At Chester Skin & Wellness in Chester Township, NJ, Dr. Deborah Petrowsky takes a thoughtful, personalized approach to dermal filler treatments—including how they interact with your current skincare routine. One of the most common questions we hear is, “Will my skincare products react with the filler?”
Dermal fillers, particularly those made with hyaluronic acid (HA), are biocompatible and designed to work in harmony with your skin. However, aftercare matters, and understanding which ingredients to pause or avoid post-treatment can help protect your results and minimize irritation.
Here’s what you should know:
-HA fillers are naturally occurring: Hyaluronic acid is already present in your body, making allergic reactions extremely rare.
-No direct interaction with skincare: Fillers sit beneath the skin and don’t chemically react with topical products.
-Post-treatment precautions: Avoid active ingredients (like retinol or glycolic acid) for 24–48 hours to reduce the risk of sensitivity.
-Fragrance-free is best: Stick to gentle, fragrance-free cleansers and moisturizers after your session.
-Sun protection is key: Always use SPF to protect the treated area and maintain skin health.
-Consultation matters: Dr. Petrowsky reviews your skincare regimen before treatment to make sure it complements—not conflicts with—your results.
With expert guidance and the right product knowledge, you can enjoy smooth, glowing skin without compromising your favorite skincare routine.
