Aftercare and Advice
Today you may have undergone a treatment in which a small amount of muscle-relaxing protein has been injected into the 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.
It’s essential to be aware that, like all good things, the benefits will gradually taper off after an average of 2.5 – 4 months.
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, mild itching, sense of tightness after the treatments. These effects, while noticeable, are so common that they can be considered a natural part of the process.
Tips for a Smooth Recovery and Enhanced Results:
- Remain upright for 4 hours.
- Avoid touching the injection sites and refrain from applying pressure to minimize the risk of infection and migration of products.
- Avoid very hot showers and refrain from applying multiple skincare products over the injection site on the day of treatment to prevent skin irritation. Instead, opt for gentle cleansing with plain water before bedtime.
- Avoid alcohol, strenuous exercises, or make-ups for the next 24 hours.
- Please refrain from facial massages, electrical stimulation of the face, UV exposure, and extreme heat (such as saunas, steam rooms, and sun beds) for the next 4 weeks.
- Individuals prone to cold sores may get an outbreak after the injections, topical antiviral creams are advisable or a prescription is available from me.
- Arnica cream helps with bruising.
