PRIOR TO YOUR INJECTABLE/NEEDLING APPOINTMENT

If you just received injections of a Neuromodulator, the purified protein will begin to work its way into the nerves within the treated areas and you will begin to feel and see changes within 3-4 days. The full effect of the product will be apparent after two weeks. The goal is to produce a more rested, smooth, younger version of you while maintaining your ability to fully express yourself.

Following treatment, you may experience swelling, redness, pain, itching, discolouration and tenderness at the site of injection. The use of Tylenol (acetaminophen) is permitted. Additionally, although rare, red or swollen bumps may occur for 2-3 days post injection. If you need to apply make up, please wait a minimum of 6 hours and apply products gently. 

Your post care instructions include:

1. For 1 hour exercise the treated muscles (i.e. practice frowning and raising your eyebrows)

2. Remain upright and do not rub the treated area for 2-3 hours (be mindful for the remainder of the day).

3. For 24 hours refrain from strenuous physical activity, hot tubs, saunas, facials (may require 2 weeks, please speak to your provider), alcohol and/or aspirin.

Results will last approx. 3-4 months. Contact your injector with any questions or concerns.

If you just received treatment with hyaluronic acid dermal filler, the product has been placed carefully in the appropriate position and a local anesthetic containing lidocaine has been used on the surface of the skin and/or by injection. 

Following treatment, you may experience swelling, redness, pain, itching, discoloration and tenderness at the site of injection. This will typically last for less than a week. Bruising is expected and should begin to subside over the first few days, Arnica can be helpful to minimize swelling and bruising (available OTC). The use of Tylenol (acetaminophen) is permitted. If the lips were injected, the swelling may be more significant. Your injector will discuss risks associated with filler treatments - contact your injector if you have any questions or concerns. 

You must guard against infection by keeping the area clean, especially the day of treatment. If you must apply make up, please wait a minimum of 3 hours and apply products gently. Avoid excessive rubbing or manipulation of the skin. Aspirin, alcohol and heavy exercise is permitted after 24-48 hours. 

It is advised to sleep on your back post treatment, avoid pressing on the treated area, avoid prolonged exposure to either hot or cold temperatures and prolonged direct sun exposure. 

Report any redness and/or visible swelling or bruising that persists for more than one week or that appears to be getting worse vs. getting better. 

Dependent upon multiple factors, filler will last approx. 6-18 months. Your final result will be visible in two weeks. Contact your injector with any questions or concerns. 

If you just received a microneedling treatment, you may experience redness between 1-3 days, inflammation, itching, burning and possible breakouts. You may experience some swelling - particularly around the eye area. 

Post procedure instructions: 

1. Do not touch your face/treated area for a minimum of 4 hours (PRP microneedling treatments will have additional instructions).

2. It is recommended to avoid sweaty exercise and sun exposure for 48-72 hours.

3. Avoid washing your face for a minimum of 4 hours (PRP microneedling treatments will have additional instructions).

4. If your skin feels dry and/or tight, you may apply a light moisturizer or hyaluronic acid serum after the initial 4 hours (home care products are available for purchase in studio or online).

5. Change your pillow case the day of treatment.

6. Wipe down your phone and/or glasses to ensure your face remains clear of bacteria. 

7. It is recommended to wait a minimum of 24 hours before applying make up products (mineral based make up is recommended).

8. Apply sunscreen prior to any sun exposure (ask us about our Colorescience product line babe!)

9. Avoid applying any skincare products that contain active ingredients for at least 72 hours.
