After getting PDO threads in Valparaiso, your provider will walk you through any necessary aftercare. It’s normal to experience mild swelling, bruising, and/or tenderness around the insertion sites. This typically subsides within a week.
Some general post-care guidelines are:
- Avoid touching or rubbing the treated areas for at least 24 to 48 hours.
- Apply ice packs intermittently to reduce swelling and discomfort.
- Avoid strenuous exercise and activities that strain facial muscles for about 1 to 2 weeks.
- Sleep with your head elevated to minimize swelling.
- Avoid excessive sun exposure, and use sunscreen to protect your skin.
