derma fillers

1. Avoid Touching or Massaging the Treated Area: For the first 24-48 hours, try not to touch or massage the area. If you need to, do so gently and only as advised by your provider.

2. Avoid Heat Exposure: Avoid hot environments such as saunas, hot tubs, or intense workouts for at least 48 hours. Heat can increase swelling and bruising.

3. Avoid Alcohol and Blood Thinners: For at least 24-48 hours after the treatment, avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications (like aspirin or ibuprofen) to reduce the risk of bruising.

4. Don’t Sleep on Your Face: Try to sleep on your back with your head elevated during the first few nights to minimise swelling.

5. Avoid Strenuous Exercise: Limit physical activity for 24-48 hours after the procedure to prevent excess swelling or bruising.

6. Cold Compresses: You can apply a cold compress to the treated area if there’s swelling or bruising, but avoid applying ice directly to the skin.

7. Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water can help keep your skin and tissues hydrated, aiding the healing process.

8. Sun Protection: Protect the treated areas from sun exposure by using sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) and wearing a hat to avoid pigmentation changes.

9. Be Patient: It can take a few days to a week for swelling and redness to fully subside, so be patient as the filler settles in.

If you experience any severe side effects such as persistent swelling, redness, or pain, contact your healthcare provider right away.

botox

1. Stay Upright: Try to remain upright for at least 4 hours after the injection to prevent the Botox from spreading to unintended areas.

2. Avoid Touching the Treated Area: Avoid massaging or rubbing the area where Botox was injected to avoid affecting the results.

3. No Exercise: Avoid strenuous exercise or activities that could increase blood flow for at least 24 hours.

4. No Heat Exposure: Avoid hot showers, saunas, or exposure to extreme heat for the first 24 hours.

5. Be Patient: Results may take a few days to show up fully, and any swelling or redness around the injection sites should subside within a few hours.

micro needling

   Aftercare for micro needling is important to help your skin heal properly and to maximise the results of the treatment. Here’s a guide for proper micro needling aftercare:

1. Keep Your Skin Clean: For the first 24 hours, avoid touching your face with unwashed hands.

2. Gentle cleansing: Use a gentle, non-irritating cleanser to wash your face. Avoid exfoliating or using products with active ingredients like retinol or acids for at least 48-72

3. Avoid Sun Exposure: Your skin will be more sensitive to UV rays after micro needling, so avoid direct sunlight for at least 7 days. If you must go outside, wear a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher sunscreen every 2 hours, even if it’s cloudy.

4. No Makeup for 24-48 Hours: Avoid applying makeup for the first 24 to 48 hours after treatment to prevent irritation and allow your skin to heal properly.

5. Avoid Heat and Sweating: Avoid hot showers, saunas, or strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours to minimise irritation or infection risks. Excessive sweating can irritate the skin and increase the risk of infection.

6. Don’t Pick at Your Skin: Your skin may flake or peel in the days following the treatment. Resist the urge to pick at your skin, as this can cause scarring or infection.

7. Hydration: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out.

8. Avoid Active Skincare products: Products that contain ingredients like retinol, glycolic acid, or salicylic acid. These can irritate your freshly micro needled skin.

By taking care of your skin post micro needling, you can help enhance the healing process and enjoy the full benefits of the treatment.
