AFTERCARE GUIDE
Filler · Collagen Booster Aftercare Instructions
You received a filler or collagen booster treatment today.
General care
- You may wash your face and apply makeup about 2–3 hours after treatment.
- Swelling, bruising, lumpiness, and soreness can appear temporarily.
- Cleanse and apply makeup gently today; do not press or massage the injection sites.
- Avoid alcohol, smoking, saunas, hot baths, and strenuous exercise for about a week.
- Meridian massage, facial massage, facials, and laser treatments are recommended after at least 1–2 weeks.
- Collagen boosters show gradual change over weeks to months rather than an immediate shape change.
- Massage instructions differ by product — massage only if specifically instructed by the clinic.
- Please take any prescribed medication.
Care by area
Forehead · Temples
Do not compress the area with hats, headbands, goggles, or sleep masks, and do not sleep face-down.
Nose
Make sure glasses or sunglasses do not press on the nose bridge or tip, and do not blow or touch your nose hard.
Lips
Avoid straws, lip biting, and hot or spicy food for 2–3 days. Postpone dental work that requires opening wide for about a week.
Under-eye · Front cheek
Do not rub your eyes or wear an eye patch, and do not sleep face-down. Swelling can look more pronounced in the morning.
Nasolabial · Marionette · Cheeks
Avoid sleeping on one side of your face and strong facial-expression exercises.
Chin · Jawline
Do not rest your chin on your hand or compress it with helmets or masks. Reduce prolonged chewing of hard food for a few days.
Ears
Do not fold or pull the ears; be careful with headsets, hats, mask straps, and side-sleeping that press on them.
Shoulders
Avoid massage and pressure from heavy bags or tight clothing.
Hips · Pelvis · Body
Avoid shapewear and tight clothing that compress the area, and prolonged lying or sitting on one side.
