Choosing Cosmetic Procedures That Make Me Look Amazing

Dysport is a highly effective treatment for frown lines, crow's feet, and other facial wrinkles. With a skilled application, most people can expect to see noticeable results even after the first application. However, it is important to understand that how you care for yourself post-injection is very important to the overall success of the application. Learn about some of the things you should do.

1. Stay Awake

Try to schedule your appointment earlier in the day, especially if you tend to get tired around the afternoon. The reason it's best to follow this practice is that you don't want to take a nap immediately after the injection. Once the injection is inserted under the skin, there is somewhat of a settling process that must take place.

The concern is that if you go to sleep, and you are resting on the side of the face where you had the injections, the pressure from pressing your face into the pillow can disturb this settling process.

Not only could this issue potentially alter the success of the injection, but the pressure could also cause the area to become irritated. As an added tip, you should also avoid rubbing your face during this recovery period. Rubbing the face can cause the same type of pressure issue as you would experience if you were resting on your face.

2. Avoid Makeup

It's best to avoid wearing makeup for a period after you have the injection application performed. The reason this step is so important is that it's common to have some level of swelling or even bleeding around the site of the injection.

Low-level swelling is typically fine, but when the swelling or bleeding, and even bruising increases, it could be a cause for concern, such as a sign of infection. Makeup is designed to cover the skin. As a result, if you apply makeup over the skin, you could cover up the bruising or other changes.

You don't want to wear makeup until your skin has returned back to normal so that you can clearly see if there are any changes happening on your skin so that you can contact a medical professional as soon as possible. 

Each person might not have the same experience. For this reason, it's a good idea to speak with the healthcare professional who will perform your injections to determine what you can expect after your injection treatment.
