If you have been thinking about botox and fillers this period, surely the first dilemma has been: Are the treatments done during the summer? 

Many people have the impression that botox and sunlight are not related to each other. The truth is that in some cases the swelling and slight redness that comes after injection treatment can get worse if the skin is exposed to direct light and UVA and UVB rays. However, you should also know that immediate exposure to the sun after a botox treatment would not reduce the injection results.

Botox can also prevent summer wrinkles

During the summer, the sun is stronger and brighter and despite the fact that we can wear glasses all the time, we can not escape the wrinkling of the forehead or the blinking of the eyes more than usual. 

This causes the area around the eyes to wrinkle - especially if your skin tends to be dry. Botox during the summer can eliminate the formation of these wrinkles by preventing muscle contraction whenever we pulsate our eyes or smile.

Since summer does not require much makeup, a good portion of people decide to rely on botox for smooth skin, natural glow and freshness that lasts longer over time.

What about fillers?

Both botox and fillers are used to reduce facial lines and wrinkles. Fillers are usually used on areas that may have lost volume such as lips, cheekbones or hands. One of the most common products found in fillers is hyaluronic acid. This is important to know because, unlike Botox, which is a neuro-receptor-binding chemical, hyaluronic acid can be degraded due to exposure to UV rays.

So it is necessary to avoid sun exposure if you do filler treatments or strictly follow the tips below:

1. For 1 or 2 weeks try to stay away from the sun.

2. Every time you go out, remember the SPF and wear hats and goggles.

Apply an antioxidant cream or serum to reduce wrinkles and skin aging from harmful rays.
