Why is aftercare important?
The temples are a sensitive and thin area on the side of the forehead. When injecting fillers, a cannula (a blunt needle) is used to safely distribute the product under the skin. The skin is then still vulnerable. By handling your face with care, you prevent complications such as swelling, displacement of the filler, or bruising.

Touch your temples as little as possible. Do not rub the treated area and avoid tight headbands, sleep masks, or sleeping on your side.

Heavy exertion can increase your blood pressure, which increases the risk of swelling or bruising. Wait at least 24 to 48 hours before exercising again.
3. Avoid heat
Do not go to the sauna, use a sunbed, or take a hot bath. Heat dilates your blood vessels and can affect the effect of the filler.

Alcohol thins the blood, making you more prone to bruising. Wait at least 24 hours before having a drink again.

Do not use make-up, creams, or serums on the treated area for the first 24 hours to prevent infection or irritation.
