Aftercare Advice

Anti-Wrinkle Aftercare
-
Some patients experience slight discomfort around the treatment area for a short time after treatment
-
Please ensure to sit up right for 4hrs after treatment and avoid laying down or leaning forward to avoid placement movement of the antiwrinkle treatment.
-
Bruising can be avoided or minimised by avoiding aspirin, ibuprofen and alcohol for 24 hours pre & post treatment
-
You may experience temporary swelling within a day or two. Some patients experience a headache following treatment for which you may take paracetamol.
-
The results are not permanent and the duration will differ from patient to patient.
-
The treatment normally takes 4-10 days to take effect.
-
Side effects, if they occur, are usually temporary and mild to moderate.
-
This type of treatment lasts approximately 3-6months in total and movement will start to return anytime.
-
Please ensure to allow at least three weeks before having antiwrinkle treatment after a COVID jab or allow 3 weeks after antiwrinkle treatment before having a COVID jab due to possible interactions and complications.

Dermal Filler Aftercare
-
Bruising can be avoided or minimised by avoiding aspirin, ibuprofen and alcohol for 24 hours pre & post treatment.
-
Immediately after the treatment, there may be slight redness, swelling tenderness and an itching sensation in the treated area. This is a normal result of the injection.
-
The inconvenience is temporary and generally disappears after a day or two.
-
If the inconvenience continues or if other reactions occur, please contact the practice.
-
Apply an ice pack to the treated area, this will reduce initial swelling.
-
If you are having lip treatment the initial swelling may last longer.
-
It can last for about a week and the lips may look somewhat uneven during this time, therefore, the result directly after this treatment should not be seen as the final result.
-
Avoid touching the treated area within 6 hours following the treatment.
-
After that, light make up can be applied and the area gently washed with soap and water.
-
Until the initial swelling and redness have resolved, do not expose the treated area to intense heat (eg solarium or sunbathing) or extreme cold – advised to wait at least 10-14 days.
-
Please avoid strenuous exercise for at least 24hrs or until swelling has resolved.
-
If you have previously suffered from facial cold sores, there is a risk that the needle punctures could contribute to another eruption of cold sores.
-
If you are using aspirin or any similar medication, be aware that these may increase bruising and bleeding at the injection site.
-
Since the dermal filler is absorbed, the correction effect reduces over time.
-
Most people choose to be treated again within six months of the original treatment.
-
Please DO NOT attend the clinic for treatment if unwell, run down or on antibiotics as there is a risk healing will be delayed or impaired as a result.
-
Please ensure to allow at least three weeks before having dermal filler after a COVID jab or allow 3 weeks after dermal filler before having a COVID jab due to possible interactions and complications.
