Tanning : Tanning will not affect your Restylane (dermal fillers) injections but it will affect you skin long term. Tanning (sun or tanning beds) are not good for your skin. Sun exposure (and probably tanning beds as well) are major conributors of collagen and elastin loss which will make you look older. They also contribute to skin cancer formation. Hope that helps.

Be careful: Do not tan if you have any bruising. If you get get a tan in an area where a bruise is present, long-term and even permanent discoloration can occur. Wait at least a few days after your injection to ensure there is not a bruise. But as an aside, avoid tannning as a rule as it will increase your overall risk for premature aging and skin cancer. Congratulations on your marriage!
