What is the recommended wait time to get a spray tan before and after fillers, such as juvederm volbella or voluma?

Question

How many days before injections should I discontinue getting spray tans? How many days after injections is it safe to resume sunless (spray) tanning?

Catherine Winslow, MD · Answer

Hello! You can have a spray tan anytime around injectables, although you likely would not want to do it on the same day as the cleansing process for fillers will wipe away portions of the tan. good luck!

There is no wait. Although you might develop irregularities on the face around the injection sites if you do it right after your procedure.

Sean Doherty, MD, FACS · Answer

You can get a spray tan the same day as your injections if you wanted although you might develop some irregularities around the injections sits if you are getting tanner on your face. Best of luck.

Peterson Pierre, MD · Answer

There are no restrictions whatsoever! You can get the spray tan anytime after you've had fillers done. You probably want to do the spray tan after the filler because the fial prep required before the filler injection may disrupt the evenness of the tan on your face.

Studies on microneedling have shown that the holes created in the skin take about 4 hours to close. So, following injection of fillers, I recommend my patients not applying anything to their skin for 4 hours and that would include a spray tan. Also, don't like the idea of having spray tan particles on the top of the skin prior to injections that could be pushed under the skin with filler. Maybe you could save money for filler by not doing spray tans? I wish their wasn't such an emphasis on the tanned look. To a dermatologist it just symbolizes unhealthy sun damage. Be safe and choose an expert injector.

Thank you for your question. You do not need to discontinue spray tans before or after your Juvederm filler injections.

Christian N. Ford, MD · Answer

Great question!  There are no restrictions on spray tanning before or after treatment with fillers.  Please be sure to see an expert injector for an in-person consultation to fully discuss your goals and expectations in order to determine the best treatment plan.  Hope this helps and best wishes!

Chad Robbins, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question.  There are no restrictions with regard to spray tans before or after filler.  The only thing that would be a problem is when the injector uses alcohol to your skin, you may lose the spray tan in that area.
