Precautions after temple filler injection: Avoid filler inflammation or deformation that may require correction.
Wouldn't it be better if...Filler injectionA single filler injection at the temples can yield impressive results, eliminating the need for repeated filler dissolution and re-injections, which is both time-consuming and expensive. In this section, Romrawin Clinic has listed precautions to take after temple filler injections, including what to avoid and what not to do.
Avoid eating foods that may cause allergic reactions or increase the risk of infection.
As with any procedure involving surgery, piercing, or injection that creates a wound, to avoid inflammation or infection, certain foods should be avoided after temple filler injections.
- Raw food, fermented food, pickled food
- Undercooked food, or food that has not been prepared hygienically.
- Spicy food
- Foods high in sugar.
- Dairy products
In addition, alcohol should be avoided because it can trigger inflammation after temple filler injections.
Do not pick, scratch, or touch the area where filler was injected into the temples.
After receiving temple filler injections, many people may experience slight pain, soreness, or itching from the needle marks, leading them to feel the urge to touch the temple area. However, we urge you to refrain from picking, scratching, or touching the temple area after the injection. Your hands may contain dirt, and touching the area could cause inflammation or infection.
Keep away from high temperatures.
Fillers injected under the skin need some time to set. If you are immediately exposed to high temperatures after a temple filler injection, the filler may melt and lose its shape. Therefore, after a temple filler injection, you should avoid hot places such as saunas or near a stove.
Avoid laser procedures after receiving filler injections in the temples.
Laser treatments use heat, so to prevent filler deformation, it's best to avoid laser procedures for at least one month after temple filler injection, allowing the filler to settle.
Avoid activities that expose you to sunlight.
Fillers are water-retaining substances. For them to function effectively and not degrade quickly, the skin should be kept moist and hydrated. However, sunlight can dry out and dehydrate the skin. To prevent filler from degrading quickly, it's best to avoid sun exposure after temple filler injections.
Avoid strenuous exercise after receiving filler injections in the temples.
Exercise is good, but in the initial period after temple filler injection, you should avoid exercises that increase blood circulation. This is because increased blood flow can easily cause inflammation in the injected area.
Avoid sleeping with your head pressed against your temples, or wearing a hat or any other object that might put pressure on your temples.
The temple area is prone to unintentional pressure, whether from sleeping on your side, wearing a hat, or headphones. Therefore, after temple filler injections, it's recommended to be careful not to press on the temple area, as this may cause the filler to lose its shape.
Post-injection care tips for temple filler to help the filler last longer.

But if you've forgotten or didn't catch everything the doctor said, Romrawin Clinic would like to review the post-injection recommendations to help the injection site heal faster and avoid potential side effects.
- You can wash your face normally 1-3 hours after getting temple filler injections, but avoid getting the wound wet for too long. If there is pain or swelling, you can use a cold compress, but be careful as it may prevent the filler from adhering properly.
