Anti wrinkle aftercare

Thank you for choosing our clinic to provide you with your anti wrinkle treatment. To ensure the best results and a smooth recovery, please follow these aftercare guidelines:

 

Immediate post-treatment care:

  • Avoid touching the treated area: Refrain from touching or rubbing the treated area for at least six hours after the procedure to prevent the spread of the toxin.

  • Stay upright: Remain upright for the first few hours after the treatment. This helps to prevent the Botox from spreading to unintended areas.

  • Avoid strenuous activities: Refrain from vigorous exercise, saunas, or hot tubs for the remainder of the day to minimize the risk of bruising and swelling.  If you sweat immediately after having the treatment you can sweat out the toxin!

General aftercare:

  • Facial expressions: While the toxin temporarily reduces muscle activity, it is important to maintain natural facial expressions. Avoid excessive facial movements to ensure optimal results.

  • Avoid sun exposure: Protect your skin from direct sunlight and tanning beds for at least 24 hours post-treatment. If sun exposure is unavoidable, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30.

  • No alcohol: Refrain from consuming alcoholic beverages for the first 24 hours after the procedure. Alcohol can increase the risk of bruising.

  • Gentle cleansing: Cleanse your face gently and avoid aggressive facial massages for the first few days after treatment.

  • No makeup for 24 hours: Avoid applying makeup for the first 24 hours post-treatment to reduce the risk of infection and irritation.

 

Possible side effects:

  • Temporary bruising: Bruising at the injection site is common but usually resolves within a few days. You can use arnica cream to help reduce bruising.

  • Swelling: Mild swelling may occur. Applying a cold compress can help alleviate swelling.

  • Headache: Some patients may experience mild headaches post-treatment. Over-the-counter pain relievers like paracetamol can be taken if necessary.

Follow-up appointment:

Please schedule a follow-up appointment if you haven’t done so already.  We recommend you visit us between 14 and 21 days after your initial treatment so we can assess and address any concerns you may have.  We are unable to inject you again after 21 days.
