Aftercare Advice 

You...but better.

Anti Wrinkle Injections

After treatment, most people can resume their normal daily activities. Immediately after treatment, there may be some redness, minor swelling at the injection sites and pin-prick marks, which should settle in time. If you develop any bruising, which may be apparent at the time of treatment or may even develop over the following days, it is usually minor and can be covered with make-up. Occasionally, more significant bruising can occur. Rarely, you may develop a headache after treatment which can last a few days. Simple analgesia can be taken for this if needed.

Many practitioners advise the following:

• Do not apply make-up for 12 hours after treatment to reduce the risk of infection.
• Try to avoid touching or rubbing the treated area until the following day as you may affect the results of treatment.
• Avoid extremes of hot or cold and vigorous exercise on the day of treatment.
• Contact your practitioner if you experience any unwanted side-effects.

• Avoid saunas, swimming pools and sunbeds until the initial swelling and redness has settled.
• Try to avoid touching or rubbing the treated area until the following day, as you may affect the results of treatment or cause infection, unless otherwise advised by your treating practitioner.

• Contact your practitioner if you experience any unwanted side-effects.
