Lip fillers are one of our most popular choices here in Essex, and it’s no surprise - they’ve long been a firm favourite of the celebrity set, and modern techniques mean you can have your lips as subtle or dramatic as you choose.

Read on to find out some general information about treatment, as well as our aftercare tips to ensure you achieve the best results possible.

Why is lip filler aftercare so important?

After lip fillers, it’s important to keep an eye on the treated area for any signs of side-effects. These might be things like swelling, redness, tenderness or bruising. While these symptoms can often develop after an injection, certain things can make them worse or more likely to develop. That’s why we make some special recommendations for our clients.

Will aftercare affect my results?

Following proper lip filler aftercare advice could prolong your results, and prevent any complications or worsening of side-effects you may experience. If nothing else, good aftercare practices encourage you to take care of your skin as it recovers from lip fillers treatment.

What aftercare for lip fillers do you recommend?

Although we’ll go into greater detail about this during your consultation or treatment at our Buckhurst Hill clinic, some things to be aware of include:

  • Avoiding heat treatments for a few days following your lip injections. These could be spa, sauna, swimming or other activities.
  • Avoiding alcohol, make-up and touching the treated area in the first 24 hours.
  • Winding down on exercise in the first couple of days, swapping gym, training and classes for gentle activity instead.
  • Taking care in the sun by wearing sun protection with both UVA and UVB coverage, as well as seeking shade when the sun is at its hottest and covering skin in bright sunlight.

What should I do if there’s a problem?

If you have any mild side-effects - like the ones we’ve listed - and you feel worried, then just get in touch with our team of experts here in Essex. We’ll be able to advise you on how to ease symptoms, for instance applying a cold compress to areas of swelling.

Can serious side-effects occur?

Yes, this is possible. But we’ll talk through this at our clinic ahead of your treatment. Serious side-effects from lip injections are rare.
