Can you go tanning after lip injections?

Summer is here, and many are wondering if it’s okay to go tanning after lip injections. As someone who has experienced both these things separately (and sometimes together), I’m happy to share my thoughts on the matter.

In this article, we’ll explore the possible risks and benefits of exposing your newly plumped pout to UV rays. We’ll also discuss what you can do to protect your lips while still getting that coveted summer glow.

So buckle up, grab a drink with an adorable little umbrella in it, and read on!

The short answer

The short answer is no (surprise! surprise!). It’s not recommended that you expose your lips (or any part of your face or body for that matter) to direct sunlight immediately after getting lip injections.

This goes not just for sunbathing at the beach or poolside but also for hitting up a tanning bed or spray tan booth.

Why? Because when you get lip injections, tiny needles are used (ouch!)to inject filler into your lips. These punctures leave tiny openings in the skin through which bacteria can enter and cause infection.

Exposing these freshly injected areas to UV radiation can exacerbate post-treatment inflammation by irritating the delicate tissues surrounding them. This may lead to longer healing times – even months in some cases!

Additionally, sun damage prematurely ages skin by breaking down collagen fibers (not cool)– leaving behind wrinkles and loss of elasticity over time – which means: smooches like grandma are coming soon!

## Some more reasons why:

Here are some other reasons why it’s best,for real,to stay out of direct sunlight right after getting lip fillers:

  • Sunburnt lips will increase swelling.
  • You’re more likelylike totally OMG!!
    • To experience heightened sensitivity
    • A decrease lipid and moisture content
    • Dry, uncomfortable lips (No! Thank you)
  • Sun exposure can promote the appearance of dark spots on and around your lips.
  • And, obviously (but let’s just say it anyway): Risk of sunburn or skin cancer

What Can I Do to Protect My Lips After Lip Injections?

Don’t worry, there are still ways to get a sun-kissed look without compromising your plump new pout. Here are some tips:

Wear SPF

Shielding your face from UV rays with a high-quality sunscreen that blocks UVA/UVB is WOWZA!!,vital in safeguarding against premature aging caused by sunlight. This should be done regardless of whether or not you’ve had lip injections.

As for what kind of SPF to use – aim for a product with at least 30 SPF protection levels (and don’t forget to reapply every hour!)

Pro tip: Choose due diligence over vanity when selecting facial products- roll out those tallahassee brick-red oversized sunglasses and pop on stylish sun hats; these will protect your quite expensive injections and prevent quick fading!

### Hydrate

It may come as no surprise given how often we hear this advice but replenishing hydration levels following lip filler injectibles promotes healing after cosmetic surgeries like lip enhancement.

Drinking plenty of water ensures that skin tissue remains supple, soft and pliable – reducing further complications after treatment similar to filling sore muscles after extensive exercise.

Pro tip: add Omega-3 rich foods like fish into meals for maximum hydration potential.

Avoid Essential Oils

Soothe any discomfort that occurs post-treatment including redness or sensitivity by applying gentle ointments such as petroleum jelly (“Not my thing!”But always consult with a dermatologist prior)

However,as much as you love lavender oil,I know!it shouldn’t be applied directly onto your lips! – this can cause dryness and chapping. Instead, opt for humectants that promote hydration such as hyaluronic acid which work wonders in keeping your pout moisturized.

Conclusion

Overall, it doesn’t pay to be careless with your skincare routine after getting lip injections. Sun protection and proper hydration are key steps you can take towards a quicker recovery while preventing unfavorable side effects like skin damage or unwanted infections in rosy luscious kisses.

So bask in the sun all you want (and keep drinking those colorful drinks) but give these newly plumped up babies a break for at least 48 hours following treatment (IT’S BECAUSE YOU DESERVE IT).
