To ensure you get the most out of your anti-wrinkle injections and allow your skin to heal properly, please follow these aftercare instructions carefully.

✅ DO:

• Stay upright for at least 4 hours after your treatment.

• Gently move your facial muscles – frown, smile, and raise your eyebrows to help the product settle in the right areas.

• Apply a cool compress (not ice) if there is any mild swelling or discomfort.

• Keep your skin clean and makeup-free for at least 12 hours.

• Be gentle when washing your face – pat dry instead of rubbing.

• Drink plenty of water and maintain a healthy lifestyle to support your skin’s healing process.

❌ DON’T:

• Do not touch, rub, or massage the treated area for at least 24 hours.

• Avoid lying down or bending forward excessively for 4 hours post-treatment.

• No makeup or skincare products on the treated area for 12 hours.

• Avoid strenuous exercise, gym workouts, saunas, or hot baths for 24–48 hours.

• Do not consume alcohol for at least 24 hours, as it can increase the risk of bruising.

• Avoid sunbeds, tanning, or prolonged sun exposure for at least 48 hours.

• Do not schedule facials, chemical peels, or dermal treatments for at least 2 weeks after your injections.

⏳ What to Expect:

You may notice slight redness, swelling, or tiny bumps at the injection sites – this is completely normal and should settle within a few hours.

Full results usually appear within 7–14 days, and effects typically last 3–4 months.

A top-up or review appointment may be offered after 2 weeks if needed.

⚠️ If you have any concerns or unexpected side effects, please contact me directly.

This treatment triggers your body’s natural healing process to boost collagen and improve skin texture. To get the best results and avoid irritation, please follow these simple aftercare instructions:

✅ DO:

• Keep your skin clean and hydrated – use a gentle cleanser and apply a hydrating serum or healing balm recommended by your therapist.
• Use SPF 50 or higher daily – your skin will be more sensitive to sunlight after treatment.
• Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and support skin recovery.
• Avoid touching your face unnecessarily to reduce the risk of infection.
• Sleep on a clean pillowcase to prevent bacteria from coming into contact with your skin.
• Stick to the aftercare products recommended by your therapist – your skin is more absorbent now.

❌ DON’T:

• Do not wear makeup for at least 24 hours. Let your skin breathe and recover naturally.
• Avoid direct sun exposure, sunbeds, or heat treatments (like saunas or hot showers) for 48 hours.
• Do not pick, scratch, or exfoliate the treated area, even if flaking occurs – this is part of the healing process.
• Avoid using active skincare ingredients (like retinol, acids, or vitamin C) for 3–5 days unless advised.
• No swimming, heavy sweating, or gym workouts for 24–48 hours.
• Don’t use dirty makeup brushes or sponges for at least 3 days post-treatment.

🕒 What to Expect:

You may experience redness, tightness, or mild swelling – similar to a sunburn – for 24 to 48 hours. Some dryness or flaking may occur in the following days. Full results develop over several weeks as your skin produces new collagen and heals from within.

⚠️ If you experience any unusual discomfort, prolonged redness, or signs of infection, please get in touch immediately.

✅ DO:

• Keep your skin moisturised – apply a gentle, hydrating moisturiser regularly to support healing.
• Use a high SPF (50 or higher) every day – your skin will be more sensitive to the sun after a peel.
• Cleanse with a mild, non-active cleanser – be gentle and avoid hot water.
• Let your skin peel naturally – light flaking is normal as your skin renews.
• Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water to support skin recovery.
• Follow any product recommendations I’ve given specifically for your skin type and peel strength.

❌ DON’T:

• Do not pick, peel, or scratch the flaking skin – this can cause scarring or hyperpigmentation.
• Avoid direct sun exposure and heat (including saunas, hot tubs, and steam rooms) for at least 7 days.
• No exfoliating products (scrubs, acids, retinol) for at least 5–7 days or until your skin is fully healed.
• Avoid heavy makeup for at least 24 hours – give your skin time to breathe.
• Do not use harsh or fragranced skincare products – stick to simple, soothing formulas.
• No gym, sweating, or swimming for 24–48 hours post-peel.

