Anyone who has had facial treatments knows that they’ll look and feel amazing after being treated with non-surgical facial sculpting and contouring techniques from a place like Lumen and Bevel Aesthetics. Unfortunately, even though the results from natural facial injections look amazing, they don’t last forever. This can be disheartening to know, however, there are some definite things you can do to make sure your facial injectable treatment lasts longer, so you can feel great longer.
- One of the perks of living in a desert state is that there is always plenty of sun to enjoy. Unfortunately, too much sun can reverse the benefits of your facial injection treatment, which is why people should always protect themselves by using a high-quality and high SPF sunblock on their face and to avoid being outdoors within the hours the sun is at its brightest.
- Facial injectables will last much longer in patients who take care of their skin by using quality skincare products, regularly moisturize, and who drink plenty of water. Be sure to invest in high-quality skincare products that can keep you looking like the day you left the spa or treatment center, for longer.
- Patients should aim to live healthy lifestyles, which includes being active. Facial injectables break down over time by the body’s natural metabolism, and while exercise is great for maintaining physical health, it also speeds up the metabolism process, thereby breaking your facial treatments down faster. While there is no way around this, it’s a smart idea to limit your activity and wear hats and sunblock if you’re going to be spending time outdoors.
- If you want your results to last longer, it’s important to eat healthy and, mentioned above, drink plenty of water. We’ve all heard the saying, “you are what you eat,” and it’s especially relevant if you’ve recently received facial injections. Eating heavily processed or sugary foods can cause increased inflammation and lead to a quicker breakdown of your aesthetic treatments. Healthy eating translates to a more youthful and vibrant face, while unhealthy eating tends to aid the aging process.
- After leaving the treatment office, it can be tempting to touch the places on your face that have changed due to dermal fillers and facial injections. You should know, however, that touching, especially with a lot of pressure, can aid in the faster breakdown of the injectables, which is why you should look, but try to refrain from touching.
- The number one key to extending the life of aesthetic injectables is to schedule and attend regular maintenance treatments at a medspa or treatment center before your results wear off. When it comes to Botox treatments, regular appointments can actually help to train your facial muscles to react to the treatment better and for longer periods of time. A good analogy for this is to imagine someone maintaining regular appointments with their hairdresser to “touch up” the roots, rather than waiting until almost all of the color is gone to schedule another appointment. Regular treatments save time and money, and they keep you looking the way you want for longer.
Non-surgical facial contouring and sculpting can look like magic, but like all kinds of magic, it doesn’t stay forever. However, by reading and following the above tips, you can make your investment last longer, so you can feel and look your best for longer.
