AESTHETICS Treatment After Care Guide

We highly recommend following all post treatment instructions carefully: this is essential in order to achieve the most successful outcome. Post treatment instructions concerning appropriate restriction of activity, use of post-treatment care and use of sun protection must be followed to avoid potential complications, increased pain, and unsatisfactory results.

BOTOX

Today you may have undergone a treatment in which a tiny amount of muscle relaxing protein has been injected into muscles to improve appearance. It will usually take between 3 and 10 days to start to see any muscle relaxing effect and 14 days until the full effect has been reached.

Treatments take 14 days to fully work, and last 3-4 months on average.

WHAT'S NORMAL AFTER A PROCEDURE?

Injections can cause small amounts of swelling, a temporary bump, redness, bruising, a mild to moderate headache, and sensations such as tingling or mild itching after the treatments. These effects are so common they can be considered a normal part of the process.

HOW TO PROTECT YOUR RESULT & REDUCE SIDE EFFECTS

  • Remain upright for 4 hours

  • Do not touch, rub or massage the area for 4 hours

  • When cleansing, avoid pressure and use gentle strokes away from the eyes

  • Avoid facial massages or electrical stimulation of the face for the next 2 weeks

  • Avoid wearing tight caps or garments in the area that has been injected (especially in the first 4 hours)

  • Avoid alcohol and exposure to UV and extreme heat i.e. sauna, steam, sun beds, very hot showers, strenuous exercise etc for 48 hours

  • Do not apply make-up for approximately 6 hours unless it is mineral based

  • Do not touch your face in the areas injected for 6 hours

PROFHILO

Immediately after treatment there may be slight redness, swelling, nodules, bruising, tenderness and an itching sensation in the treated area. These reactions are temporary and generally disappear in a few days. If it continues or if other reactions occur, please contact us.

HOW TO PROTECT YOUR RESULT & REDUCE SIDE EFFECTS

  • Avoid touching the treatment area for 6 hours after the treatment. After that the area can be washed with a gentle cleanser and sterile make-up can be applied

  • Until the initial swelling and redness have resolved, do not expose the treated area to intense heat (e.g. solarium and sunbathing) or extreme cold for 72 hours

  • Avoid strenuous exercise, sweating and swimming to avoid a risk of infection for 72 hours

  • Avoid alcohol, nurofen or any other blood thinner for 24 hours before and after treatment

  • Apply SPF50 sunscreen

  • Do not massage or manipulate the treated area. The nodules will dissolve by themselves without requiring manipulation in 48-72 hours

REJURAN

WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER YOUR PROCEDURE

  • Keep the treated area hydrated by applying a moisturiser or serum regularly

  • A daily hydrating mask can be applied to boost skin regeneration

  • Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 50+

  • No makeup for 24 hours

  • If you experience prolonged erythema and/or heat, a cool compression may help relieve the symptoms

HOW TO PROTECT YOUR RESULT & REDUCE SIDE EFFECTS

  • Avoid any exfoliation on the treated area for 7 days

  • Avoid excessive alcohol or blood thinners (including nurofen) for 48 hours

  • Avoid saunas, spas, and strenuous exercise to prevent further inflammation until the skin returns to normal

  • Existing acne can be temporarily exacerbated post-treatment but it usually resolves within a week

  • Do not pick or squeeze pimples or acne if any, as it may cause pigmentation

  • Avoid the use of skincare products containing active ingredients such as AHAs, retinoids, and vitamin C until your skin returns to normal

POTENTIAL COMPLICATIONS

  • Minor flaking, dryness, and peeling may last 7–10 days

  • Micro scabs may form but will fall off within a few days (7–10 days for face)

  • You will see small blebs on your face after the Rejuran injection; however, the blebs will disappear within 3 days

  • Swelling and bruising can occur on the day of treatment; bruising may surface a couple of days after treatment and may last up to 2 weeks

  • Moderate erythema (redness), swelling, and skin sensitivity (3–7 days)

  • Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (darkening of the skin): this can last from 2 weeks to 12 months and may resolve itself; however, you may need a prescribed cream to promote the healing process faster

  • Development of infection in rare cases could lead to scarring caused by picking and failure to follow aftercare instructions

  • Petechiae (pinpoint red spots caused by bleeding) may occasionally occur immediately after treatment
