You’ve invested in your skin—whether it’s Botox, fillers, or skin boosters—so naturally, you want to make those results last as long as possible. The good news? With the right care, you can get the most out of your treatments and keep that refreshed, natural look for longer.
At our Cheadle clinic, we believe great results aren’t just about what happens in the treatment chair—it’s about how you maintain them afterward. Here’s what you need to know.
1. Follow Aftercare Instructions (Yes, They Matter!)
It might sound obvious, but proper aftercare plays a huge role in how well your treatment settles and how long it lasts.
✔️ Botox: Avoid rubbing your face, strenuous exercise, and lying flat for a few hours after treatment. This helps prevent the product from migrating.
✔️ Fillers: No excessive touching, facials, or alcohol for 24 hours—this reduces swelling and bruising.
✔️ Skin Boosters: Keep skin hydrated and avoid harsh exfoliants for a few days post-treatment to allow deep hydration to work its magic.
2. Protect Your Skin from the Sun
Sun exposure is the quickest way to break down Botox and fillers. UV rays accelerate collagen breakdown and inflammation, which can reduce the lifespan of your treatment.
✅ Wear SPF 30+ daily (yes, even in the UK!)
✅ Use sunglasses to avoid squinting (which can deepen lines)
✅ Stay in the shade where possible, especially after fresh treatments
Want to keep that plump, youthful glow for longer? Sunscreen is non-negotiable.
3. Stay Hydrated and Nourished
Your skin needs hydration and the right nutrients to keep looking its best.
💦 For fillers – Hyaluronic acid-based fillers attract water, so drinking plenty of water helps maintain volume and smoothness.
🥦 For Botox and fillers – A diet rich in antioxidants, zinc, and healthy fats supports collagen production and skin repair.
🍷 Limit alcohol & caffeine – These dehydrate the skin and may speed up breakdown of fillers.
A healthy, hydrated body = longer-lasting results.
4. Keep Up a Good Skincare Routine
Your daily routine makes all the difference when it comes to prolonging your results. If you’re not looking after your skin, you’ll see lines and volume loss return sooner than you’d like.
🧴 Hydrating serums & moisturisers keep skin plump and fresh
💛 Retinol & vitamin C help maintain collagen and skin elasticity
🚫 Avoid harsh scrubs that can irritate the skin and speed up filler breakdown

5. Book Maintenance Appointments at the Right Time
Trying to “stretch out” treatments too long can undo your results. Instead of waiting for Botox or fillers to fully wear off, small top-ups at the right intervals help maintain natural-looking enhancements.
💉 Botox lasts around 3–4 months—regular top-ups keep muscles trained for softer lines over time.
💉 Fillers last 6–18 months, depending on the area—little refreshes help maintain volume subtly.
💉 Skin boosters work best when done in a course—consistency is key.
The Bottom Line: Long-Lasting Results Start with Expert Care
Good treatments shouldn’t be a one-off—they should be part of a long-term plan tailored to you. That’s where we come in.
