FILLER
Take an antihistamine to help ease the swelling such as Piriton or Benadryl as directed
Ice the treated area intermittently
Using Arnica gel or tablets will speed up the bruising process
Massage lips 2 days after treatment, once a day for 2 weeks to keep the filler soft and natural
If you are prone to cold sores you can apply creams such as Zovirax to the lip area as a preventative, as causing trauma to the lips can cause an out break
If you have a holiday planned to a hot climate immediately after treatment, protect yourself with a high SPF and avoid exposing your face to UV rays
For cheeks, jaw and chin filler try to sleep on your back for the first two nights after treatment to prevent any pressure on the areas
Avoid applying makeup and touching the treated area for 24hrs to reduce the risk of infection
Avoid alcohol for 24hrs before and after treatment as this can cause excessive bruising and swelling
No ibuprofen or blood thinners for 48hrs post treatment to prevent excessive bruising
No massaging the area for 24-48hrs post treatment as this can subtly change the filler placement
No excessive sun or heat (e.g., sunbeds and saunas) for two weeks post treatment
If having nose filler avoid glasses for two weeks
Dermal Filler can take up to 14 days to heal fully, throughout this time it can be normal to experience some asymmetry and lumps within the healing process, most lumps can be massaged out within the healing process. Please allow the full 14 days for the filler to settle and if you feel there is any problems you would like to discuss; we can organise a review appointment to assess.
If you experience any symptoms such as pain in an area that has or has not been treated, if the treated area or anywhere on the face looks pale, mottled or has a slow capillary refill then contact Becky immediately to be assessed.
ANTI-WRINKLE

For the best results always book an anti-wrinkle appointment at least two weeks prior to any planned event
Allow 21 days for full effect
After washing your face, pat dry gently with a clean towel
Avoid extreme heat such as holidays, sunbeds, sauna and steam rooms for two weeks after treatment
Avoid applying pressure or massaging the treated area for 2-3 days following treatment
Avoid alcohol and anti-inflammatory medications before and after treatment
Do not touch the treated area for at least 4 hours
No make up for at least 24 hours post treatment to avoid risk of infection. After 24 hours ensure the make up brush is clean
Do not rub or massage the treated area, this can cause the solution to spread to nearby muscles and affect the results
No beauty treatments such as facials for two weeks post treatment
After the anti-wrinkle treatment, you may experience some temporary tenderness, swelling and bruising around the injection site, which may occur for up to two weeks after treatment. Taking an antihistamine and applying arnica gel will help speed the healing process.
