Dermal Fillers and Cold Sore Precautions
For patients with a history of herpes simplex or frequent cold sores, extra precautions are necessary before undergoing dermal filler treatments. At Chester Skin & Wellness in Chester, NJ, Dr. Deborah Petrowsky ensures that every treatment plan takes your medical history into account to provide both safe and effective results.
Here are some important considerations:
- Risk of reactivation: Cold sores can sometimes be triggered by the stress or minor trauma associated with injections.
- Preventive measures: Dr. Petrowsky may recommend antiviral medication before treatment to reduce the risk of an outbreak.
- Careful planning: Filler appointments are often scheduled when the patient is not experiencing any active sores, allowing for safer healing.
- Injection technique: Gentle, precise placement helps limit irritation around the lips or perioral area, where cold sores most commonly occur.
- Follow-up support: Patients receive clear aftercare instructions and monitoring to quickly address any signs of reactivation.
- Customized approach: Every patient’s plan is tailored to their health profile, ensuring that both aesthetic goals and medical safety are prioritized.
At Chester Skin & Wellness, dermal fillers are never a one-size-fits-all treatment. With Dr. Petrowsky’s expertise, patients with a history of cold sores can move forward with confidence, knowing that their care is handled with precision and preventative foresight.
