Can I Use my Retinol or Serum After Restylane Injection?

Question

How soon after my injections can I start my skincare routine. I like to use vit C serum in am and retin A pm and moisturizer throughout the day. My PS also told me that good skincare needs to be followed as well after the injections but I am afraid to manipulate the area.

Ron Shelton, MD · Answer

After getting a filler injected, one only needs to allow the pinpoint needle insertion marks to seal themselves and the use of topical products can be resumed the next day.

It is okay to use retinol after fillers like Restylane. Should be no problem.  Good Luck.

I would probably give it a day before going back to using your skin care products.  It should not impact the filler treatment at this point.

Darryl J. Blinski, MD · Answer

No problem, go right ahead BUT if the injector says NO than why listen to me over the internet? ALWAYS follow the treating doctor's advise and protocol.
