anti-wrinkle injections
Pre-treatment instructions
Post-treatment instructions (BOTOX)
Post-treatment Instructions (DERMAL FILLER)
- Schedule your dermal filler and botox appointment at least 2 weeks prior to a special event which you may be attending.
- Results from the dermal filler and botox injections will take approximately 3 - 14 days to appear. Bruising and swelling may be apparent in the 3 - 14 day period.
- Be sure to have a good breakfast, including food and water before your appointment. This will decrease the chances of you feeling light headed during the appointment.
Post-treatment instructions (BOTOX)
- Do not manipulate the treated area for 24 hours following your appointment.
- Do not lie down for 4 hours following your appointment.
- After your appointment, it can take 3 - 14 days for results to be seen. If the desired result is not seen after 14 days, your treatment may need further product added. You are charged for the amount of product used, so therefore will be required to pay the cost of additional product used during any follow up appointments.
- Do not perform activities that cause you to strain at all for 24 hours post your appointment. This includes heavy lifting or vigorous exercise. This will keep the botox in the injected area and prevent it from moving elsewhere.
- Keep the area clean post appointment. Do not do anything that may introduce bacteria to the area that has just been treated.
Post-treatment Instructions (DERMAL FILLER)
- Avoid significant movement or massage of the treated area for 24 hours post appointment (unless instructed by the provider).
- Avoid strenuous exercise for at least 2 hours post appointment.
- Avoid extensive sun or heat exposure for at least 72 hours post appointment.
- Avoid consuming excessive amounts of alcohol or salts to avoid excess swelling.

- Try to sleep face up and slightly elevated if you experience a lot of swelling.

- No botox around the lip area within two weeks of your appointment. Filler must be done at least 4 weeks prior to your lip appointment with us.
- Exfoliate your lips in the days leading up to your appointment to ensure they are hydrated, not dry or chapped.
- COLD SORES - if you have ever had cold sores on your lips, it is recommended that you take lysine tablets for 3 weeks leading up to your appointment or a 3 day course of Famvir antifungal tablets from a pharmacy. Lip tattooing procedures cause stress to the lip and this may cause a cold sore outbreak. If this does happen, Zovirax can be used as a treatment.
Post-treatment instructions
- After your appointment, you must apply the aftercare cream constantly to keep the lips moist.
- If you fail to keep the lips moist, they will tighten and the colour will fall out.
