After treatment it is expected that you will start to see an improvement within 5 to 10 days. For some people this takes longer. The full result may be judged at 2 weeks. You will be invited to attend a review appointment at 2 weeks where the success of the treatment may be assessed and adjustments to your personal treatment plan made, if necessary.

 

Small red spots on the skin usually disappear in a few hours. Transient stinging of the skin is normal after injection (10-15 minutes). If bruising is to occur, it is usually is apparent at day 2-3 and will typically resolve over 5-10 days, although this is rare. You will not see any effect for around 4 days and the full effect is visible at around 2-3 weeks.

 

What to do after treatment

 

• Drink plenty of fluids but avoid hot drinks

• Please do not wear your normal make up for 12 hours 

• In the evening of the treatment you may gently wash your face and use your regular wash and lotions

• You may gently apply a cool compress to any red or swollen areas for the first 48 hours to help decrease the swelling more quickly. No pressure is to be exerted onto the face. The compress should only be gently placed on the treated areas

• Remain upright either sitting or standing for at least 6 hours after treatment to avoid uneven distribution of product. Do not sleep with pressure on the face

• You may commence bathing the day after the procedure

• Wash your face very carefully, applying no pressure to the skin for 2 days

• You may require further treatment to obtain the desired results. You may be offered a follow up appointment for 4 weeks after your initial procedure

• If you are a smoker it may be recommended that you take vitamin c prior to the procedure to assist with healing.

• You may require further injections to obtain the desired results. You will be offered a follow up appointment for 2 weeks after your initial procedure. Any more than 4 weeks after the date of the procedure is not covered by the review appointment process.

 

What NOT to do after treatment

 

• Do not massage the area treated for the first 2 days following treatment. No facials, waxing or massage for the first 2 weeks
