Before Your Anti-Wrinkle Treatment Help reduce the risk of bruising by avoiding any blood thinning medication, Vitamin E and alcohol for 3 days before treatment. 

Do NOT use Anti-Wrinkle if you are pregnant or breast feeding, allergic to any of its ingredients, or suffer from any neurological disorders or neuromuscular disorders. 

We recommend you come to your appointment with a clean face and no makeup on. If that is not possible, we will remove your makeup prior to injections. 

After your treatment: Activity- Avoid Exercise for 12 hours after your injection. This includes yoga. Avoid saunas and steam rooms that may increase your blood pressure. 

Pressure - Avoid facials, do NOT rub or massage the treated areas, and do NOT lie down for 4 hours after treatment. This is to avoid the risk of pressure on the treated areas and to avoid the risk of having the area rubbed accidentally. 

Results - It will take up to two weeks for you to experience the full effect of the Anti-Wrinkle treatment. Remain patient. It takes time for the muscles to lose strength and the lines to fade following Anti-Wrinkle treatments. The objective of Anti-Wrinkle treatment is to improve the appearance of the lines, not necessarily paralyse the muscle. We strongly recommend that first time Anti-Wrinkle patients follow-up in two weeks as we start with a light dose. You may need a touch-up.

Be assured that any tiny bumps or marks will go away within a few hours. If you need to apply make-up within 4 hours after your treatment, only use a GENTLE touch to avoid rubbing the treated area. Some patients experience headaches after Anti-Wrinkle injections. This headache is temporary and typically lasts 1-2 days. You may take Paracetamol for discomfort. 

Anti-Wrinkle is a temporary procedure and at first, you may find that your treatment results will last approximately 3 or 4 months. If you maintain your treatment appointments with the frequency recommended by your injector the duration of each treatment result may last longer than 4 months. We are able to create the best clinical results for you during this period. Lasting results come with consistency.

After treatment there may be redness, swelling and tenderness, also an itchiness sensation in the treated area. This is a normal result of the product/injection – the inconvenience is temporary and generally disappears in a day or two. 

Apply an ice pack to the treated area; this will reduce the initial swelling. 

If you are having a lip treatment the initial swelling may last longer. It can last for 7– 14 days and the lips may look somewhat uneven during this time. Therefore, the results directly after the treatment should not be seen as the final result. 

If you are having filler in the cheeks, it is common for the area to feel tender and possibly harder than usual for a couple of weeks.

Avoid touching the treated area within 6 hours following treatment. After that, light makeup can be applied, and the area can be gently washed with soap and water. Should any small lumps appear, you may massage them after 2 weeks. 

Avoid make up for 6 hours after the treatment.

Avoid alcohol for 24 hours. 

For best results, stay well hydrated by drinking 2 litres of water a day – filler is hydrophilic, which means it attracts water. 

Until the initial swelling, bruising and redness have resolved, do not expose the treated area to intense heat e.g. solarium, sunbathing or extreme coldness. Avoid heavy exercise for 24 hours.

If you have previously suffered from facial herpes, there is a risk that the injections could contribute to another eruption of herpes (cold sores etc.). 

If you are using asprin or any similar medication, be aware that this may increase the risk of bruising or bleeding at the injection site. 

You may have another treatment of filler 2 weeks after this one if required. Any additional products will be charged at the normal price per syringe. 

Dermal filler is absorbed by the skin over time. Most clients choose to be treated again within 6 months of the original treatment.
