Dermal fillers are a popular choice for those who want to rejuvenate their faces, but they aren’t the only option out there. There are other treatments you can have after dermal fillers such as lip hair laser removal, but it's important that you know what to expect from each one before having them.
So how long do you need to wait to have lip laser hair removal after your dermal filler treatment? It’s important that you give space between your lip laser hair removal and dermal filler treatments. The typical waiting time between treatments should be at least 4 weeks. This is to help give time for your dermal fillers to settle in and heal properly which can help avoid any complications for your hair removal.
Getting lip laser hair removal after dermal fillers can be a great way to get rid of unwanted hairs on your lips. However, there are some things that you should know before making a decision. The amount of time it takes for lip laser hair removal will depend on how long after having dermal fillers you get the treatment.
While this is not an exact science, it's usually recommended that patients wait at least 4 weeks before getting their lips treated with laser removal. The reason behind this is that dermal fillers have a tendency to leave scars when they're injected into the skin, and those can take time to heal completely. If you try getting lip laser treatment too soon after having dermal filler injections in your lip area, then there's a good chance that it will cause infections and swelling.
This is because dermal fillers are injected just under your skin. This means that they're not deep enough to cause pain as they're being injected but there's still some discomfort associated with them due to the fact that your body has to adjust itself in order for them to settle into place properly. The recovery time for lip laser hair removal is usually about 6-8 weeks before the results become fully visible.
While the recovery time for lip filler treatment can vary, it is important to remember that it is a relatively short process. The swelling will go down in 1 to 2 weeks and results should be visible by 2 months. It will take roughly 3 months to see permanent results. However, for some people, they may require more time depending on their body and specific treatment.
You should also note down any other potential side effects associated with dermal filler treatments and laser hair removal since they may not occur until many days after treatment has already been completed. Keep track of everything else so you can monitor them while they're happening too. Common side effects that you can experience from both treatments may include the following:
There are a few things you can do before, during, and after treatment to help your skin look its best. Be sure to take care of your skin before you get dermal fillers by using an exfoliant regularly and by using a moisturizer that's right for your skin type.
Avoiding smoking and alcohol excessive sun exposure as this can affect the quality of dermal fillers. Make sure to hydrate and use sunscreen as well if you've had fillers injected into your lips in the past few months.
It’s recommended that you wait until after your laser hair removal session at least 6 weeks before having lip dermal filler treatment again so that there’s no risk of scarring or complications occurring due to swelling. Invasive treatments such as plastic surgery should also be avoided at this point to prevent complications.
Those who have been pregnant should avoid laser treatment altogether as hormonal changes during pregnancy increase swelling which can make healing more difficult than usual. Laser hair removal should also be avoided if one has recently shaved their face because this could result in redness or scarring from ingrown hairs; waxing, tweezing, or plucking between treatments should also be avoided.
All things considered, the most important thing to remember is that laser hair removal takes time. Depending on your doctor, you may need to wait at least 2 to 4 weeks after your dermal filler treatment before you can have laser hair removal.
In general, the amount of time you need to wait after receiving lip filler depends on how much was injected into your lips. If you had a small amount treated, then it's possible that your doctor will recommend waiting just 4 weeks before undergoing a laser treatment.
