Swimming After Dermal Fillers: What You Need to Know
Thinking about taking a dip after your dermal filler treatment? At Chester Skin & Wellness in Chester Township, NJ, Dr. Deborah Petrowsky provides expert guidance to ensure your results heal beautifullyâwithout unnecessary risks.
While dermal fillers require minimal downtime, itâs best to avoid swimming for at least 24 to 48 hours after treatment. Pools, oceans, and hot tubs expose your skin to bacteria and chemicals like chlorine, which can irritate freshly injected areas and increase the risk of infection. Additionally, prolonged water exposure and pressure from goggles or snorkeling masks can interfere with the fillerâs settling process, potentially affecting symmetry.
If you enjoy swimming or water activities, planning your treatment around your schedule ensures optimal healing. Dr. Petrowsky customizes every filler procedure, whether enhancing your lips, restoring lost volume in your cheeks, or defining your jawline, to deliver natural-looking, long-lasting results.
For the best outcome, follow post-care instructions closely and give your skin time to recover before diving back in. Have questions about your personalized treatment plan? Chester Skin & Wellness is here to help you achieve flawless, refreshed skinâon land or in the water.
