Lines & Wrinkles Aftercare Advice

What is normal after a procedure?
Injections can cause small amounts of swelling, a temporary bump, redness, bruising, a mild to moderate headache, & sensations such as tingling or mild itching after the treatments. These effects are so common they can be considered a normal part of the process.

The initial effects will show in the first 2-5 days. Peak effect on the muscle is at 14 days, but
the result will continue to improve for 4 weeks or more. The benefits start to wear off after 3-4 months on average.

​

How to protect your results & reduce side effects
* Avoid exposure to UV and extreme heat for 24 hours. For example: sauna, steam, sun beds, very hot showers, extreme sun exposure, strenuous exercise, alcohol, etc
* Avoid make up and touching your face for 24 hours.
* When cleansing, avoid pressure and use gentle strokes away from the eyes.
* Avoid extreme facial expressions for 24 hours.
* Avoid facial massages or electrical stimulation of the face for 2 weeks.
* Avoid wearing tight caps or garments in the area that has been injected.
* For any swelling or bruising, you can gently apply a cold pack.
* If you need to take analgesia avoid Aspirin and Ibuprofen for the first 24 hours. Paracetamol can be used as an alternative.
