How long before you can go on sunbeds after lip fillers

Harriet Comite, MD, FAAD · Answer

Never.  Tanning beds significantly increase the risk of Melanoma and other Skin Cancers.  Period.  End of Sentence.

Dear elleevie,
Thank you for your question.
Generally excess sun will not have a major effect on your lip fillers. However, for good wound healing and recovery, it is best to wait until your swelling subsides, which can range from 48 to 72 hours depending on the amount and choice of filler. 
I hope this helps.

I tell my filler patients to avoid excess sun for a day or so. Sun beds are detrimental to your skin. Use tanning sprays or lotion instead. Best Wishes, Maurice Vick MD

I would recommend waiting up to 3 days after you get lip injections because you want swelling to be reduced. Although the uv lights shouldn't trigger any inflammation it is best to wait to be safe.
