aftercare & FAQ

At Ziba Aesthetics in St Ives, Cambridgeshire, we want you to feel confident, comfortable, and well cared for after every treatment. Following the correct aftercare helps your results last longer and ensures your skin heals beautifully.

Here are some of our most frequently asked aftercare questions for Dermal Fillers, Botox, and Microneedling, with expert tips from our practitioners.

DERMAL FILLERS

How should I care for my skin after dermal fillers?

After your dermal fillers treatment (including tear trough dermal fillers or dermal fillers under eyes), avoid touching or massaging the treated area for 24–48 hours unless advised by your practitioner. Avoid saunas, hot tubs, hot showers, and intense workouts for at least 48 hours to minimise swelling and bruising.

Can I drink alcohol after getting dermal fillers?

Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications such as aspirin or ibuprofen for 24–48 hours after treatment to help reduce bruising risk.

How should I sleep after dermal fillers?

Sleep on your back with your head slightly elevated for the first few nights. Avoid sleeping on your face so the filler can settle evenly.

How can I reduce swelling or bruising after dermal fillers?

Use a cold compress gently on the treated area—but don’t apply ice directly to your skin. Stay hydrated and protect your skin from the sun with SPF 30+ and a hat to prevent pigmentation changes.

How long does it take for dermal filler results to settle?

Some swelling or redness is normal and can take a few days to a week to fully settle as the filler integrates naturally.

When should I contact my practitioner?

If you experience persistent swelling, redness, severe pain, or any unusual symptoms, seek medical advice immediately.

botox

How soon after Botox can I lie down?

Avoid lying down for at least 4 hours after your Botox treatment to prevent product migration.

Can I touch my face after Botox?

Avoid touching, rubbing, or massaging the injection sites for 24 hours so your Botox can settle correctly.

Can I exercise after Botox?

Skip strenuous workouts or activities that increase blood flow for at least 24 hours to help maintain your results.

When will I see my Botox results?

Most clients begin to notice results within a few days, with full results visible after around two weeks. Any temporary redness or swelling should fade within hours to a few days.

When should I contact my Botox provider?

If you experience significant pain, sudden drooping, vision changes, or breathing difficulties, contact your provider immediately or seek medical attention.

microneedling

What should I do right after microneedling?

Keep your skin clean and avoid touching your face with unwashed hands for the first 24 hours. Use a gentle, non-irritating cleanser recommended by your practitioner.

What skincare should I avoid after microneedling?

Avoid exfoliants and active ingredients such as retinol, glycolic acid, or salicylic acid for 48–72 hours to prevent irritation.

Can I wear makeup after microneedling?

Avoid wearing makeup for 24–48 hours post-treatment to reduce irritation or infection risk.

Can I exercise or use a sauna after microneedling?

Avoid hot showers, saunas, swimming, and strenuous exercise for at least 24–48 hours after treatment.

My skin is flaking—should I exfoliate?

No—avoid picking or exfoliating your skin while it heals. Instead, use hydrating serums or moisturisers as recommended and drink plenty of water.

How long does microneedling take to heal?

Redness usually settles within a few days, and your glowing new skin will continue to improve over the following weeks.
