Aftercare Advice

Anti-Wrinkle/ Muscle Relaxant

What to expect post-treatment and how to avoid side effects.

  • Avoid putting pressure on the injected areas for 4-6 hours. Try not to sleep directly on the areas injected for 12 hours.
  • Avoid alcohol and anti-inflammatories to avoid bruising in the first 48 hours.
  • Avoid heat inducing activities such as gym, yoga, sauna, and don’t get face down massages for 24-48 hours to avoid displacing the product.
  • For 2 weeks after your treatment avoid all other facial/aesthetic treatments; including waxing, laser hair removal, chemical peels or physical exfoliants.
  • Use sunscreen & avoid prolonged sun exposure – it can reduce the effect and lifespan.
  • Effects take 2-8 days to show. Full effect is by day 14. Some muscle movement will increase by weeks 6-9. Muscle movement will be back to baseline between 2 to 5 months in most cases. This depends on the strength of the dose, the area treated, and how sensitive you are to the drug. We don’t advise full retreatment before 12 weeks as this may cause resistance over time.
  • If you notice any asymmetry or movement patterns you dislike, please contact us via email or book a review appointment online and we will happily correct any issues at no charge.
  • Any extra dosing of up to 10% of original dose for corrections or adjustments is free of charge. If any area does not take properly, we will retreat free of charge. If an area wears off too quickly, we may be able to retreat (at no charge) or credit you extra units for your next treatment. Please let us know via email or book online for a review at week 2-3 post initial dose.

Dermal Filler

For the best results from your dermal filler treatment.

  • Please email us immediately if you notice any NEW intense pain, numbness, or discolouration near the injected areas. Also contact us if you notice fevers, pus or redness after day 3.
  • Do not apply makeup over the injection sites for 4 hours to minimize the risk of infection.
  • Avoid alcohol and anti-inflammatories to avoid bruising in the first 48 hours.
  • Avoid pressure and sleeping on the injected area for 1 week unless instructed otherwise.
  • Filler may last anywhere from 6 to 24 months. It may break down quicker if: an area moves a lot, you have high levels of hyaluronidase (dissolver) in the area, or if you have high levels of oxidative stress. If you are young and female, you will break down filler quicker.
  • The results of fillers usually fade before the gel is broken down. This is because the force on it over time will squash the gel down or move it away from the area (like with lips). Some people are prone to this. If the filler has migrated, we can dissolve and reverse it.
  • Results are noticeable straight away but may continue to improve over the next 4 weeks. Please book online for a review if you think any adjustments may be helpful or are unsure about anything.
  • Swelling is expected – especially in the jaw and lips. Your results may look asymmetrical whilst still swollen. Swelling is worse over the next 2 days and may take up to 2 weeks to fully resolve.
  • Bumps can normally be felt under the skin for up to 6 weeks. If you have visible bumps, please let us know so we can help you get rid of them.
