Post Care after treatment
Post Care: Anti-Wrinkle
The perfect treatment for smoother younger-looking skin.
What to expect post-treatment:
It is not unusual to experience some mild side effects following wrinkle-smoothing injections.
Tenderness
Bruising
Swelling
Needle puncture marks
Mild headache
Post Care
Anti-Wrinkle treatments can take up to 14 days to take full effect. The treated area may feel tight, particularly the forehead. Some people experience a mild headache post treatment particularly in the forehead. It can last a few hours to a few days.
Avoid the following:
Do not lay down for 4 hours.
Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours after treatment.
Do not massage the area of injection for at least 24 hours after treatment.
Do not apply makeup for 6-8 hours post-treatment.
Avoid putting any pressure on the treated area for 24-48 hours after.
Avoid facials, face waxing, IPL and Glycolic or AHA peels for two weeks post-treatment.
Results
Results can last up to 4 months and should be retreated every 3-4 months for maintenance.
Jaw Slimming Results:
Treatment can last up to 4-6 months, sometimes longer, depending on individuals’ anatomy. Consecutive treatments may increase the longevity of results. Increased dosing may be needed to achieve desired results post initial treatment.
Post Care: Dermal Filler
Everyone wants a voluminous, hydrated-looking face.
What to expect post-treatment:
It is not uncommon to experience these symptoms and they should resolve over the next few days to weeks.
Swelling
Bruising
Red needle puncture marks
Itching in the area
Asymmetry
Tenderness
Lumpiness
* The appearance of lumps and bumps is common post-dermal filler treatment. This is a short-term side effect whilst the product is in the integration process of moulding to your anatomy. Treatment areas such as jawline, cheeks and smile lines are more prone due to the viscosity of the product to best mimic the anatomy. This will soften and improve within 4 weeks of treatment.
Post Care
Immediately after treatment, you will notice some swelling. We give you a cold compress to take home. Keep applying to areas for 10 minutes every hour as required. Do not use ice directly on the skin.
Elevate the head while sleeping to decrease swelling for a minimum of 3 nights. Sleep on your back and avoid sleeping on your face.
For pain relief, paracetamol is recommended.
Over the next couple of days, massage treated areas in the shower and apply Bepanthen or a gentle moisturiser post showering with clean hands. This will help to integrate Dermal Filler.
Avoid the following:
Do not touch treated areas for 6-8 hours post-treatment.
After 6-8 hours you can gently wash your face.
Ensure your face is kept clean to minimise the risk of infection.
We recommend avoiding flying 1 to 4 days post-treatment.
Avoid alcohol 24-48 hours following treatment.
Results
Reviewing results of Dermal Filler should be performed at 4-5 weeks post-treatment (except for cosmetic emergencies including infection or vascular occlusions, which should be reviewed immediately). Reviewing before 4 weeks is not useful as there is often a small amount of swelling still present. Results cannot be judged until swelling has subsided, this is particularly important regarding symmetry.
