Botox Aftercare Advice

For the rest of the day, avoid:

  • Touching the injection sites
  • Hot yoga, sauna, steam, heavy exercise
  • Facial treatments

Makeup - you can put your makeup on immediately.

Results

  • There will be nothing to see to begin with.
  • You should start to see changes in 3-4 days
  • Full results after 10 days

Review

We offer a free of charge review 10 days - 3 weeks after treatment. Book this if it's your first treatment with us or you think you need an adjustment.

It is important that you book your review with the same practitioner that did your treatment. If you book with a practitioner that is more expensive, there will be a small charge to pay.

If, for whatever reason, more than 3 weeks have passed, you can still have your complimentary review but you may not receive any further Botox.

Next treatment

If you'd like to repeat your treatment, you can do so after at least 3 months have passed.

 

 Flying is no problem after treatment.

  

 

Dermal Filler Aftercare Advice

 For the rest of the day, avoid:

  • Touching the area
  • Hot yoga, sauna, steam, heavy exercise at least for the rest of the day
  • Facial treatments for a few days - wait until any tenderness or swelling has settled.

Makeup - Please avoid putting your make up on for 6 hours after treatment.

Numbness from anaesthetic

Any numbness you have from the anaesthetic in the filler will pass in 30mins or so. If you have numb lips, avoid hot drinks until the anaesthetic has worn off to avoid burns.

Tenderness

You may be a little tender in the areas treated... this is normal and will pass. If you need to, take paracetamol (not ibuprofen or aspirin which can increase the chance of bruising).

Bruising

It is possible that you have a bruise (or that one will develop over the next few hours). These may get worse before they get better but can be covered with makeup (not within 4 hours of treatment).
 
If any swelling, tenderness and/or bruising isn't improving in the next 48hrs, please email some photos and add as much detail as you can. 

If you have significant swelling, tenderness or bruising, please email your photos and get in touch ASAP.

Flying

If you are flying any time soon, please contact us for individual advice. If you have had a small simple treatment, flying should not be a problem.
