How Can I Maintain Results After Injectable Treatments?

BOTOX and dermal fillers provide patients in Indian Harbour Beach & West Melbourne with a way to reverse aging, enhance their features, and correct cosmetic imperfections. Both of these types of cosmetic injectables deliver long-lasting results, but there are ways to extend, enhance, and maintain your results after your treatment. Following simple directives and adopting healthy lifestyle habits can extend your treatment results and achieve your healthiest and youngest-looking skin.

How Can I Maintain My Results After Treatments With Cosmetic Injectables in Indian Harbour Beach & West Melbourne?

After you undergo an injectable treatment, it’s natural to want your results to last as long as possible. To ensure the best and longest-lasting results, you need to understand how cosmetic injectables work and what’s required after treatments with dermal fillers or neuromodulators so that you can take the necessary steps and maintain beautiful results long-term.

Learn How Your Body Responds to BOTOX and Dermal Fillers

After you schedule and undergo treatment with a cosmetic injectable, depending on which type of product we inject, you’ll either see immediate results or your results will appear within the first few days of your initial treatment. Your body will respond to the active ingredients by slowly breaking them down over time and eventually flushing them out of the system. For most patients, this typically happens within three to four months of the initial treatment.

Preventing Accelerated Product Metabolism

Different factors can increase the rate at which your body metabolizes these injectable products, including excessive sun exposure, stress, and extreme exercise. Since wrinkle-relaxing and volume-boosting injectable treatments all deliver temporary results, your body will eventually metabolize the ingredients, and you’ll need a follow-up treatment.

However, by avoiding high stress levels, staying out of the sun, and engaging in moderate exercise, you can prevent your body from metabolizing these products too quickly so you can enjoy the results as long as possible.

Stay Out of the Sun

Sun exposure is the number one cause of premature aging and negatively affects the skin in multiple ways. It leads to the premature development of lines and wrinkles, sun spots, age spots, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, large pores, irregular skin tone and texture, and other visible imperfections.

Not only does sun exposure negatively affect the skin’s health and overall appearance, but it also causes the body to accelerate the metabolism of the ingredients in neuromodulators and other products designed to restore natural volume. Make a concerted effort to avoid prolonged sun exposure by always wearing a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen when you’re in the sun. By practicing safe sun habits, you can protect your treatment results and maintain them as long as possible.

Follow All of the Aftercare Instructions

After you undergo treatment with BOTOX or a dermal filler, you won’t have to plan around downtime. However, you will need to follow some specific aftercare instructions. Following these instructions is key to ensuring that the products work as designed and that nothing interferes with them as they affect the muscles or integrate into the skin tissue. The aftercare directives will vary based on your treatment, but generally, you should plan on the following:

Adhering to all of the aftercare instructions will allow your results to develop without any interruption and ensure they last as long as possible. If you have questions about the aftercare instructions at any point, you can contact our West Melbourne or Indian Harbour Beach office, and we’ll provide you with any information or resources you need.

Schedule Regular Follow-Up Treatments

After getting BOTOX or undergoing treatments with dermal fillers, you’ll enjoy your results for several months to a year, based on which products we use. However, since these products only deliver temporary results, eventually, your results will fade, and your face will look like it did before undergoing treatment. You can avoid this and maintain your results indefinitely by scheduling regular follow-up treatments when you start to see your results fade.

We typically recommend patients schedule follow-up treatments three to four months after getting treated with neuromodulators. Dermal filler results last six months to two years, depending on which product we use, the injection location, the mobility of that area, and how long it takes your body to metabolize the injectable ingredients. You can contact our office and schedule a follow-up treatment as soon as you see changes in your results. Consistency with follow-up treatments is key to maintaining your results.

Schedule Professional Skincare Treatments

Cosmetic injectables and professional skincare treatments pair well together because they are complementary treatments. An easy way to maintain your filler or neuromodulator treatment results is by undergoing professional facial rejuvenation treatments to make those results last longer and look even better.

At The Refinery Medspa & Wellness locations, we offer effective facial rejuvenation treatments, like microneedling, laser skin rejuvenation, dermaplaning, facials, chemical peels, fibroblast therapy, and others that improve skin texture and tone, tighten the skin, improve skin health, create an even complexion and reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles resulting from dynamic expressions or volume loss.

The Benefits of Combining Injectable Treatments With Skincare Treatments

Pairing skincare treatments with neuromodulators and other injectable products will enhance the results because these products always look best when injected into healthy and glowing skin. Injectable products can’t improve skin health, but facial rejuvenation treatments can, so when you schedule them together, you’ll enhance and maintain your results.

Use the Right Products

Committing to an at-home skincare regimen is another important aspect of maintaining your treatment results. The right topical products will improve your skin over time, keep it hydrated, and reverse the natural aging process. Combining an effective skincare regimen with injectable treatments can help you achieve your cosmetic and aging-related goals and maintain long-term results.

If you’re unsure about which products to use, we can design a customized skincare treatment plan with the right products that work with these injectable products for the best results.

Practice Healthy Lifestyle Habits

Another way to maintain your injectable treatment results is by living a healthy lifestyle. Your lifestyle directly impacts the appearance of your skin, your metabolism, and your injectable results. By living a healthy lifestyle, you can maintain the results of your injectable treatments and enjoy beautiful, voluminous, wrinkle-free skin.

Drinking plenty of water, eating a clean and healthy diet, and exercising daily will improve your skin’s health and overall appearance. It’s also important to reduce stress to prevent high cortisol levels, avoid smoking, and get plenty of sleep. These healthy lifestyle habits will promote beautiful skin and help you maintain and enhance your treatment results.

We can design the perfect treatment plan with one or more of our injectable products to reverse volume loss, smooth dynamic expression lines, and help you achieve your best skin to date. At your initial consultation, we’ll evaluate your skin, discuss your medical history, and confirm which products are right for you.
