After Cosmetic Injectables it’s important to follow the safety rules.

Cosmetic Injectables are a wonder of modern times, but we can not forget they are scheduled drugs. The aftercare rules are not to be taken lightly.
This is our go-to guide for beautiful results .

A week before

- Stop taking fish oil, Vitamin A, Vitamin E, aspirin, ibuprofen. The only exception is if one of these is medically prescribed.

The night before

- Get plenty of rest

- Avoid alcohol

On the day of treatment 

- No heavy exercise and stay upright for upright
- No alcohol, it increases the risk of bruising


For the rest of the day after treatment

- don't rub the treated area

- don't apply makeup (increases risk of infection) 

For a few days afterwards

- Some people experience mild flu-like symptoms after wrinkle relaxer injections. It goes away on it’s own & is nothing to worry about.

- The needle entry point can leave a red mark, or a bruise. Bruises take time to go away, so we don’t suggest injectables in the 2 weeks prior to any special events like a wedding.  If this happens, it's not a sign of bad injections, it's simply human physiology and part of what can happen. 

- Don’t sleep on your face. It can move the product & cause unwanted side effects.

- Don't rub the area, if you move the product you will not love the results!

- Fillers can cause swelling, for example lips are going to look larger than they will end up, so don’t panic

-You can use ice or cool compresses if you like

-Apply Nurse Jess's aftercare cream to the area every few hours

-Cleanse the area using a non-acid, non-exfoliating product. If you don’t have one, check out our online store or ask Nurse Jess for her recommendation

- Wear SPF 30+ every day

- Wear non-acid containing moisturiser day & night

- Avoid vitamin A, AHA, BHA and scrubs for 1 week or until your skin has returned to normal 

When to contact our nurse urgently

- If a needle entry point forms a pimple or lump

- If you are concerned for any reason. Even if you just want reassurance.

-If you feel heat under the skin which is spreading

- If your lip or skin has a strange colour

- If you feel throbbing pain in your lip
