Final results will typically be visible after 3-6 months as your body continues to produce new collagen and eliminate fat cells. Multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal results.

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.

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.
