afterCARE

After your treatment you may have lots of small bumps where the product has been injected. These small bumps can last anywhere from 1 hour to 48 hours before dispersing under the skin.
Bruising is the most common side effect and usually shows immediately and will last for 3-5 days. There can also be some mild swelling and tenderness. This is all completely normal and generally reduces within a few days to a week. No recovery time is required, and you can return to your daily activities immediately.

-If you wish to massage the injection points to encourage breakdown of the small bumps, please do so gently to avoid bruising. Ensure your hands are clean and sanitised before touching your face.
-Do not wash your face or apply any skincare products for 4-6 hours
-Do not apply makeup for 4-6 hours. Ensure your hands and make up brushes are clean

-Avoid exercise / sweating for 24 hours
-Avoid swimming, saunas and spa environments for 48 hours
-Sleep on a clean pillowcase at night.
