Patients will often ask, “Can I use hyaluronic acid with fillers?” Our New Jersey-based team knows that patients may be wondering which skincare products they should use after getting fillers—and what they should avoid.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) has become a popular ingredient in many skincare products, from serums to moisturizers, due to its ability to hydrate and plump the skin. It’s also one of the key ingredients most popular fillers contain. But what about using HA skin products in conjunction with dermal fillers? Is it safe to use both together?
First, let’s review what dermal fillers are and how they work. Dermal fillers are injectable substances used to add volume to the face, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. While there are many types of fillers, those made from hyaluronic acid are particularly popular.
When it comes to using HA skin products with fillers, the answer is generally yes. In fact, using HA skincare products can help prolong the effects of your filler injections. The reason for this is that HA skincare products help to maintain the hydration of the skin. Even if the products don’t directly affect filler, keeping your skin healthy and hydrated will help to preserve the results.
However, it’s important to note that not all HA skincare products are created equal. Some products may contain a certain concentration of HA or different forms of HA that may not be as effective at hydrating the skin.
If you’re considering using HA skincare products with your fillers, it’s important to talk to our team first. We can advise you on the best products to use and any potential risks to be aware of.
Another important consideration is the timing of your skincare routine. You may need to allow time for filler to settle before applying skin products to reduce the risk of any irritation or adverse reactions. Additionally, try to avoid putting too much pressure on your face when you’re applying skin care products. With the right approach, you can achieve beautiful, hydrated skin that looks and feels youthful and radiant.
