Arrange Your Dermal Filler Consultation with Dr. Laura Geige
Immediately After Treatment
First 24 Hours
Immediately after tear trough filler treatment, it’s essential to rest and avoid strenuous activities for at least 24 hours. During this crucial initial period, your body needs time to process the filler and minimize the risk of bruising, swelling, or displacement.
For the first 24 hours, avoid any exercise that elevates your heart rate or puts pressure on your face. This includes activities like running, weightlifting, intense cardio, and even vigorous facial exercises.
Gentle movement is okay, but stick to light walks and avoid anything that could lead to forceful exertion or impact.
Staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water can help reduce swelling and promote healing.
Additionally, keep your head elevated while resting to minimize fluid accumulation around the treated area.
Following these guidelines will help ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results from your tear trough filler treatment.
Get Started with Your Dermal Filler Consultation with Dr. Laura Geige
The First Week
Immediately after tear trough filler treatment, you’ll likely experience some swelling and bruising around the injection sites. This is normal and typically subsides within a few days. It’s crucial to avoid strenuous activity for at least 24 hours following the procedure.
The first week post-treatment is a period of healing and recovery. While you can gradually resume light activities, it’s best to avoid any intense exercise that puts strain on your face or eyes.
Activities like running, weightlifting, or high-impact workouts should be postponed for at least a week. These activities can increase blood flow to the area, potentially leading to more swelling and bruising. Additionally, they may disrupt the placement of the filler.
During the first week, focus on gentle exercises such as walking, stretching, or yoga. Avoid any exercises that involve lying face down as this could compress the treated area.
Remember, everyone heals differently, and your practitioner will provide specific instructions based on your individual needs and recovery progress. Always prioritize your healing process and follow their recommendations for a successful outcome.
Exercise Guidelines for Weeks Two Onwards
Moderate Activity
After receiving tear trough filler, it’s essential to prioritize your recovery and avoid strenuous activity that could disrupt the healing process and potentially lead to bruising or swelling around the treated area. While the specific guidelines may vary depending on the type of filler used and individual factors, a general recommendation is to avoid any intense exercise for at least two weeks.
During the first week following your tear trough treatment, focus on gentle movement and activities that promote circulation without putting excessive strain on your face. Light walks, stretching, or yoga poses that don’t involve inversions or forceful movements are suitable options.
Weeks two onwards mark a transition period where you can gradually increase the intensity of your exercise regimen. However, it’s crucial to listen to your body and avoid anything that causes discomfort or pain. Consider starting with moderate-intensity activities such as brisk walking, swimming, cycling, or elliptical training for 30 minutes or less on most days.
As you progress, you can gradually increase the duration and intensity of your workouts, but always err on the side of caution. Avoid any high-impact exercises like running, jumping, or weightlifting until you’re confident that the filler has fully settled and your body is ready for more strenuous activities.
Remember to stay hydrated and avoid excessive sun exposure during this period, as both factors can affect the healing process. It’s also advisable to use sunscreen daily to protect the treated area from UV damage.
If you experience any unusual swelling, bruising, or discomfort, consult your practitioner immediately.
Vigorous Exercise
After receiving tear trough filler, it’s crucial to understand that exercise can potentially impact the results.
Here are some exercise guidelines for the weeks following your procedure:
-
Week 1-2: Rest is Best
Avoid any strenuous or vigorous activity during the first two weeks.
Focus on gentle movements and light walks to promote circulation without putting undue pressure on the treated area.
-
Week 2 Onwards: Gradual Increase in Intensity
You can gradually increase the intensity of your workouts as you feel comfortable. Listen to your body and stop if you experience any pain, swelling, or discomfort.
-
Vigorous Exercise Considerations: Avoid Direct Pressure on Face
Avoid exercises that involve direct pressure on your face, such as:
-
Schedule a Dermal Filler Session with Dr. Laura Geige
-
High-intensity interval training (HIIT)
-
Weightlifting with heavy weights, especially overhead pressing
-
Contact sports that may involve facial impacts
-
-
Swimming and Water Sports: Monitor for Discomfort**
Swimming can be a good low-impact exercise option, but it’s important to monitor how your face feels. If you experience any swelling or discomfort, reduce the intensity or duration of your swims.
-
Stay Hydrated: Crucial for Healing**
Drink plenty of water throughout the day to support overall healing and reduce the risk of bruising and swelling.
Remember that individual recovery times may vary. Always consult with your injector or a medical professional if you have any concerns or questions about exercising after tear trough filler.
