So you’ve had a session of anti-wrinkle injections, but what should you expect next?
Considered one of, if not the, most effective way to reduce wrinkles, Anti-wrinkle treatments have become the go-to for tackling the signs of ageing.
With any aesthetic treatment, it’s always important to be aware of what to expect and the appropriate aftercare. We want to help you to make sure you’re getting the most out of your treatment.
To help you understand what to expect following an anti-wrinkle treatment, we’ll cover everything you need to know about aftercare to ensure your desired results.
We hope that you find this guide helpful and if your questions aren’t answered, get in touch with our friendly specialist team for more information or to book a consultation.
We recommend that you give the treated area time to heal before touching, rubbing, or massaging the skin.
As anti-wrinkle injections are usually administered to the face, try your best to keep your hands away. Bacteria from your hands can get into the injection site, potentially irritating the area.
As with most injectable treatments, anti-wrinkle treatments come with a few common side effects.
Bruising and swelling is common, however often subsides within a few days. Patients must avoid any facial massages/face rollers etc for at least 10 to 14 days following your treatment.
Avoid irritating the face or risking applying pressure to the injection site for at least the first 4 hours.
It is unlikely that you will have your treatment late at night, so staying up for the 4 hours after treatment should be manageable. We recommend sitting down with a good TV show, and relax.
As alcohol is a natural blood thinner, it is advised to avoid alcohol before and after your treatment.
Thinning the blood can prolong your recovery time. Prolonging recovery time will as a result, prolong viewing your final results.
We don’t recommend sitting out in the sun for long after getting your anti-wrinkle injections. This can lead to sunburn and increased blood pressure.
Stay out of the sun, saunas or any other high-heat situation for at least four hours after your procedure.
It’s important to avoid strenuous workouts or exercise for the first 24 hours following treatment.
Exercising causes increased blood flow throughout your body. As a result, this may cause the injection solution to move from its injection site. Impacting your results greatly.
If you are wondering why you haven’t seen results from your anti-wrinkle treatment yet, don’t worry. They’re on their way!
Results from anti-wrinkle injections take 10 to 14 days to show. To help get through this, remember the age-old saying, good things come to those who wait.
In the unlikely event that you have an uncommon reaction to your treatment, get in touch with our clinic.
It is extremely uncommon to experience anything outside of the common side effects.
