Post-Treatment Instructions

Following Your Treatment

It is normal to experience mild redness, swelling, tenderness, pinpoint bleeding, or bruising at the injection sites. These effects are usually temporary and resolve within a few days.

The effects of treatment are not immediate. Early changes may begin to appear within several days, with the full effect generally developing over 4 weeks for face, and 8 weeks for slimming of masseters and body muslces.

For the First Few Hours

Remain upright where practical.
Avoid lying flat.
Avoid rubbing, massaging, or applying pressure to the treated areas.
Avoid facials or other treatments that place pressure on the treated areas.

For the First 24 Hours

Avoid strenuous exercise.
Avoid excessive heat exposure, including saunas, steam rooms, hot yoga, and very hot showers.
Avoid alcohol where possible, as this may increase redness and bruising.
Avoid facial massage and beauty treatments in the treated areas.
Avoid wearing tight headwear that may place pressure on treated areas where applicable.

What to Expect

Minor redness, swelling, tenderness, or bruising may occur at injection sites.
Treatment effects develop gradually and may continue to change over the first 2–4 weeks.
It is common for one side of the face to respond slightly differently during the settling period.
Treatment outcomes should not be assessed until the treatment has reached its full effect, which may take up to 2–4 weeks.
