AFTERCARE FOR ANTIWRINKLE TREATMENT
After your treatment you may notice small red bumps at the injection site. This is normal and will only last a short time.
Please read and follow these aftercare instructions:
- If you have any bruising at the injection site you may apply an ice pack but do not press or rub as you may cause the antiwrinkle medication to spread after the treatment.
- Do not massage or rub the treated area for at least 48 hours . You can cleanse the area, wash your face as normal but do not use a scrub.
- Avoid activities where you are likely to perspire heavily for 48 hours eg heavy exercise, use a sauna.
- Do not lie face down for 24hrs or get any other treatments which would place pressure on the treated area.
- Using the muscles injected is recommended as it helps bind the antiwrinkle medication faster to the muscles. So give yourself permission to smile, frown and pout!
If you have any questions or concerns about your antiwrinkle treatment, please contact your Cosmetic Injector.
