Voluma
Will steam from facial affect my fillers? My fillers (voluma) were injected 7 days ago.
You may still be swollen 7 days after having a treatment with Voluma, but since the product is injected deep under the skin, the steam should not impact the filler. Let your aesthetician know any treatments that you've had recently so that they are aware and they can make appropriate recommendations.
Clinical Context
Steam from a facial stays on the skin's surface and doesn't reach deep enough to move or dissolve Voluma, which is placed well below the surface. What matters more this early is avoiding firm pressure, massage, or extractions near the treated area, since swelling and settling are still happening. If your esthetician knows you've had filler recently, they can skip deep pressure techniques and keep the treatment gentle.
