Pre & Post Treatment

Please wear little to no skin makeup on the day of your appointment although I do clean your skin with a cleaning solution prior to injection. Ideally you should not have taken Aspirin  or an equivalent blood thinner in the 3 days prior to your treatment. Recent ingestion of Omega-3/fish oils can also increase bleeding and mild bruising. For treatment for excess underarm sweating it it is ideal if armpits have been shaved around 3 days beforehand - although this is not essential. The needles used are tiny - you will feel minimal to no discomfort during your procedure.

 

Following your treatment with neuromodulators:

​

  • Avoid high intensity exercise for the first 24 hours 

  • Avoid touching or rubbing the injected areas

  • Remain upright for 3-4 hours after injection (Do not rest your head)

  • Exercise the injected muscles (pull funny faces)

  • The full effect will become apparent after 2 weeks, although you may start to see improvements after only a few days

  • Duration of action is 3-6 months, depending on the area injected (lower face treatments typically do not last as long as we move these muscles more) and your own metabolism

​

You may develop some mild bruising & some bumps at the injection sites. These will subside on their own over the course of a few days.
