After Care

What you should expect and do after your treatment

Anti-Wrinkles After Care

  • Effects will be notice after 4/5 days from treatment and maximum effect normally at 2 weeks.
  • For up to two weeks there might be some unevenness on how results will show.
  • Use the injected muscle as much as you can to accelerate the binding of the Botulinum Toxin Type A (BTX-A) to the muscle
  • It is not unusual to experience some mild side effects following anti-wrinkle injections. These include headache after treatment, tenderness, bruising, flu like symptoms, blurry vision, heaviness of eyelids which should resolve in the first 2 weeks post treatment.
  • Avoid applying any pressure in any treated area for 24 hours. This will prevent the BTX-A from leaking into adjacent muscles that we do not want to affect.
  • Avoid rubbing or massaging for 4 hours after treatment.
  • No massages or facial treatments for 2 weeks.
  • No strenuous exercise for 24 hours after treatment
  • Avoid headwear that is tightly fitted across the forehead.

Dermal Fillers After Care

  • Immediately after treatment the area injected will appear red, swollen, bruised and tender at touch. This is normal and it will resolve in few days. However, bruising and swelling can persist up to 3/4 weeks post treatment. You will also be able to feel the product when you touch the injected area (lips, cheeks, chin, jawline) . This is also normal as the product needs to integrate.
  • For lip filler treatment: lips may feel hard at touch up to 6 weeks post-treatment. For up to 3 weeks swelling can be exceptionally deceitful in this area. Please allow the lips to heal before judging the results. If considering dissolving you MUST wait 2 weeks from treatment.
  • If you have a history of cold sores we recommend to take cold sore tablets following your appointment .
  • Watch for signs of a vascular compromise. Any white or patchy discolouration in any area of the face MUST be promptly reported for immediate assessment. PLEASE TEXT US 0450898955 available 24/7.
  • Drink plenty of water
  • Use Arnica cream/tablets for bruising.
  • DO NOT massage the area. Feeling ‘lumps’ is normal as the product needs to integrate with the surrounding tissue. If massage is necessary ONLY our trained staff should do it during your follow up appointment at week 3 post procedure.
  • Avoid alcohol for 24 hours
  • DO NOT expose the area to intense heat (eg solarium, sauna, excessive sun exposure)
  • Avoid taking blood-thinning medication such as fish oil, ibuprofen, Vit E, Aspirin unless medically prescribed
  • Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours
  • Avoid smoking, this may mould the filler injected in the lips resulting in uneven volume.
  • Avoid facial treatments for 2 weeks
  • Avoid pressure on treated areas for the first few nights
