AFTERCARE ADVICE

FILLER AFTERCARE

  • Avoid touching the treated area or applying any makeup or products for 6 hours following the treatment.
  • Until the initial swelling and redness has resolved please do not expose the area to intense heat, eg: sunbeds, sunbathing or extreme cold
  • Avoid exercise for 48 hours after the procedure as this can cause migration of filler
  • If you have previously suffered facial herpes, there is a risk that injections could contribute to another eruption so it is recommended to take treatment to minimise this risk
  • If you are using aspirin or any similar medication, please be aware that this may increase risk of bruising or bleeding at the injection site
  • If you feel any lumps after 48 hours these can be massaged
  • Sleeping slightly elevated the first evening can help reduce swelling
  • For cheek filler it is advised to avoid sleeping on your cheeks for 2 nights
  • For nose filler, please avoid wearing glasses/ sunglasses for 3 days

Any injection causes an inflammatory response – this means two things:

 

  1. This is not your final result- It is not uncommon for the treatment area to remain swollen for up to two weeks. During this time the area may look very uneven, feel bumpy, bruised, discoloured and may feel sore. Please do not panic. It is normal during this period to not be entirely happy with your results. Patience here is key. The final result will be apparent approximately 14 days after the treatment.
  2. This is not your final result- Any injection caused an inflammatory response. This can easily cause disappointment over the following weeks because as the swelling subsides, the treatment area may look significantly less plump than it looked immediately after injection.

The filler has not dissolved nor disappeared, you have not wasted your money. The filler has simply sunken and formed a layer at the base of your treatment area. Many clients find they need two or three sessions in order to layer filler on top of one another – until the filler no longer has room to sink- leaving you with a fuller look.

 

Unfortunately we cannot predict how many sessions each individual will need to achieve their desired result and therefore cannot be held accountable if several sessions are needed. The results of your treatment durability are influenced by several genetic and lifestyle factors completely out of our control. Aesthetics is an art process – not an exact science.

BOTOX AFTERCARE

  • Avoid touching the treated area or applying any makeup or products for 6 hours following the treatment.
  • Avoid exercise for 48 hours after the procedure.
  • Avoid laying the head flat for 6 hours post treatment.
  • Don’t get a facial or head massage for a full 48 hours after Botox. You should also avoid rubbing your face in the area that was treated.
  • If you are using aspirin or any similar medication, please be aware that this may increase risk of bruising or bleeding at the injection site.
  • Avoid saunas, hot tubs, steam rooms or tanning booths for 48 hours post treatment.
  • Avoid drink alcohol for 48 hours post treatment.

Anti-wrinkle injections can take 14 days to have full affect so please allow this time to see your results. After the 14 days if you feel there are any adjustments required you can book in for a review. Reviews must be between 2 and 3 weeks from your initial treatment.
