Aftercare advice
Medical wrinkle reduction: before and after treatment
Advice before and after medical wrinkle reduction.
General advice – the nurse will give you personal advice tailored to your treatment.
Before treatment
- Tell us about any medicines (especially blood thinners), allergies, pregnancy/breastfeeding, herpes and previous treatments.
- Come without make-up in the area to be treated, and with freshly washed skin.
- Avoid alcohol the day before and on the day unless otherwise agreed.
- If you are coming for the first time, the nurse will carry out a consultation and assess whether the treatment is suitable for you.
After treatment
- Do not rub or massage the area for the first few hours.
- Avoid lying flat and bending deeply forward for the first 4 hours.
- Avoid exercise, sauna and strong heat for 24 hours.
- Activate the muscles in the area with normal facial expressions – that is fine.
This is normal
- Small bumps/swellings at the injection sites for up to a couple of hours, possibly a slight headache.
- The effect comes gradually over approx. 3–14 days.
