My forehead line is flat and sunken,
making my impression look blurry.
Hello, this is Baek Doo-san from Cheongju Forever Clinic.
Nowadays, many people are adding volume to their foreheads with simple procedures to create a more three-dimensional facial contour.
In particular, forehead fillers are known to be a less burdensome method due to the relatively short overall process and recovery period.
However, to maintain the desired results for a long time
and reduce side effects,
post-procedure care is crucial.
Among these, it is best to avoid exercise, alcohol consumption, and massage for a certain period after forehead filler injections.
In this article, we will explain the reasons for each in detail.
What is the
principle behind forehead filler procedures?
Generally, it is a procedure that supplements volume by injecting a substance containing hyaluronic acid.
Hyaluronic acid is a component naturally present in our bodies that attracts and retains moisture, making it highly safe.
After injection, volume is immediately restored, and you can see a smoother contour.
However, since it gradually breaks down in the body, the effect may decrease over time.
To maintain the results for longer, it is important to minimize external stimuli and allow the filler to settle properly.
Why is exercise
not recommended after forehead filler?
Many people wonder if it's okay to exercise immediately after the procedure.
To get straight to the point, it is best to avoid strenuous exercise.
This is because exercising after forehead filler can increase body temperature and blood circulation, which can accelerate the breakdown of the injected substance.
Especially within the first week, before the filler has fully settled, there is a risk of the shape deforming or migrating due to impact or vibration.
Light walking or stretching is generally fine,
but activities involving significant movement or heavy sweating
should be avoided as much as possible.
Alcohol consumption
should also be avoided.
Drinking alcohol can cause blood vessels to dilate, potentially worsening swelling or bruising at the injection site.
Alcohol can also promote
inflammation in the body,
slowing down the recovery process
and increasing the likelihood of side effects.
You'll easily understand if you've experienced your face being more swollen than usual the day after drinking alcohol.
For the same reason, downtime can be prolonged, so it is advisable to avoid alcohol for about a week.
If you have company events or gatherings scheduled, consider adjusting your procedure date.
Reasons why massage and strong stimuli
cause problems
Similar to exercise after forehead filler, actions that involve pressing or stimulating the area should also be avoided.
For natural results, fillers need to settle into a specific shape. External pressure can cause the injected substance to spread or create asymmetry.
In addition to massage, be cautious about wearing hats and sleeping on your stomach.
Also, factors like hot saunas, steam rooms, and strong sun exposure can be stimulating, so it's best to avoid them for the first 1-2 weeks.
Avoid vigorously rubbing your face during cleansing. When washing your face, gently pat with your fingertips for safety.
The key to
effectiveness and satisfaction is
post-procedure care.
Actions taken without much thought, such as exercise, alcohol consumption, and massage after forehead filler in Cheongju, can affect the shape and duration of the results, so extra caution is needed for the first 1-2 weeks.
Before the procedure, it is important to have a thorough consultation with your doctor
to receive personalized care instructions.
After the procedure, paying attention to even small lifestyle habits
can lead to more natural and long-lasting results.
Please remember that post-procedure care is as important as the procedure itself when making changes to your face.
Thank you.
