What to Expect After Radiesse
- Mild swelling, redness, or tenderness at the injection site.
- Occasional bruising, which may appear immediately or within a day or two.
- Slight firmness or lumps may occur, but usually resolve as your tissues adjust.
- Results are immediate but continue to improve as collagen production occurs over the following weeks.
First 24–48 Hours – Protect Your Results
- Apply cold compresses to reduce swelling; avoid direct pressure.
- Avoid vigorous facial movements in treated areas.
- Sleep elevated on your back to minimize pressure on treated areas.
- Avoid alcohol for 24 hours to reduce bruising.
- Refrain from taking anti-inflammatory medications (e.g., ibuprofen, aspirin) unless approved by your provider.
Days 3–7 – Gentle Care
- Light activity is fine; avoid strenuous exercise that increases facial blood flow.
- Do not massage, rub, or apply heat to treated areas unless instructed by your provider.
- Makeup may be resumed after 24–48 hours if the skin is no longer tender or bruised.
Week 2 and Beyond – Maintenance
- Swelling and firmness should continue to subside; slight contour adjustments may still be felt.
- Follow-up appointments may be recommended to assess results or touch-ups.
- Maintain hydration and a healthy skincare routine to support collagen and skin health.
