In summary, both diet and exercise significantly affect filler results. A balanced diet provides essential nutrients for healthy skin. Regular exercise promotes circulation and reduces stress levels. Together, they enhance the effectiveness of fillers and promote long-lasting results.
The reasoning behind this is simple: while weight loss itself won't “burn” the fillers in your body, it will still reduce the fat surrounding them. The result may not look as dramatic, but it could lead to uneven areas that may require touch-ups.
Composed of hyaluronic acid, a substance that's naturally found in the body, people are using fillers to help the appearance of the natural ageing process. Over time, as facial movement increases in areas like the lips or cheeks, it causes the filler to break down and dissolve at a quicker rate.
AVOID: Alcohol, caffeine, niacin supplement, high-sodium foods, high sugar foods, refined carbohydrates (you may eat fruit), spicy foods, and cigarettes 24-48 hours after your treatment.
Answer: Fillers Don't worry, exercise does not do anything to the fillers. You should also make sure you follow up with your Board Certified provider for any and all questions.
About 24 hours post-treatment, avoid saunas and hot showers. Heat can cause blood vessels to expand, leading to swelling, bruising, and faster breakdown of the hyaluronic acid in the fillers, compromising their longevity and efficacy. This is especially true for intense heat.
We recommend to stop the following:
Aspirin (or aspirin related products) NSAIDS (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) Advil, Aleve, Ibuprofen, Motrin, Anaprox, Vitamin E, Fish Oils, Omega 3 & 6.
Ice, the treated area, is the first step to a speedy recovery after dermal filler injections. This can cooperate to reduce swelling and discomfort, as well as minimise the risk of bruising. You can apply a cold compress, or a bag of frozen peas rolled up in a towel to apply ice to the treated area for 10-15 minutes.
Increase your water intake: Hydration keeps wrinkles at bay and can help maintain filler injections. Drinking water throughout the day can hydrate your skin and slow the process of breaking down the filler.
Like the lips, the nasolabial folds have more nerve endings running through the area than other areas. The area also frequently moves, so this can cause more soreness after the injections.
Using injectable filler for large-scale body contouring or body enhancement can lead to serious injury, including long-term pain, infection, permanent scarring or disfigurement, and even death.
For those with a fast metabolic rate, dermal filler will break down much more rapidly than in those with a slower metabolic rate. Individuals with more muscle mass, especially men, will break down product much faster than those with less muscle mass, therefore will not see results last if women.
While most patients are satisfied with the results of dermal fillers, some find the change too drastic or have other reasons and would want to undo it. Using injectables like dermal filler is not a perfect science, and some patients react differently to the treatment, which is why dissolvers exist.
Several factors can contribute to shorter-lasting results: Fast metabolism: Some people naturally break down fillers more quickly. Excessive movement: Frequent lip movements, like those caused by speaking or eating, can accelerate filler breakdown.
However, they are likely not your final results, as you may experience some slight swelling and bruising. Generally, dermal fillers take around ten to fourteen days to settle and completely integrate into your skin. It can take up to four weeks, however, depending on the type of dermal filler you receive.
Caffeine and Coffee – Yes, unfortunately, caffeinated drinks are off-limits for the first few days after treatment. Caffeine can cause swelling to worsen, as well as the hot burning sensation that is caused by the heat of the drink. If you need that morning coffee, I advise booking your treatment in the afternoon.
EXTRA ZINC
Some studies have shown that Botox efficacy is linked to zinc levels within the body. Also, many individuals tend to have a slight zinc deficiency. Regularly taking a zinc supplement after your Botox treatment may prolong the anti-aging effects.
Healthcare providers use an enzyme substance called hyaluronidase to dissolve lip fillers. This substance breaks down hyaluronic acid filler only.
Bellafill is the only dermal filler that stimulates collagen growth long term to help maintain your youthful appearance for up to 5 years.
Practice Good Skin Care
Patients who moisturize daily and stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water will enhance the water-absorption effect of hyaluronic-based fillers, helping treated areas remain plump and wrinkle-free!
Too much exposure to UV rays can cause certain types of filler to break down more quickly, which will lead to your body absorbing them sooner than you may like. When on holiday, make sure that you slap on a high SPF, wear a wide-brimmed hat to cover your face and lips, and enjoy some time in the shade.
