How long does it take to work
Usually it takes 2-3 weeks to see the full result and if anything needs ‘tweaking’.
What's better to do before the treatment
Very little preparation is required on the part of the patient.
- In order to reduce the risk of bruising, the use of blood thinning agents such as anti-inflammatory medications and fish oils can be ceased in the week leading up to your treatment. However, we advise you to consult with your GP before ceasing any medications.
- Avoid any large intakes of alcohol for 24 hours as this increases the risk of bruising.
- If you have a managed illness, I advise you also discuss the use of injectables with your doctor/specialist. If for any reason we need to delay or not proceed with your treatment, you will not be charged for the consultation.
Aftercare requirements
- Keep injection sites clean
- Don’t touch or rub the injected area
- Avoid lying flat for at least 4 hours post treatment
- Use gentle facial cleansers and creams while your skin is recovering
- Avoid sun exposure and heat treatments such as saunas and hot tubs for 24-48 hours

- A cool compress may help to reduce pain and swelling
