Factors like smoking, hormone shifts, pollution, UV damage, and weather variations affect our skin health and appearance. As a result, our skin begins to lose elasticity, leading to fine lines and wrinkles. Brooklyn Botox/fillers can help reduce wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of aging, leaving you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
However, to maintain the results last as long as possible, it is important to take proper care of your skin before and after your procedure. Here are tips to lengthen the effects of your Botox or dermal filler treatment.
- Consume a healthy diet
Your diet influences the health and appearance of your skin. If you want to get the most from your injectable cosmetic procedure, consider these tips:
- Don’t eat packaged or processed food
- Reduce your sugar intake
- Reduce your dairy intake
- Increase your intake of omega-3 fatty acids
- Limit your alcohol and caffeine intake
Keep in mind that the increased inflammation or toxic levels brought on by these meals will impair the overall health of your skin.
- Avoid exposure to UV
UV rays can break down the molecules in Botox and fillers, reducing the longevity of your results. Use adequate sun protection after receiving fillers or Botox, especially after the procedures. To extend the duration of your results, use a wide-brimmed hat and high-quality sunscreen, and avoid being outside during extreme UV hours.
You can protect yourself from the sun By avoiding direct sunlight and using sunscreen with vitamin C. Your Botox and fillers will deteriorate when the skin tries to heal itself from the inflammation brought on by UV radiation damage.
- Maintain a good skincare routine
Like many other cosmetic treatments, the results of injectables will last longer for those who take good care of their skin. Moisturizing daily and drinking lots of water can help maximize the water-absorption action of hyaluronic-based fillers and retain the plumpness and wrinkle-free look of the treated areas!
In addition to hydrating, think about skincare elements that encourage the creation of collagen and protect your skin from damaging free radicals. You may also use vitamin C-containing products to shield your skin from UV destruction.
- Maintain your results with touch-up treatments
Botox and fillers are not permanent treatments; you will need follow-up treatments to maintain your results. Your doctor can advise you on the appropriate timing for touch-up treatments.
- Avoid stress
Stress is a common part of daily life. Stress from your job, relationship, or money can negatively affect your health. High levels of stress lead to the development of hormones like cortisol and others that speed up aging and amplify recurrent unfavorable signs of aging in the skin. To get the most out of your injection, lessen unnecessary stress and include stress-relieving activities like yoga or meditation throughout your day.
By following these tips, you can help to ensure that your Botox or dermal filler results last as long as possible. Remember to be gentle with your skin, avoid anything that can increase bruising or swelling, and follow up with your injector for any necessary touch-ups. With the right care and attention, you can enjoy your refreshed and rejuvenated look for months to come.
