How Long Will My Downtime Be?
Many patients ask how long it will take before they feel and appear more like themselves again after a medical aesthetic treatment or procedure. The answer varies from person to person and depends on the type of treatment performed.
Recovery is influenced by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Intrinsic factors can include underlying health conditions (for example, diabetes or autoimmune conditions) and the use of medications such as anticoagulants. Extrinsic factors are usually modifiable and may include alcohol intake, smoking, unnecessary massaging of the treated area (unless specifically advised), and vigorous exercise shortly after treatment.
During injectable treatments, remaining as relaxed as possible can help keep blood pressure stable and may reduce the likelihood or severity of bruising.