🕒 What to Expect:

Redness and tightness are normal and usually subside within 24–48 hours. Peeling can begin anywhere from day 2 to day 5 and may last up to a week depending on the depth of the peel. Your skin may feel extra sensitive – treat it with care and patience.

⚠️ If you experience any discomfort beyond mild sensitivity, or notice signs of infection (such as intense redness, swelling, or pus), please contact me right away.

✅ DO:

• Sleep on your back with your head elevated for at least 5–7 nights to reduce swelling and avoid pressure on the treated area.
• Apply cold compresses (gently, no pressure) for short intervals during the first 24 hours if there is swelling or bruising.
• Stick to soft foods and avoid excessive facial movements (chewing, yawning) for the first few days.
• Use gentle skincare only – mild cleanser and moisturiser, avoiding the treated area as much as possible for the first 24 hours.
• Take any medications or supplements prescribed by your therapist, such as arnica for bruising or paracetamol for discomfort.
• Attend your follow-up appointment if one is scheduled.

❌ DON’T:

• Do not touch, rub, or massage the treated area for at least 2 weeks.
• Avoid facial treatments, including facials, massage, or peels for at least 2–3 weeks.
• Do not open your mouth too wide (e.g. large bites, dental appointments) for 7–10 days.
• Avoid makeup on the treated area for at least 24–48 hours.
• No strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, or bending over for 7 days.
• Avoid saunas, steam rooms, hot baths, and sunbeds for 7–10 days.
• Don’t consume alcohol or smoke for at least 48 hours – these can interfere with the healing process.

⏳ What to Expect:

• Mild swelling, bruising, tenderness, or tightness is normal and should improve within 1–2 weeks.
• You may feel the threads under the skin or notice a slight pulling sensation – this is expected and temporary.
• Results improve over time as collagen builds – with full results visible over the following 8–12 weeks.

⚠️ If you notice any unusual pain, visible thread movement, signs of infection (redness, heat, pus), or anything that doesn’t feel right, please contact me immediately.

✅ DO:

💆‍♀️ For Face:

• Keep the treated area clean and avoid touching it unnecessarily.
• Use a gentle cleanser and fragrance-free moisturiser 4–6 hours after treatment.
• Apply SPF 30+ daily to protect the skin as it heals.
• Stay hydrated – drinking plenty of water aids healing and collagen production.
• Sleep on a clean pillowcase, ideally on your back, to avoid pressure on your face.

💇‍♂️ For Hair:

• Avoid washing your hair for at least 24 hours after treatment.
• Use a gentle shampoo when washing, ideally sulphate-free.
• Stay hydrated and eat well – proper nutrition supports hair regrowth.
• Massage the scalp gently after 48 hours to improve circulation (if advised).

❌ DON’T:

💆‍♀️ For Face:

• Do not apply makeup or active skincare (retinol, acids, vitamin C) for at least 24–48 hours.
• Avoid touching, picking, or scratching the treated area.
• No direct sun exposure, saunas, steam rooms, or hot showers for 48 hours.
• Avoid alcohol and smoking for 24–48 hours – these can slow down healing.

💇‍♂️ For Hair:

• Do not use harsh hair products, dry shampoo, or dyes for at least 72 hours.
• Avoid excessive sweating, gym, or swimming for 48 hours.
• Don’t wear hats or tight headwear immediately after treatment – let your scalp breathe.
• Avoid using hair tools (dryers, straighteners) for 24–48 hours.

⏳ What to Expect:

Redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection site is normal and usually resolves within 24–48 hours. For hair PRP, shedding may occur before regrowth – this is a normal part of the cycle. Results develop gradually over several weeks as collagen and growth factors do their work.

⚠️ If you experience unusual discomfort, prolonged swelling, or signs of infection, please get in touch immediately.
