Here we will explain the precautions you should take just after receiving growth factor injections at our clinic.

Regarding swelling just after treatment

Swelling will occur just after the injection but it will be better.

For some people, the swelling may persist for a long time, but it will always get well within a week or so.

Even if the swelling continues for a long time, it will only make your nasolabial folds thinner, so I don’t think it will be a concern.

Regarding internal bleeding after treatment

After the injection, there is a possibility of internal bleeding, but some people experience no bleeding at all.

Internal bleeding is most likely to occur within 24 hours after treatment.

If any occurs, they often appear as small spots at the injection site.

If it does appear, it will get well within a few days to two weeks.

The symptoms tend to last longer in people who bleed easily, have difficulty stopping bleeding, or bruise easily.

Bruising can be covered with a mask or makeup (you can put on makeup one hour after treatment).

Discomfort just after treatment

You may experience discomfort or slight pain at the injection site for about 1-2 weeks after the injection, but this will definitely get well.

About makeup, sunscreen, and face washing after treatment

After the treatment, you can put on makeup, use sunscreen, and wash your face one hour after the treatment.

Regarding drinking alcohol, exercise, hot springs, and saunas after treatment

Drinking alcohol, exercising, going to a hot spring, or going to a sauna immediately after treatment will improve blood circulation in the

body, making you more likely to experience internal bleeding and swelling.

If you are worried about internal bleeding, it is best to avoid it for a week if possible.

In particular, avoid drinking alcohol on the day of the treatment as it can cause internal bleeding and swelling.

Meals after treatment

There are no particular restrictions.

However, it is best to avoid eating foods that are so spicy that they make you sweat profusely on the day, as this can increase blood circulation

in the body and cause internal bleeding.

Bathing and showering after treatment

It is recommended that you shower or take a short bath for about three days immediately after the treatment.

Taking a long bath improves blood circulation, which can prolong internal bleeding and swelling.

It is also best to avoid hot springs and saunas for one week.

Facial expression after treatment

For three days (72 hours) after the treatment, it is best to avoid laughing too much, talking for too long, or opening your mouth wide for long

periods of time (for exapmle,dental treatment, etc.).

This is because repeated heavy stress is placed on the nasolabial fold area just after the injection, which can cause the moisture

contained in the injected medication to flow out, causing the area to lose its shape and reducing its effectiveness.

Furthermore, even if the drug does leak out, it will not cause any harm to the body.

Regarding post-treatment cosmetic procedures

Peeling, iontophoresis, laser for spots, photofacial, HIFU and other laser treatments, facial equipment, beauty treatments, massage

For beauty treatments or laser treatments, please avoid the area around your nasolabial folds for one month after the treatment.

If the area being treated is different from the area being treated, such as body hair removal or neck hyphen treatment, there is no need to

leave an interval between treatments.

Injection treatments such as hyaluronic acid, fat injections, and PRP, as well as needle treatments in the skin around the nasolabial folds (cosmetic acupuncture, dermapen,potenza etc.)

Please avoid the nasolabial fold area for six months after treatment.

This is to avoid interactions with medications.

There is no problem as long as the area is different from the nasolabial folds, such as hyaluronic acid on the forehead or fat injection under

the eyes or on the nasolabial folds.
