Immediate Post-Procedure
Immediately following a dermal filler treatment, you may experience some minor side effects such as redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site. These are temporary and typically subside within a few days.
Swelling and Bruising
Swelling and bruising are common occurrences after dermal filler injections. The degree of swelling and bruising varies from person to person and depends on factors like the amount of filler used, the location of the injection, and individual healing capabilities.
It’s important to remember that these side effects are normal and typically peak within 24-48 hours after the procedure. Cold compresses can help reduce swelling and bruising.

Activity Restrictions
During short-term recovery (days to weeks), patients should avoid certain activities to allow the filler to settle and minimize the risk of complications.
These activity restrictions may include avoiding strenuous exercise, direct sunlight exposure, saunas, steam rooms, or any activities that cause excessive sweating or rubbing at the injection sites.
It’s important to follow your practitioner’s specific instructions regarding post-treatment care and activity limitations.

Moving into the weeks following dermal filler treatment, you’ll enter a phase of long-term recovery. While the initial swelling and bruising should have subsided, you may continue to notice some minor redness or tenderness at the injection sites.
