Are you looking for a way to enhance your natural beauty and feel more confident in your appearance? If so, cosmetic fillers like lip filler may be just what you’re looking for. Lip filler in particular is a popular choice for people who want a more youthful and charismatic face through fuller lips. If you’re preparing for a lip filler appointment, be sure to follow these tips for smoother treatment and healing.
- Avoid smoking. Smoking before your treatment can hinder the healing process after the injection, so it’s best to at least temporarily give up smoking for the time leading up to your appointment. You’ll also want to avoid smoking after the appointment, as it increases the chance of bacterial infection and skin irritation as you heal.
- Don’t apply makeup. You’ll need a clean face during the treatment, so it’s best to skip your makeup routine on the day of your appointment. This includes both makeup and any sunscreen or lotions, including retinol and any anti-aging topical products you may use.
- Take acetaminophen. Taking acetaminophen before your appointment can help you manage any pain immediately after the treatment. However, make sure not to take any sort of over-the-counter pain medications with blood-thinning properties, such as ibuprofen or aspirin.
