applying concealer or makeup, and about 6 hours for applying lipstick or gloss after lip injections. Moisturizers and your normal skin care regimen are fine to maintain the day of your injections going forward. 
Consult your physician if you have any specific questions about your skin or if you think it is not looking as expected after injections.
