Aftercare.
In order to obtain the best result from your treatment, please take note of the following after care notes for each treatment type.
-
Aftercare Notes:
Mild redness and swelling around injection sites after treatment is normal and usually subsides within 30 minutes.
Antiwrinkle treatment starts to take effect within 2-5 days, reaching full effect at 14 days post injection. Sometimes, the onset of the medication may differ within the same muscle and cause temporary asymmetry. Should this occur, please wait the full 14 days as we are not able to inject any additional medication until this time
Even if you are happy with your results after your first treatment, we highly recommend you attend a review appointment so we can assess your dosing and results. At this time, we can make any adjustments if required.
Please wait up to 2 weeks for any facial.
For 4 hours avoid:
Lying down
Applying makeup
For 48 hours avoid:
Intense physical activity
Spa's/Saunas
Massage/facials
Touching/rubbing/massaging/exfoliating/applying pressure to treated areas

Aftercare Notes:
Needle entry points, redness, bruising, swelling and asymmetry around injection sites immediately after treatment is normal due to the very nature of the treatment.
There may also be some tenderness present as the bruising and inflammation sets in. These symptoms will resolve over the next 2-7 days, depending on your individual response to the treatment.
It may take a full 4 weeks for all swelling to settle; until this time we cannot re-treat.
Even if you are happy with your results after your treatment, we highly recommend you attend a review appointment. This way we can assess your results by comparing before and after images, massage the injected area if required and plan for future treatments if required.
Please wait up to 4 weeks for any massage or facial.
