Dermal fillers in Miami have become popular these past few years as an accessible cosmetic treatment that helps restore the fullness in your face. While being very simple and non-invasive, you will get some aftercare instructions from us on how to ensure the best recovery possible, and one of them is drinking plenty of water.

Before—and after—getting dermal fillers, water can be your best friend and a great resource to reduce discomfort while improving healing. In this article, we’ll explain the benefits of staying well-hydrated before a cosmetic appointment, and how it can help you afterward.

Why Is Water Your Best Friend

Hydration is a fundamental component of healthy skin, so drinking lots of water helps your body heal, enabling you to see the results faster.

However, when it comes to dermal filler treatments, water is especially vital, as these injectables work by attracting water molecules. Drinking water afterward will amplify their volumizing effect, help your body heal after injections, reduce the likelihood of bruising, and make results last longer.

On the day of the treatment, avoid alcohol and caffeine, as these increase the chances of bruising. We recommend keeping a coffee and alcohol-free diet for at least two days after the treatment.

Last, but not least, you can use water to create ice. By applying it to your face, you can reduce some facial swelling and soreness. Just consult with our specialists beforehand to know if it’s okay!

After getting dermal fillers, you may experience mild bruising and swelling, but patients often recover quickly. The swelling will wear off in a week or two. After the procedure, the treated area will be slightly red, but this will last only a few hours.
