Top Mistakes People Make After Getting Injectables
Injectables, including Botox and dermal fillers, are one of the most popular ways to reduce wrinkles, restore volume, and achieve a youthful glow. While these treatments are safe and effective, post-treatment care is critical. Many people unintentionally make mistakes after their session, which can affect results or even cause complications.
At Luxy Aesthetics, our goal is to ensure clients not only enjoy beautiful results but also maintain them safely. Here’s a guide to the top mistakes people make after injectables and how to avoid them.
Touching or Rubbing the Treated Area
One of the most common mistakes is touching, rubbing, or massaging the injection site immediately after treatment.
Why it’s a problem: Moving the product can alter its placement, causing uneven results or lumps.
Tip: Keep your hands off the area for at least 24–48 hours, unless instructed by your aesthetician.
Strenuous Exercise Too Soon
Many clients want to get back to their regular workouts right away. However:
Why it’s a problem: Exercise increases blood flow and can affect how the injectable settles, especially fillers.
Tip: Avoid intense exercise for 24–48 hours’ post-treatment. Light activity like walking is fine.
Ignoring Sun Protection
After injectables, your skin may be more sensitive to UV rays.
Why it’s a problem: Sun exposure can increase swelling, redness, or bruising, and affect skin healing.
Tip: Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen and avoid direct sunlight for the first 48 hours.
Taking Certain Medications or Supplements
Some medications and supplements can increase bruising or swelling:
- Aspirin, ibuprofen, and other blood thinners
- High doses of vitamin E, fish oil, or herbal supplements
Tip: Disclose all medications and supplements to your aesthetician before your treatment and ask if you need to pause them.
Always Follow Professional Advice
Your aesthetician provides personalized post-care instructions based on the type of injectable, location, and your skin. Ignoring these guidelines is the fastest way to reduce effectiveness or risk complications.
